Hi All,

I've been trying to set up the Maemo5 scratchbox SDK (with ARMEL as a target) for a few days now, and I've pretty much run out of options, so I thought I'd try asking for help.

I've tried multiple methods, including the maemo.org wiki, the nokia GUI installer, the installer script and 3 or 4 manual methods.

Most of these methods have ended up with a working X86 environment, but no CPU transparency methods configured or installed.

Host OSes I've tried :-
Ubuntu 9.04, 9.10, 10.04

I've even tried the latest SDK virtual image, which turns out not to include the SDK.

Can anyone here point me to a method of setting up a development environment that actually works? I'm happy to start from a clean OS if I have to (currently 10.04).

Hi,
I'm also starting development for maemo
I have found that the installer script "maemo-scratchbox-install_5.0.sh" worked ok, but the "maemo-sdk-install_5.0.sh" didn't so I did that part manually like it says in the wiki...

Anyway I have found easier to start with QT creator and MADDE... so I'm in that direction right now, I have been able to run a simple hello world program in the N900. I would recommend you to try it

Hi thingonaspring,

I installed scratchbox sdk with the nokia gui installer
and manual by running the scripts
maemo-scratchbox-install_5.0.sh maemo-sdk-install_5.0.sh
Both options worked.

What happend if you use the install scripts, what was the
problem with cpu transparency?

Yes, it used to include everything now it's just an image of linux serer. You need to manually set up the environment following the SDK installation guide.

The one I used was http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/...l_Installation. For whatever reason I couldn't make Xephyr work, it keeps telling me it cannot find the display port. You might have better luck.

So, it seems that this is the easiest way, but do we miss anything doing with Nokia Qt SDK ?
