I wouldn't fret about RAR. You don't need the full RAR package, you only need unrar. There are ARM binaries of the command line unrar utility available for various Linux distributions. I have one installed on my 770 right now and it runs just fine.

thanks pymaemo and pygames it is possible to use superchick or powerchick to read cbz files.
They are working out of the box.
example:
Code:
python ./superchick.py
The problem is, that this comic don't have the possibility to zoom in. so it is mainly worthless..

When I first read about the 770 a year ago, someone at that time was planning on releasing a port for the following:

http://comix.sourceforge.net/

Comix for the 770 is now currently in the dead zone at Maemo.org. I don't know what's up, but I truly wish the author who started the idea of getting this program ported (HINT! - it's already in Linux so it wouldn't take much for you supergeniuses out there - HINT!) would go ahead and finish it.

This program can read comics inside RARS and ZIPS, as well as Jpegs, Tiffs, etc.... and presents them in a tiny thumbnail and when you click on the thumbnail, it populates a large version you can zoom in and out of slickly. No need to extract the 20 Meg zip into a 40 meg unpacked stream of pics cluttering up a file folder, just keep each Zip file its own beautiful archive, which on the 770 would be a great thing.

I want this program ported! Don't we all?

comix should be no problem
because it depends on python , pygtk and PIL.
The first two are already available with pymaemo.
PIL can be downloaded from http://www.teemuharju.net/2006/02/24...ules-to-maemo/

give comix a try

i got comix working. but first it is not hildonized and second it is very slow and unstable
(IT 2006)

Can someone help to package comix and PIL? I followed this instructions porting-python-modules-to-maemo, but it doesn't work for IT 2006

Yeah, I know this is a dead thread, but maybe someone's taken up the challenge? I've gotten Comix to install (on an N800), but it says I need GTK+ v2.8, and I have 2.6.10 installed. Anyone know how to resolve this? Or maybe they have a better comic viewer?

I am using Evince. No problems with cbr or cbz files.

I tried evince, and while it works well with CBZ/CBR files, I'm finding that the handling of images themselves is actually pretty poor. If I unzip/rar everything into a dir and then use the built-in image viewer, it works quite a bit better, but I'd like to get the ease of compressed files, with the handling of the image app. I imagine Comix does this, but I can't really tell, as I can't get it to run.
