Hello guys,

Anyone can help me to create a development environment for Maemo5? Please, can you share what Apps/Ides are you using on development? Code manually is not so fast, that is why an IDE is too much important on development.

Thanks,

Thanks,
depends on your language i'd say....... but eric4 & QT Designer, PythonKDE are two.

I'm learning with the Eric4 and QT Option. (Using Pymaemo - python)

Hi!

You'll find a lot of threads about this topic -> search function.

What's your host OS ? PC, Mac, Linux ?

You can try Nokia QT Creator (http://qt.nokia.com/products/developer-tools) with MADDE for cross compiling (http://wiki.maemo.org/MADDE), that's the IDE I use.

Cheers.

I'm confused. Anyone can help me?

What is the difference between qt-maemo5-opensource-src-4.6.2.tar.gz and qt-sdk-linux-x86-opensource-2010.02.bin?

I use the downloadable Maemo SDK because everything is setup for you and doesn't require changes to the Host OS.

ESBox + Eclipse is there for you, and obtaining qt-designer + Python tools aren't difficult either.

no idea on the above - but i use win xp - and my first app's progress is here

Had tried madde etc, but really couldnt even get a demo app working, also reformated a laptop with ubuntu and got the scratchbox working - but then couldnt progress any further...

With python i'm now coding and testing directly on the device! (But using python and/or eric4 and QT designer on the pc for the graphics and large lumps of code - then i transfer to the n900 via WinScp)

I think for me anyway (Personal preference) - python was the easiest too pick up and just run with.... - as you can see results in under 30 minutes!

Yes. I just don't choose it because it's Maemo Diablo environment. At least is what it says on the site...

Actually the one I have defaults to FREMANTLE_ARMEL in the scratchbox environment. It comes with 4 default profiles:

FREMANTLE_ARMEL & FREMANTLE_X86
DIABLO_ARMEL & DIABLO_X86

I think the site is slightly outdated.. but it'll link you back to Nokia's official download location where you pick the latest version. Should be good to go. I am.

Ok! I'm downloading it now. I have downloaded 1 of 1.6GB.

My download rate is 1057.3 kB/s, so in the next few minutes I will try it... Let's see if it's really good! ;D
