debian rules would be pretty straight forward. the real issue is dependencies, like gtk1 from what i've found.

yeah...I thought it might be gtk1 being a prime factor.
Hm...what debian based distros would have no prob with old gtk1..?
antiX possibly?

or maybe use some old resurrected distro to pull it off?

Hm..tracked down the gtk and glib for 1.2.10 ...but neither wish to play well with the latest lubuntu...
meaning...resurrecting a corpse out of the distro graveyard and beating what is needed into it.
or...
using antiX ...they look like one of the only debian distros left that are still keeping the old gtk1 flame alive...
annnnddd ...
they just finished getting antiX 15 out of beta...
sooo I'll be messing with that over the week and see what I shall see concerning getting gtkgep on it.

you could try porting it to gtk2, but there's quite a few changes:
https://developer.gnome.org/gtk2/sta...anges-2-0.html

etch had gtk1 so you could try those debs. no guarentees though. seen a few ppa's for ubuntu 12.xx as well.

Hm...yeah...
worst case I'll head to the mausoleum pull out a fresh one...
but until then there is either antiX 15 ...even 13 could very well be successful..

also there is this...
https://launchpad.net/~gabriel1984si...untu/aplicatii
guys got glib1.2 and gtk+1.2 in it ... I just threw the ppa in a fresh install of 14.04 lubuntu ...but it is late here and I'm beginning to get stretched at both ends..after I hit the snort-fort I'll see what's what with this ..if it is a mirage or an oasis.

Couldn't let it go.

Again the same thing...
only this time I am absolutely frickin' certain ...
the problem(s) isn't what we or I thought it was
The output dialogue showed the same thing with the other distros.
the one thing I KNOW though...
I installed the readily available synaptic packages glib1.2.10 devel and gtk+1.2.10 devel which the absolutely brand spanking new antiX 15 64bit has...(I'm sure 13 has them as well).
I installed alien via apt
I used the two very specificly particular openmandriva gtkgep rpms ...the libraries 1st...and gtkgep second.
and so made my 2 debs
got the same bloody output dialogue in the doing...
took the debs and threw them into gdebi.
installed ..
and..
absolutely nothing in the menu which even remotely resembled gtkgep..
went back to the terminal..
refused to believe it was impossible with every dep and requirement met...
typed gtkgep
and
voila
Here we go.
GTKgep running fine in the latest antiX 15 as a .deb



There is a real good possibility to really make this happen for our devices.

I'm tired.
it's 3am.
I'm going to bed.

Here are the debs..
use them with antix (13 or) 15 64bit ...
in synaptic enable all jessie repos
then install
- libglib1.2-dev
then
- libgtk1.2-dev
then install the lib64gtkgep0 deb next
followed by gtkgep deb .
then as root in terminal.
$ gtkgep
(for those having issues getting gtkgep to start...it's simply a matter of the dsp ...)
as root in terminal.
$ apt-get install oss-compat
$ modprobe snd-pcm-oss
then
$ gtkgep
have fun.

someone please please please finish this for the 770,n8x0 and n900
my mad mad mad need to puzzle-solve is killing me.

Some help here would be appreciated...
I'm thiiiisssss close [gestures with eensy-weensy space between finger and thumb]
We have [I believe] all the necessary dependecies covered...right down to "deb farm" catalogue libgtk1.2-dev and libglib1.2-dev
I just can't for the life of me figure out what I'm doing wrong in turning the gtkgep rpm and libgtkgep0 rpm into armel's.
I'm past stumped...
either I'm doing something wrong or omitting an important something-something in the process

Well ..thought I'd try something.....
fired up old Bessy...(one of my n800's with turbo and easy deb squeeze)
managed to get alien on it..
managed to convert the original gtkgep and libgtkgep rpms into generated i386.debs
and it isn't like I don't know where to look ...but I'll be durn'd if I can find where alien dumped the generated debs for me to fiddle with...
nary a Debian file anywhere...

Hmmm...
well after screaming and pleading at old Bessy....
finally got them into i386.debs...
my brain is turning to fudge as you read this...
I've muddled through this far...
but this isn't really my forte..
and can't say I'll be able to wrench it into an armel..

i'm on holiday at the moment so nothings getting done

I'll write you a debian control/rules etc. when i get back to try.

That would help a great deal Android,
I'd appreciate that.
I've been mucking with the debian control ...the architecture and the dependencies but hm...it isn't turning out well for me.

I'm wondering just how much harder it would be to take the best aspects of this program...and use it to just make a whole new program instead...tailored for our devices specifically...
less of a headache? more of a headache?

without source i can't say. it would remove gtk1. if its only audio parts we need, i'm sure a new ui around them would be doable.

coming home tomorrow so should be able to have a proper look sunday or one evening in the week. might take a look at building marxians latest hildon-components for thumb tonight if he hasn't put up a build yet. depends on time how much downtime i have tonight.

Hm..
I'll put up the folder in my cloud with all the variants...
including the source variants I've collected ..
and pm you the link...
it'll save some small amount of time instead of hunting stuff down...
