+ | This page is intended to consolidate the common errors that occur while trying to port Diablo applications to Fremantle. Feel free to improve this page and/or add additional information. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==maemo-select-menu-location: command not found== | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Typical error message''' | ||
+ | scratchbox/tools/bin/sh: line 1: /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure: No such file or directory | ||
+ | Setting up leafpad (0.8.16le-0maemo2) ... | ||
+ | gtk-update-icon-cache: Cache file created successfully. | ||
+ | /var/lib/dpkg/info/leafpad.postinst: line 7: maemo-select-menu-location: command not found | ||
+ | dpkg: error processing leafpad (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 127 | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Reason''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | maemo-select-menu-location is obsolete. | ||
+ | In Fremantle, there is no submenu like, "Utility", "Extra", "Settings" etc. All installed 3rd party software will be visible under "Applications" by default. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Action''' | ||
+ | Remove the instance from the post installation script. It is not needed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==Missing dependency: maemo-installer-utils== | ||
+ | '''Reason''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | The package hildon-application-manager no longer "provides" ''maemo-installer-utils''. The commands ''maemo-confirm-text'', ''maemo-application-running'', ''maemo-list-user-packages'' are still available. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Action''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Replace the dependency with hildon-application-manager. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==Missing dependency: libhildonhelp0== | ||
+ | '''Reason''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | libhildonhelp is dropped. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Action''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Remove the dependency and calls to the help APIs. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ==Limitation of Home Area applets== | ||
+ | Unlike Diablo in Fremantle these applets don't support text input, pannable areas or scrolling. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Reason''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Framework limitations. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''Action''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Replace text input fields with dialogs. Use buttons for scrolling. For further information on how to develop those applets, please check the [http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/Maemo_5_Developer_Guide/Application_Development/Writing_Desktop_Widgets documentation]. | ||

+ | == What can I do if my question is not mentioned here? == | ||
+ | |||
+ | # Look if it is discussed already in one of the mailing lists or in [http://talk.maemo.org talk.maemo.org] | ||
+ | # If not post your question in the developer mailing list or in talk | ||
+ | # If you find the answer and you think it could be interesting for others as well post it here, so that we just have to point on this page in the future if the question pops up again. |
