GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1~bzr99756 for Nokia N900 - maemo.org

白い熊 | # 1 | 2010-07-10, 19:37 | Report

I've posted a new version of GNU Emacs at: http://kumatux.org/Applications.html

with all dependencies compiled. Previous versions had some dependencies missing, so wouldn't run on a stock clean N900.

Thanks, can you upload to extras-dev or extras-testing?

Or at least a freely compiled deb. I like the permise of kumatux and all, but the convenience of a deb packages still appeals to me.

No, will not do it. I've built kumatux.org exactly for this purpose, so that you can put any app anywhere, in any dir on the system, and install and run without root privileges.

So that you don't mess with the base system.

If you need debian packages, you'll have to build them yourself...

I installed kumatux org and several programs. The xz utility worked fine after the linking but emacs does not. I installed all the kumatux apps to /home/user/kumatux.org-apps but this doesn't seem to work with emacs. When I try to start emacs from the command line I get the following error message:

Code:

This means that Emacs hardcodes some paths when compiling.

As you see from your errors it's looking for /media/0/kumatux.org-apps/emacs...

Just mkdir or symlink /media/0/kumatux.org-apps and symlink the emacs... dir from /home/user/ into it and it'll work.

Most apps run fine from anywhere, but seems emacs doesn't...

Thanks for your reply. After creating the relevant symlink it seems to work fine.

Thanks a lot for making emacs-24 available.

emacs is looking for libgif.so which doesn't seem to be anywhere on my n900. I didn't see libgif mentioned on kumatux.org. What's the best way to get it?
Thanks.
And thanks for kumatux.org and n900 emacs!

Sorry for putting the info in this thread, but it is related to kumatux.org.

I just installed guile (thank you!) and just wanted to let you know that it depends on gmp (which can be downloaded from the kumatux.org site, but which isn't listed as a dependency for guile).
