Long story short: I now have builds for Chinook and Bora, in a closed beta test. PM me to gain access, if you promise to test them well and file bugs rather than flame me :)

Can I install Abiword 2.2.7 on my nokia n800 running os 2008

Re: Abiword on N800
 

Unfortunately you can't, because some important libraries are incompatible.

Re: Abiword on N800
 

Just wondering if any one is even interested in porting a full funtional version of open office? I don't really understand what is the problem with open office. If you can run an old version of Abiword then you should be able to run a small version of Open Office

Re: Abiword on N800
 

I think the reason OO is not ported because it is a memory hug java app (someone correct me on this)

Re: Abiword on N800
 

If you are in the mood for experimenting, search a thread about openoffice.org where a full set of ooo packages for arm is referenced, & try them on your tablet. Might work... who knows? Beware that a bad mess of your os is quite likely so backup your data and be ready for a reflash.

Re: Abiword on N800
 

Keep in mind the "old version of AbiWord" (I presume you mean 2.2.7) actually had a lot of work put into it at INdT to get it to run well. AbiWord (pre-2.6) on N800/N810 is here in a closed beta and once I've gotten the main issues out of the way into a public beta. See http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...d.php?p=142391 for more info.

@T-unit:
1) OpenOffice has *huge* memory requirements.
2) OpenOffice is difficult to compile for ARM
3) OpenOffice can *never* be made to fit into the GUI of the tablets well without rewriting most of the UI.
4) OpenOffice is a large codebase that is hard to start working on for a programmer working on it in his/her spare time.
