Introduction
HP's Reverse Polish Notation scientific calculators are just about the best one can ask from a calculator. This is the next best thing you can have without a real HP hardware.
Most (read almost all) of the work has been done by others, for more information about the original project see their site. I've made few hildonization things and a full screen skin so that it fits better on Nokia N810, Nokia N800 and Nokia N770 device running on Maemo platform.
This patch set contains preliminary set of hildonization stuff, in particular
- allows to switch to/from full screen mode using the hardware key,
- has full screen skin for the pseudo HP-calculator 42c and
- includes some quick-and-dirty Debian build files for the Maemo platform.
Only the decimal version will be built using these scripts as I think accuracy is much more important than speed. There are no other skins in the deb-package, but you may download more skins from original project site and drop them in /home/user/.free42 directory.
To compile it, obviously you must do it in properly configured Scratchbox environment. Then it should go as
If everything goes ok then, as usual, there should be Debian package in the parent directory.
