I'll try the build instructions - from scratch
  1. Downloaded the SDK from https://sailfish.org/wiki/Application_SDK#Latest_SDK_Release. to my Fedora 23 system.

  2. Installing SDK: https://sailfishos.org/wiki/Applicat...K_Installation

  3. Downloading Okboard source: https://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?...&postcount=287

  4. The two dirs on my native linux box are available via the Share dir inside the mersdk build environment.
  5. Running Virtualbox, the mersdk VM allowed me to have a build environment. I ssh into the mersdk VM from my native box and away you go

Next, I extracted the language files from the RPM on https://openrepos.net/content/eber42/okboard
Finally I simply followed the instructions in README.md from the okb-keyboard dir.

Does that help?
