Harmattan port?
Couldn't think of any better area for asking this, but is there any chance for a Harmattan port? Nokia has been releasing N9s in selected countries and some lucky developers have had N950s for a while.

Not unless someone who owns one of those devices takes a stab at it, unfortunately.
I might be worth it to ask for this on a meego forum as it is likely to contain more meego devs than this one.

Out of curiousity, can you post the output of the following command:
code:
cat /proc/component_version
In your N9 and/or N950 (and tell me what output is what)

Checked this on an early version of N950(don't ask) and there isn't /proc/component_version.
Same thing on N9, checked with file manager.

Can you check from a command line?
The file manager is not a good way to check. The file manager in my N810 cannot even get to / but only to specific directories like ~ and /media/mmc1 and /media/mmc2 and so on.

Checked in terminal on N9 and nope, /proc/component_version isn't there. Root through ssh on N950, same thing.
Also saw in the other thread that a port could already be possibly(though unlikely?) coming. Do you btw have some kind of an estimation how much work would a port need? Is the latest Symbian version done on QT or native S^3?

Can you be more specific?

Wow! Had to try on N950, the only missing dependency was libsdl1.2 and after installing that I got Scummvm installed and running(no games though).
No icon in the icon grid, but running from command line works and some files went into strange places. The resolution seemed to be a little off, tried to switch 2x resolution and now the app won't start anymore. "WARNING: SDL_SetVideoMode says we can't switch to that mode (No video mode large enough for 960x600)!"
Will do some more experimenting later.

Moved to "Other Ports"
Moved topic to "Other Ports" since it is clear that it is unrelated to Maemo or Symbian.

Meego Harmattan is actually Maemo 6, which got renamed by Nokia for branding purposes.
I'd really like to see it ported to Harmattan/N9. Similarities with Fremantle/N900 are many from what I could understand reading various forums. I hope somebody will do it soon (unfortunately I'm incapable of such a task).

You are (obviously) not alone. But like I said above:

As for the similarities:

This is a situation where they are not the same.
A binary compiled (with statically linked libraries) for an N770 (Maemo 2) will run in a N800 and an N810 (Maemo 4) and an N900 (Maemo 5) but won't run for Harmattan/N9.
An example of this is the old deb package for ScummVM 1.2.1 available from the downloads page.
Almost-similar in this case is not similar enough.

I'm doing that too

I've talked about similarities because I read this.
There I found a ScummVM package which can apparently be installed and run on N9 (but it also seems to be unusable at the moment). That made me think that architectural difficulties could be, at least partially, be already overcome. I still didn't try the package myself because I didn't enable developer mode on my device yet (so I have no terminal) and the package is installable and can be launched only via terminal (I found pointless to do so for an unusable package). I also tried to contact the author of the package, I'm waiting for an answer from him.
I don't want to argue with you, obviously. I don't wanna be the whiny, arrogant forum user who complains and wants everything, now or possibly before than now. If I can in any way help, for what I can, I'm willing and would be very glad to help. For the moment, what I can do is being vocal and try to make some noise to bring attention to the subject
EDIT:
I've been re-reading the thread I linked above, I didn't notice you were the same ScummVM developer who posted there!
I sent a message to smoku, the user who created the package I mentioned... let's hope he answers me. Did you talk to him in the past about this? I'm doing all this writing because it seemed to me that those posts by Estel "killed" that thread, nobody posted anything after his two "hostile" comments about an Harmattan port of ScummVM

I've rebuilt scummvm with SDL support and everything seems to work fine. I ran DOT with sound, voice and fun
I'm trying to understand how can I popup virtual keyboard since N9 doesn't a have physical one. If I could map, for example, a long "click/tap" to scummvm's virtual keyboard popup that would be great.
