OK, bluefish compiles cleanly, and runs on the tablet. Not sure how usable it is, given the small screen size and fairly busy UI (much like gftp that I compiled a few weeks ago). It requires libpcre3, which is available from the maemo-hackers repository.

Here's the screenshot:


I've posted a tarball of the compile at here, but just beware it's really untested. I didn't build a proper package yet, because I'd like some feedback before I resolve the missing build dependencies of aspell and other packages.

Installation instructions:
1. Install libpcre3 via application manager (Maemo hackers repository).
2. Download the tarball from above!
3. If downloaded to a PC, copy it to your device, either to your home directory or a card.
4. Become root.
5. Change directories to your / directory.
6. Untar the archive via tar zxvf bluefish-1.0.6_maemo.tar.gz
7. This will put the binary in your /usr/bin directory, and a number of icons and menu/configuration files in /usr/local/share/bluefish.
8. Run it as "bluefish" from a terminal. It will complain that it can't find the splash screen, but runs anyway. I couldn't find the splash image in the ubuntu source for some reason.

Give me some feedback on whether this is usable (I don't do much web development) and I'll see about making a proper package. Also, anybody with Hildonizing experience, please feel free to make the changes, I haven't had much luck with that yet!
