Hello! I've created a cool program (hack?) for my old K4NT and need some advice on packaging it up for easier installation by others.
You can see all the details here on Github, but, in a nutshell, it downloads the weather forecast for your area over Wi-Fi and displays it on the Kindle, all without any external server--the Kindle does all the work!
I have a semi-reasonable installation process worked out, but I'd like to package up the whole thing as an Update_whatever.bin and perhaps make sure it works on other Kindles than just the K4NT.
I also need advice on how to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH automatically--if I symlink the binaries I need to /usr/bin (like I see things like USBNetwork doing), how do they know to find their .so's in /usr/mnt/whatever/lib? Will this require re-compiling the binaries?
Finally, I'd like to add KUAL compatibility, which doesn't look to be too difficult, but any advice on potential landmines would be welcome.
