Well-crafted title says it all really... One David Connolly had packaged curl for OS2005, but I can't find an armel.deb binary for 2006 anywhere.

If some kind soul finds one in a drawer I'd be grateful !

(and yes, I know wget is available, but curl is what I need :-)

TIA

I've recompiled the standard Debian package, but I only have an OS 2007 development kit running at the moment. You can find the packages at http://aeracode.org/maemo/2006 - they run on both my 770 and my n800, so hopefully they'll work for you.

If you want to use a repository the details are at http://aeracode.org/index.php?page=maemo ; curl doesn't seem to appear in my Application Manager, though, even though it has the correct section... apt-get should work, however.

Thanks a lot Andrew, I didn't think my request would be answered so quickly !

For a "normal" (command-line) use of curl, do I just grab the curl armel.deb, or do I also need any of the lib* packages ?...

TIA,

libcurl is already on your device. Maemo Mapper uses it.

Aha. "DLL hell" in sight maybe ? :-)

Yes, DLL hell it looks to be...

Silly App manager throes :

If I install just curl_7.15.5-1osso1_armel.deb, it fails with an unmet dependency of libcurl3 (>=7.15.5 :-)

If I try to install libcurl3_7.15.5-1osso1_armel.deb, it offers to update the current version (probably from MMapper installation, although it doesn't appear in the list). Then it also fails with an "uncompatible package" error.

So what now ?...

The implication, then, is that the libcurl library has changed between OS2006 and OS2007. You'll have to get someone to build curl on an OS2006 SDK (as opposed to the OS2007 SDK), so that it links to the OS2006 version of libcurl.

Hopefully, the "OS2007 for 770" will have this new version of libcurl, although that still leaves most 770 users in the cold, since they won't get official support for OS2007/770 from Nokia.

Andrew, I'm working on MUD-Builder - an autobuilder to make these kind of ports more easy. I'd be keen to see a "curl" package submitted, if you're interested?

If you want to use a repository the details are at http://aeracode.org/index.php?page=maemo ; curl doesn't seem to appear in my Application Manager, though, even though it has the correct section... apt-get should work, however.
One of the key advantages of MUD would be that the MUD team would build your package for the different OSes/platforms and upload the debs to the Extras repository and - eventually - handle updating the new application catalogue (if it doesn't end up doing it automatically any time soon).

Cheers,

Andrew

Yes, I've heard of MUD-builder, and am more than willing to give it a go - saving tedious building is an excellent idea. I'll have a read through the site and see what I can do.

Also, fcc, I just installed the new version of libcurl3 on my 770 using dpkg and it worked fine, although i must say I didn't extensively test it after. I may have real 770 pages soon, we'll see.
