Tuxpaint OS2007 already works perfectly on N800: most of OS2006 packages works without modifications on N800.

Any chance of tweaking this to work on a Nokia N800 (OS2007)? Thanks.

@ Tom Cushwa:

I will look into the config file to see if this is configurable.

The images are already saved in the memory card: /media/mmc1/tuxpaint

About horizon: i tried it in the 2005OS and it was too slow to be useful. Is it now faster on the 2006 OS?

@ Antti:

libsdl ttf are missing in your installation, they should be installed by default.

deb http://repository.maemo.org mistral free

Put this line into /etc/apt/sources.list, run apt-get update, then
run apt-get install libsdl-ttf2.0-0, but you know that, I’m sure

This is great. I would like to get rid of the prompt line at the bottom of the screen to maximize the sketching area. Also I would like the pictures to be saved to the memory card. I can’t get the pictures off the Nokia unless they are on the memory card.
It’s a lot of fun though. If any one is very serious about sketching on the Nokia770 then they should also check out “Horizon”

Hello, thank you for porting tuxpaint to Os2006 version. I have however a problem with this. Tuxpaint do not start at all. When trying to launch from command line it gives an error message: “error while loading shared libraries: libSDL_ttf-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory”
Any ideas how to overcome this?
br, Antti
