2005-11-23 jcw A new PDA-class appliance is the Nokia 770 [L1 ]. I've succeeded in getting Tclkit 8.4.11 built for it (Linux, X11, ARM), but for some reason Tk is not agreeing with it yet. But it's a start, Starkits, Metakit, Wikit, SDX, Ratcl all seem to work. For binaries and a snapshot of an N700 running a copy of this entire wiki locally (via httpd), see http://www.equi4.com/pub/tk/arm/ . I hope someone can figure out how to get Tk working, it's beyond me...

2006-01-10 stevel We now have a tclkit 8.5 (including Tk) for the 770 ... for the moment it's at http://www.digitalsmarties.com/pub/tclkit-770 . Thanks to Jean-Claude Wippler, David Zolli, Mike Doyle and especially Meredydd Luff? for his brilliant detective work in tracking down the Xft issue that was causing Tk to crash the 770.

2006-02-03 jcw - Great joint effort! I've added that Tclkit build to the Tclkit repository, see [L2 ], it's mentioned under Linux on the Tclkit download matrix at [L3 ]. There is one issue, in that it's stored in gzip-compressed form like all other tclkit builds, but this is probably not the most convenient way to get it onto the Nokia 770. We'll probably want to look into their Debian'ish packaging scheme at some point...

As Steve Redler noted, tile72, tkimpg and tkpng kits run on the n770 providing you link from lib/armv5tel to /lib/armv5tejl.

2006-02-03 SRIV Starting with todays release, all Whim window manager starkits will include support for the N770. I'll be working on some usability enhancements to make it easier to use in a touchscreen environment. I find that all the desktop apps (starkits) run pretty well on the N770, but memory is limitied, so I plan I working to use one interp for Whim and one interp for all starkit apps.

Tckit is now listed in the Maemo website Application Catalog [L4 ].
