Thank you Hobbes!!
 

At first, I though you were kidding about Matrix Mode. But then I tried it (what the heck...nothing to lose, right?) and it worked!

Thank you very much!

Well, I'm sorry that many of you are having problems installing glade, I really don't remember having done anything special in order to install this lib (probably I've installed with gnumeric some time ago).

I was pretty sure that glade was available in the maemo official repository and hence that it was automatically resolved and installed as a dependency by apt-get (or is this not as it's supposed to work?).

BTW now with the "matrix" trick this should be easy to fix.

Hi Paso, is it the libglade2-dev that is supposed to be installed? The 8,5 MB one? :eek:

Thanks, Omar

No: dev is not necessary, just install libglade2.

BTW I'm confused, why dependencies are not handled automatically?
It could be something wrong in how I created the debian package (I'm not an expert on this) but apt-get should definitely handle dependencies automatically.

I don't know, since I'm not a programmer but just a user (although I could say a "power user" :) ).
I'll try with apt-get this evening when I can connect to the internet (now I'm at work)

Bye, Omar

Thanks so much for porting this! I'd been lamenting the lack of some kind of sky map for the N770's gorgeous screen, and it's almost as if you read my mind. :-)

I'm happy you like it!

I'm not an experienced GTK/debian developer but I'm trying to improve maemo-stars right now.

The project is already on Garage (I should upload the sources though).

I really need help from someone skilled in debian packaging in order to add maemo stars to extra repository, so that it can be updated through the application manager.

Improvements I'm working on:

* eliminate the status bar to have more space for star map and put coord messages in the blank space left in the status bar (I'm fighting with text being too long)
* convert config windows to dialogs (done)
* hide all not implemented features (like coord config or time)
* it would be nice to have common name for bright stars too (but here I really don't know how to do that)

Re: Maemo Stars released
 

Is there some option that displays the name of the constellation?
