Guys, remember I promised that I was not going to post new photos on my blog until I have one with tinymail running on the OLPC mobo?
Well, I will need my blog-space for posting pictures soon. So here’s a picture of tinymail running on the OLPC mobo!
I haven’t yet implemented a account store that doesn’t use GConf for reading the account configuration. Nor have I already added a patch for Camel in camel-lite-builder that removes Camels GnomeVFS dependency. Since a month or so, Camel depends on GnomeVFS, which at this moment pulls things like Bonobo and ORBit-2.
So .. I don’t think it’s a good idea not to patch it out of Camel before starting to use Camel on devices like the OLPC laptop. The OLPC image indeed doesn’t seem to come with libraries like GConf, Bonobo and ORBit-2. Other than that, it’s a very easy device to target. It’s no surprise that tinymail runs on it.
There’s of course a gnome-vfs-dbus. Very interesting of course. Might also be a solution for this. Well, the current hack for getting it to run was simply removing the two files from Camels Makefile.am.
