Ah! There, I was forgetting to push the changes online

Damn! An apt-get update on the ARMEL target broke it... shoot, I shouldn't have done it...

Cool! I will start looking at it tomorrow.

EDIT: So Friday night I installed the Maverick Ubuntu beta and now I cannot boot into Linux. ARRG! I'm working on it.

OK, while my laptop won't boot Linux right now I got the code onto my N900 which has gcc, gdb, autoconf, etc. on it.

The problem I am having is that a few files are simlinks to files in scratchbox. In particular, when I try to ./configure it complains that "install-sh" isn't found because it is a simlink. The other files I see that are symlinks are "depcomp" and "missing".

Could you check the 'real' files in to the repo?

Oh you can remove them and run dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot again, it'll recreate the symlinks correctly for you.

Except that since I cannot get my linux laptop to boot I am trying to build it on the device. I have built many things this way so I know it works. But I don't have scratchbox.

Probably the only one I need is install-sh. Could you email it to me?

Weird, you shouldn't need scratchbox to compile it.
What errors do you get on the N900?

I've never actually installed a complete dev set on it, I probably should

I can't get past running ./configure because it wants that file. It probably doesn't need the file but I don't want to go mucking about in the configure file.

I have been looking at the source though. It's looks pretty clean and well designed.

The error is:

A simlink named install-sh IS there, but it links to scratchbox. If I just had the actual file I would be on my way.

You need to generate it.

try running this first:

./autogen.sh

usually dpkg-buildpackage takes care of this first.
If you look at the script it's pretty easy.
Just runs a bunch of "auto" tools (autoconf is the one that creates the configure file)

They all gets generated from the .ac files.

Also, as I said before, remove those symlinks.
And check you've got the "autotools" installed on your N900.
