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 preparations
First of all you need to have an updated packages list and extras-devel repository enabled, as meecolay always having new updates, new dependencies, new libraries packs.
Update your package list using application manager via "update" button or using terminal
apt-get update
Now you are ready to install meecolay !
apt-get install meecolay*
Will install meecolay, meecolay-core, libraries packs and the package dependencies. Now you should have
/opt/meecolay/
and please check
/opt/meecolay/libs/
if that directory does not contain libraries that means something goes wrong during installation so you need to reinstall them or download and installing the debians manually. All fine ? now you also need to update your Glib, after meecolay installation the package developer repository is automatically added to your repositories list ! http://marmistrz.net63.net/meecolay/. Issue this command to update your Glib.
apt-get install libglib2.0-0=2.22*
And
/opt/meecolay's owner should be user.
Now you are ready to try MeeGo games and apps using this command
meecolay /path/to/executable
If you found some bugs during your tries please report them to the package bugtracker https://bugs.maemo.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=MeeCoLay. And if you have some missing libraries when trying to run meecolay please tell that in meecolay thread http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=84482.
