How would one go about "porting" linux apps to the N900?

Here's a quick guide.

1. Install the SDK:

2. Read up on debian source packages:

http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/ap...ndling.en.html

3. Add a source repository to your /etc/apt/sources.list (within the SDK) that has the package you want to port.

4. sb-conf select FREMANTLE_ARMEL

5. apt-get source <packagename>

6. cd <packagedir>

7. dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b

8. Copy the resulting .deb file to your N900 and install with 'dpkg -i'

Would be nice to porting OpenOffice to N900 and run it at full speed without draining the RAM and the CPU.

Hope someone recompile it on N900 and pass it around

my way:
5. wget http://site.org/sourcecode.tar.gz
6. tar xzvf sourcecode.tar.gz
7. cd sourcecode/
8. ./configure --prefix=/opt --host arm
9. deb-make
10. nano debian/control
change architecture: all to architecture: armel
11. nano debian/rules
change ./configure to ./configure --prefix=/opt --host arm
12. dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
13. (on tablet) X-Terminal>$ /sbin/ifconfig wlan0 | grep inet
14. scp ../source_armel.deb <inet addr>:/root/
15. (on tablet) get root then # dpkg -i source_armel.deb

Thread moved to better location. Not actually a Brainstorm subject.

And how would we 'opt-ify' the resulting packages?

I ask because I'm planning on getting frotz and joe (my favourite editor) working...
