Use MeeCoLay GUI to convert the debs
+
After installing Harmattan packages on N900 you won't see any icon, as some directories are different on Fremantle and Harmattan
 +
as as example 
 +
 
 +
The app data is stored in optfs after installation...
 +
You'll have to move the desktop file and the icon to the right directories if you want to have an icon in the app menu
 +
 
 +
 
 +
the desktop file: you should move it from
 +
/usr/share/applications/
 +
to
 +
/usr/share/applications/hildon/
 +
 
 +
the icon, from:
 +
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/80x80/apps/
 +
or
 +
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/apps/
 +
to
 +
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/
 +
 
 +
Now you only need to modify the desktop file to make the game working with meecolay !
 +
We'll take FruitGo as an example
 +
on leafpad (or any other text editor you like).
 +
leafpad /usr/share/applications/hildon/FruitGo.desktop
 +
you will see this :
 +
[Desktop Entry]
 +
Encoding=UTF-8
 +
Version=1.0
 +
Type=Application
 +
Terminal=false
 +
Name=FruitGo
 +
Exec=/usr/bin/invoker --type=d -s /opt/FruitGo/bin/FruitGo
 +
Icon=/usr/share/icons/hicolor/80x80/apps/FruitGo80.png
 +
X-Window-Icon=
 +
X-HildonDesk-ShowInToolbar=true
 +
X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable
 +
remove the exec commands and write meecolay instead, so the desktop file should look like this one :
 +
[Desktop Entry]
 +
Encoding=UTF-8
 +
Version=1.0
 +
Type=Application
 +
Terminal=false
 +
Name=FruitGo
 +
Exec=meecolay /opt/FruitGo/bin/FruitGo
 +
Icon=FruitGo80
 +
X-Window-Icon=
 +
X-HildonDesk-ShowInToolbar=true
 +
X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable
 +
 
 +
now the game should work!
 +
You may need to restart the phone for the changes to make effect.
