What is MeeCoLay?

MeeCoLay stands for MeeGo Compatibility Layer. It allows to run Harmattan apps on Fremantle.

Configuration

This requires a bit more preparation than preenv. Why?

MeeGo libraries are sometimes very hard to be built under Fremantle autobuilder. I was playing around a bit with applauncherd. It has insane dependencies, a lot of nokia-binaries, some packages that are too old in fremantle.

It came out that using a precompiled libstdc++6 4.6.1 that can be found in a TMO thread and precompiled MeeGo binaries you can run many MeeGo apps (e.g. allegro, SzybkiDemot, ebay bargains - the first two are Polish apps)

As compiling all the stuff requires lots of (often unneeded packages), I decided I'll upload the libs onto my server and they'll be in the end downloaded automatically.

First of all you need to download the libraries.

Libraries can be downloaded from http://marmistrz.net63.net/meecolay/data Adf.ly link: http://adf.ly/91YV1

The libraries have been downloaded from http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/pool If you don't trust these libraries: just don't use 'em. You can download the same stuff from the mentioned harmattan repository. Adf.ly link: http://adf.ly/91ZeN

They are tar.bz2-ed, just unpack it with Code:

tar -xvf /path/to/file -C /opt/meecolay

Early builds of the downloader will be available as soon as it will seem usable, I'll push them onto my repository. As soon the downoader has all basic functions, it'll be pushed to extras-devel.

/opt/meecolay's owner should be user.
