Hi,
First thank you for the warm welcome, and sorry that I could not finish yet the work on the symbian article.
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.
Best regards, Christian Pühringer

Hi all,
I just checked the Recent Changes in our wiki and noted that we got a new user[1], appearantly working on using zimlib on Symbian.
Welcome cip at the openZIM project, your notes are really amazing. If you could tell us more about your work or if you have any questions we are happy to read from you on this list.

Hi Christian,
I wonder why you need bzip2. It should not be in the default configuration any more. We decided to switch to lzma only. May be a bug in libzim?

Hej there,

While target should be to integrate them into the projects, for now I¨d suggest to put them into the zim repository.

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

This sounds really great! I tried developing a gtk based OpenZim app. The app itself is also almost usable but we have a few problems most notably that our main target is a non-touch-screen device and thus we need an alternative way to move the cursor :) No worries I am not trying to convert you to gtk, qt is the more elegant and appealing choice :)
Now, Our main OpenWrt intergrations person is in the process of porting QT to OpenWrt and should be finished within a week (I hope ;) ). I would be very interested in porting your app to OpenWrt as well if at all possible.
Is your app dependent on a cursor or touch screen ? What are the specs of your main target in terms of RAM etc (we are somewhat limited in that as well)? Do you have some screenshots of your app?
I am sure I could come up with many more questions but I'll leave it at that for now :)
Once again, great effort and really looking forward to seeing it in action!

Hi Mirko,
Currently the app, which is basically in state of a functional prototype, requires either a touchscreen (which I don´t have) or it is controlled by a virtual mousepointer automatically provided by QT. While this works, it is not exactly user friendly on non-touch devices. Therefore I plan as next step to add keypad support. (In particular scrolling of article with keypad).
What are the requirements for your application? How are you controlloing it?
Regarding resource requirements I cannot tell exactly yet. I have changed the zimlib cluster cache setting to reduce ram requirements, and probably some further tweaking can be done. However, as it¨s based on QT I don¨t think that is exactly requireing very few resources.

Aa, a mouse pointer in Qt, that sounds promising, that is exactly where gtk failed us.

Disclaimer: The link below is to a product by a company that I am involved in
The easiest is to check our webpage[1], it contains the specs and pics. Basically we have a clamshell with a full QWERTY on 32MB RAM and 366MHz with a 3" non-touch screen.
For controlling the mouse cursor we'd have a 4-way key and for scrolling additional pageUp and pageDown buttons.
Regarding resource requirements I cannot tell exactly yet. I have changed the zimlib cluster cache setting to reduce ram requirements, and probably some further tweaking can be done. However, as it¨s based on QT I don¨t think that is exactly requireing very few resources.
Zimlib runs fine on the Ben (big thanks to Tommi again), so that shouldn't be a problem. I haven't seen qt in action live yet, only from this video[2]. I am a bit fearful when it comes to Qt and resources as well, but I'd love to give it a try once we have the source and the app ported.
