Hej there,
Basically, zimlib compiles properly for symbian. The only missing point, is that I have to put the project files and patch files described in the article (currently on my wiki-home http://openzim.org/User:Cip) somewhere. While target should be to integrate them into the projects, for now I¨d suggest to put them into the zim repository.
Currently I am working on a QT-based app using zimlib. Main target is curently symbian 3rd FP1. However, binary should work on symbian 5th as well, I just cannot test it. Furthermore, it should be recompileable for other platforms supporting QT, like Maemo, but also Linux or Windows. App is currently in the state of a functional prototype, but it is already useable. I have not published Code/Binary of this app yet. I am planning to publish it in the near future, probably on sourceforge. For sure I´ll keep you updated.
I would propose that we do two things:
* create a new repository in our openZIM SVN for the symbian reader application. Christian, does the application already have a name we can use for it? Tommi should check where he wants to put this repository in, I guess directly in trunk (in parallel to zimreader) would be the right place.
* Christian: Can you send diffs between the current SVN version of zimlib and your compiling zimlib to this list, so Tommi can check and integrate them? I guess these changes have no impact on the any other platforms, so they should be easy to integrate. If we need additional files (project files or MAKEFILEs, I don't know how that works in Symbian) please add these along with the patches so Tommi can add them at the right place. If there is ongoing work to be done and Tommi has approved the quality of the current patches I would even give Christian a SVN account so he can maintain the Symbian port there on his own.
Greets,
Manuel
