Yes, I absoultely got this far. And I got the same syscall errors. I even got base to compile and install. But there seemed to be a bunch of fatal flaws (like dolphin wasn't able to find any files, konqueror wasn't able to browse anything, kdeinit was buggy and crashed) that made me wonder if some things weren't getting compiled correctly.

I think that the problem is that (and when I get home to my development environment I'll tell you more specifically) qmake runs to generate xml files and fails to do so sometimes (that's when your make is failing and hanging). It then skips that file and goes on even though it is needed for kde4 apps to work fine. These files aren't used for actually compiling kde4, meaning that the compile goes forward 'successfully', but there are missing files in the final install.

Please put Evolution mail on it!.... Please! Alas MS mail servers are rather ubiquitous so we should not ignore them just because we are in to linux. This is the only gripe I have with KDE on my tablet currently. If I could use evolution or something that did a similar job I would be on cloud nine bathed in happiness and my laptop could go to the bottom draw.

Looks like an ace project.

Until the scratchbox issue is resolved I do not anticipate this happening. Although ASIU compiling on his device has the best shot of it working. But compiling 50+ packages on your tablet, is going to take a while. Perhaps once QT is ported by Nokia this problem with scratchbox will get resolved??

I think there is a good chance of it getting fixed

The qemu arm emulation is broken but hrw has managed to boot a proper emulated N800 (not the sbox rubbish). A lot of hope imo.

I have given up on compiling at the moment x_x god hates me, and so does scratchbox. Don't count on anything from my end, but I may may try to make this monstrosity work later.

What do you mean emulated n800?

If anyone else is attempting this, here is a list of some of the DEPs needed. This is by far not all of them, just what I have gotten through....

I believe I am also for now giving up, maybe next version

Guys! You are doing great job!
I hold breath and wait for KDE4 working on my tablet. Now I play with different ported apps and feel much more like in middle of 90-th - when I first time installed SlackWare Linux. Lots of options but nothing integral. With KDE we will have several necessary applications and intagrated environment. That is whai I'd expect from Nokia. But I hope you will make it sooner.

I am not sure anyone is actually working on this? I Am not..

3.5.8 is way better than 4 anyway

noooo.... I removed it, toooooo slooooowwwwww

and without dialogs formated for small screen it is completely useless

I tried Kubuntu with KDE4 and found it useful for small desktop computer. And I wanna have this on tablet.

I am also running KDE4 on kubuntu, I think it sux, and no matter what version, trying to run on tablet with very little memory, dont expect speed. You are just waiting for disappointment.

kde 358 is very useable, just typed this... ALL dialog boxes are accessible to me. I have never found one I could not use?
