Hello,

Is this project still alive and maintained? Thanks

Sadly, I haven't touched this project for over a decade. It was developed for Openmoko phones, and that company went out of business not long after the first iPhone was released. I'd be happy to try to help you get it going on your phone, but it will probably take quite a bit of work if your phone uses a different graphics tool kit.

I was for many years a happy user of the Openmoko Freerunner GTA-02, than the Ubuntu phone BQ E4.5 and now for some years the Purism' L5 (https://puri.sm/products/librem-5/). The L5 runs a Debian Linux with wayland display.

I cloned the project from git and run:

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables HILDON_CFLAGS
and HILDON_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Seems there is no pkg for hildon-1

After Openmoko died, I hopped into the Nokia n900 community. I got one of the n950 phones free from Nokia, but they never actually sold that phone. It was so sad, because the m950 was just a wonderful machine. Then Nokia was absorbed by Microsoft (excruciatingly slowly) and I stopped writing phone software. I'm pretty sure the hildon stuff was open source, but I don't know where to find it.

We had a nice little group of people using my orrery app. There were a couple of display pages I added just for one user!

What is the state of software for the Librem phone? Is there no Astronomy/Night Sky software available for it?

The state of the L5 is just fine: a Linux server with SSH into it, a normal Debian Linux with all working as in any Linux, even with sudo -s. For the rest, you have contacts app, dialer, messages, firefox, ... and all what you want to install with sudo apt install or even with flatpack (which I try to avoid). It's my daily driver for 2++ years now.

For the sky, I've installed the stellarium app, which works nicely, but I think it's to heavy for this pocket mobile.

What I do read here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hildon about hildon let me think: no way :-(

Yes, Stellarium is impressive, but I hate apps that run continuous animations and deplete your battery. Orrery was very lightweight, because the processor in those early Openmoko phases was pretty wimpy.Message ID: @.***>

And cant we bring it together to Debian and L5?
