Default Re: Developing on the N900 itself ?

At the request of Stskeeps, I have taken the Maemo 5 SDK rootstrap and made it into a 1.1 GB image file (exactly like my Easy Debian image). I have posted the gzipped version on my server:

maemo-sdk.img.ext2.gz

On your N900:
  • Download and unzip this in your /home/user/MyDocs directory.
  • Install easy-chroot from the extras-devel repository
  • Make an SDK directory:
    Code:
    sudo mkdir /sdk
  • chroot into the SDK:
    Code:
    sudo qchroot /home/user/MyDocs/maemo-sdk.img.ext2 /sdk
  • develop and compile on-device!

Use a subdirectory of the /home/user directory to do your development in, so the final files are available outside the chroot.

EDIT: Maybe I should use realbite's environment instead?
