I can't get it to work.

I'm still running OS 2006.1, which has only hildon-libs0 0.12.20-1.
The binary package you published requires 0.12.22-1.
That's problem #1.

I tried to build a package from the source tarball, and got problem #
2:

dpkg-buildpackage seems to work in a Subversion checkout of nflick
trunk. Well, it would if I could figure out where to get neon.

[MDK]

Oooops, sorry about that. I guess I was a it too fast with the release.

You can get neon here: http://www.webdav.org/neon/neon-0.26.2.tar.gz

You can just
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install

... it in scratchbox. NFlick will statically-compile neon while you
build it, so there is no need to build a neon debian package.

Marius, if that works let me know and I'll lower the hildon-libs
requirement. It should work.

I did not try compilation (old-time habits tell me to never run 'make
install' as root) and instead played around with ar and tar. I edited
the control file and lowered the hildon-libs0 dependency, then
reassembled the package and installed it on my 770. The reassembled
package is here:
http://mg.pov.lt/770/dists/mistral/experimental/binary-armel/nflick_0.3.0mg1_armel.deb

It seems to work just fine. Except when I chose "Photos without a set
(0)" the first time (after looking at a couple of other sets) it crashed.
I am unable to reproduce the crash.

Another thing: when I click on a photo, I get to see it full-screen. I
can then do nothing at all, except

(1) press the Menu key and Exit
(2) press the Home key to minimize NFlick
(3) press the Power off key and get the system dialog

Shouln't the arrows/Esc/Enter do something?

Hmm... not sure what you mean? You don't need to install as root... I
meant installing it (neon) in scratchbox. So in the "worst case" you
just brick your sbox installation, which can be easil fixed by
unpacking the rootstrap again.

Actually, you can "tap" the photo to return to photo list. But you're
right that it would be nice to have hw keys do the right thing.
