Very Confused

[Geck0killer]

I am running vista and I installed the the maemo SDK following the instructions on thus site: http://maemovmware.garage.maemo.org/
I start VmWare and run the Install Nokia Binaries.
I then run Maemo Scratchbox.
This comes up on the scratchboc command line :

Welcome to Scratchbox, the cross-compilation toolkit!

Use 'sb-menu' to change your compilation target.
See /scratchbox/doc/ for documentation.

[sbox-DIABLO_X86: ~] >.

I then try and follow these instructions: http://maemo.org/development/documentation/tutorials/maemo_4-0_tutorial/

I keep getting stuck at step 5: Create file "maemo_hello.c" with the source code below...

How do you create that file and where do you place it?

[Frank Banul]

Using your favorite text editor? Vi, emacs, gedit? You need to place the file in the scratchbox environment, /scratchbox/users/<user id>/home/<user id> where <user id> is your login id.

I hope I'm understanding your question.

and the user id is...? I have never been prompted for an id.
and after that do i just run: [sbox-DIABLO_X86: ~] >run-standalone.sh ./maemo_hello ?
and my final question... can you open .deb files through the scratchbox?

Thanks for the quick reply!

To find your userid, type whoami.

After you create the file, from your tutorial link follow step 6 and onward. You have to compile the program and then give it a place to run.

Sorry, I didn't mention debs. Towards the bottom of the tutorial, see Installing to SDK.

One more question. How would you go about extracting the source code from a .deb file?
