This morning, scratchbox 2 site has been updated, and they said that the old guide is not supported any more. I tried to follow this new guide:

"If you don't feel like installing a second linux distro just to build some stuff for the internet tablets, it's perfectly possible to use your host system. Simply omit the "-t /etch_root" option from the sb2-init command."

And it seemed to work well, at least I could compile the HelloWorld.c. But sb2 told me that there's no qemu set-up. I'm a bit lost. Now SDK+ comes, http://maemo-sdk.garage.maemo.org , it seems to give us a instruction to install. I didn't read yet. I was a little busy with re-trying to install scratchbox i386 (using setarch util as http://www.bytebot.net/blog/archives...nt-environment )

With that way, I installed scratchbox successully. But when I tried to install maemo sdk, it failed. Look like apt-get didn't work well.

I tried so many way, but unlucky me. All is stuck. I need to take a deep breath to start over again.

I wonder if you could be kind enough to try to install maemo on a fresh system and note some steps for me to follow? I'm using Fedora 8, amd64 bit.

In any way, thank you so much for your help so far!

A simple question first:

Why do you want scratchbox2 rather than scratchbox1 (like most of the people are using here)?

the guide is this one:
http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=sbo...=HEAD;f=README

Did you install qemu?

Yeah, sb2 because it supports 64-bit officially while scratchbox is 32-bit only. With scratchbox, I would have to "setarch" to i386. I prefer sb2, hopefully it will work synchronously with my current applications (all is 64-bit). Anyway, it's just my guess. The community is using scratchbox widely.

Yeah, I installed qemu using yum (add/remove software in Fedora), version 0.9.0-5.fc8.x86_64

Thanks for link, it's so fresh! I'm reading now.

Have a nice day!
