Bugzilla Bug 11242

update the current maemo port to new maemo sdk 4

Created an attachment (id=4358) [details]
patch to update maemo code

From my cursory examination of the patch, this removes pre-ITOS2008 support. 
As the current AbiWord on the N770 is rather buggy, is there a plan to
integrate both versions' support into a future revision of this patch?  As the
770 is still being sold as new, and there is no supported IT2008 environment
for it, I hesitate to ditch it completely.

that was my same perception. I'd love to see support for Maemo 3.0 (ie IT OS
2007) too. The patch looks nice, but really need to keep support for older
version. 

That would include adding detection of the version of the SDK in configure and
setting options accordingly.

Good work Renato

I forgot to add that I'd love to see that in the 2.6 branch ;-)

It does not remove support for versions pre-ITOS2008. The code in Abi SVN makes
use of HildonApp/HildonAppView and it was deprecated since ITOS2006. The new
code makes use of HildonProgram/HildonWindow is compatible with 770, N800 and
N810.

The only difference ITOS2008 introduces is the pkgconfig checking, as seen in
ac-helpers/abi-embedded.m4:

-         PKG_CHECK_MODULES(HILDON, hildon-libs hildon-fm dbus-1 libosso
libosso-gsf-1, [], [AC_MSG_ERROR([Hildon dependencies not satisfied.])])
+         PKG_CHECK_MODULES(HILDON, hildon-1 hildon-fm-2 dbus-1 libosso, [],
[AC_MSG_ERROR([Hildon dependencies not satisfied.])])

So, it is just a matter of keeping both checks to see if you're building for
ITOS2008 or ITOS2007/2006. Thre is no need to keep the HildonApp/AppView
obsolete code.

Does that mean that the build system (in pkg/maemo/debian ) can be used to
build packages for 2006, 2007, and 2008 all from a patched source now?

Out of curiosity, why the new function in Unix-land?

I can't confirm it 100% sure, but in theory yes. If you satisfy all
dependencies and do the right checks in abi-embedded.m4 its all good. :)

I'd say go ahead, commit the patch, and we'll fix the dependency check do build
on both.

I don't have a scratchbox here to install the Maemo SDK. I might have to do
that.

Off course this would have to be backported to 2.6 (let uwog to that) :-)

Rock! Committed to head. Will port to 2.6 as well if it doesn't give me a
headache (it shouldn't)

Committed to stable (2.6 as well).
