Hi,
I have an application that I would love to run
on my N810. I know this is possible because it
has been done for Unison, including its GTK interface.

However, I haven't a clue on how this has been done.
It says 2.5Gb are needed, but this includes OpenOffice
and Firefox, which I don't need. Can you detail the
"easy debian" technique for installing ocaml in a lighter
way ?
It seems that at the time I tried (last summer), easy-debian was smaller and fitted in the internal memory card
(my debian-squeeze.img.ext2 file weights 1.2 GB).
What I did is:
- followed their installation instructions
- just for fun, tried once in my life to lunch open-office on a PDA :)
- played with localepurge (apt-get install localepurge) and many apt-get remove and apt-get clean, to make space to install ocaml & co
But you can provide your own debian tree or disk-image to the easy-debian scripts (I did not try but they say so).
I got access to all the ocaml packages which are available on debian-ARM. Everything I tried worked perfectly (but I only tried "text mode" apps).
GTK is part of mameo, so with luck, lablGTK should also
work. Have you tried ?
no I even removed all X11 packages.
