I tried to follow the instructions on http://openinkpot.org/wiki/BuildInstructions and bootstrap a deveopment environment. I have debian unstable on my computer and I followed the instructions but got:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

You're slightly unlucky - I broke it today and did not fix it yet :)

P.S.: Better ask in IRC.

Try the pre-created image on the same page instead as a workaround.

I am not really an IRC person but I might have to try to find a good client and join the channel...

You can use mibbit.com if you don't want to bother with installing clients. There there is ChatZilla and Opera's built-in client.

I actually managed to install bitchx on my stable debain and are just installing something else on unstable since bitchx is removed from unstable.

I have also managed to build MadShelf and running it locally. And I am planning to write a libextract module for MobiPocket files.

Locally on your pc or locally on your cybook? And if the latter, is this the "using the d-pad *as* a d-pad" version (D-pad = navigation control for those who think in those terms.) And if you've *got* a version of OI, Madshelf (d-pad) and FBReader up, could you zip it and post it here?

Locally on my PC. When I have managed to build FBReader also I will try to build for the Cybook.

I do not think D-pad navigation is implemented but I might be wrong (I skimmed the code).

I know that the older version of Madshelf re-maps "0"-"6" and "9" to several of the keys - including some of the d-pad's to a Jinke V3 work-a-like, but another version is supposed to exist which actually treats the d-pad as a d-pad and works with it.

Derek

You are right. The current version has D-pad navigation. I just tested it under X.
