Hello,

I am trying to setup a clean scratchbox for Chinook and the downloads fail miserably, anyone else have these issues? Solutions?

Thanks,
Edward

Well the VMware virtual machine works for me, although it was released during the beta phase and I'm not entirely sure that the 'apt-get dist-upgrade' i did has brought it in line with the OS2008 release version.

It's a big download, over 1GB IIRC, but at least it doesn't come from maemo.org but via torrent.

Hope this helps

Hello,

I really need the latest chinook as I have the latest on the n810... Beta built packages end up not installing without using by hand installers it appears.

Thanks though.
Edward

If you're running Linux, you can try this:

Hi

I have also downloaded this VM, it extracts to around 5.6 gig in all.

I then chucked it on an external drive using Moka5 so I can carry it around with me.

Now all I need is some pointers on where to start with regards development.

Add me to those having issues setting up the dev environment. I have an ubuntu 7.10 vm on my iMac. Scratchbox installed without issue and I had no problem adding me as a user. When I run the SDK installer, I get a ton of messages saying size mismatch when trying to download some packages and it errors out with the following:

Size mismatch
E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?
E: Unable to install maemo-sdk-dev on CHINOOK_X86 target.
E: Please check the sources.list for errors.
E: Scratchbox login returned error 100.


Any ideas? ->BTW, I'm new to maemo, but not really new to Linux

Thanks!

Ignore me... This is also related to repo's having issues since update. When I browse to one of the packages, the name links to a HTML page saying the service is temporarily unavailable instead of the actual package. I guess patience is just going to have to be a virtual here.

Thanks

I've tried using the VMWare appliance...lit's a nice idea, and scratchbox works fine...in fact, it's the only way I've been able to get scratchbox set up on my x86_64 machine.

The problem I'm having with the VMWare image is that there isn't enough disk space in the image for me to work with Qt, Qtopia, and any applications. I've removed extraneous packages, but it's still too tight. Given that the scratchbox login runs within a chroot'ed environment, it doesn't see external storage (ie., USB keys) that are available to the VMWare image.

[As I'm typing this message, I'm realizing that I may just need to add the /dev entries within the chroot environment.] Any other suggestions for making more storage available to the scratchbox environment within the VMWare image?

this looks really promising:
