This is a quite low-volume mailing list.
So done :)

have you seen that there is a package of the zimlib and zimreader for
openmoko?

Maybe this gives you at least some fixes to be able to build your binary for
the Freerunner. As far as Marc wrote yesterday on dev-l his patches were
integrated into openZIM trunk, so compiling should work now on openmoko.
What is missing are packages - and I think that's exactly your point ;-)
I hope that way the diverse efforts on openmoko can work hand-in-hand.
Nice, I will ask Angus (distro maintainer for OM2009) if he can get us something here :)

As far as I know the zimlib has only libbz2 as dependancy, cxxtools should
have been removed already.
The zimreader needs cxxtools and tntnet, tntnet tries to include gnutls or
openssl and database backends (via tntdb), but those things can be disabled
using configure.

The next developers meeting will take place this autumn, most likely on

Developers meeting sounds great and it isn't too far either :) Just pick the date that is best for you guys and I will plan around it :)
Mirko Voigt, and others, made great progress on our kernel and image over the past couple of days so we are getting closer to a working user space and thus to toying on the device. Anyone in your team that would like to support the process on the device itself?
