Summary

This is just to describe the experiences of installing the Maemo SDK on Ubuntu.

1. Install the scratchbox 1.0

1. Edit the /etc/apt/sources.list and add:

   • deb http://scratchbox.org/debian ./

     and optional:

     deb     http://ftp.fi.debian.org/debian/ sarge main
     deb-src http://ftp.fi.debian.org/debian/ sarge main

2. Install the following packages (development included):

   • sudo aptitude install scratchbox-core scratchbox-libs scratchbox-devkit-debian\
       scratchbox-devkit-perl scratchbox-devkit-doctools scratchbox-toolchain-arm-gcc3.3-glibc2.3\
       scratchbox-toolchain-i686-gcc3.3-glibc2.3 scratchbox-toolchain-arm-gcc4.01-glibc2.3 scratchbox-devkit-cputransp

3. It will install:

   • The following NEW packages will be installed:  scratchbox-core scratchbox-devkit-debian
       scratchbox-devkit-doctools  scratchbox-devkit-perl scratchbox-libs  scratchbox-toolchain-arm-gcc3.3-glibc2.3
       scratchbox-toolchain-i686-gcc3.3-glibc2.3 scratchbox-toolchain-arm-gcc4.01-glibc2.3 scratchbox-devkit-cputransp

4. Create the user:

   •    sudo sb-adduser usernam

5. Before you login to the scratchbox, make sure you correct the nsswitch.conf issue that will block you from getting the apt-get working. The way to do it is to edit from the file /scratchbox/etc/nsswitch.conf and make sure that the line with hosts looks like this:

   •    hosts:          files dns

6. We might need to install the libgtk2.0-dev which will install also:

   •    The following NEW packages will be installed:
        apt-utils binutils coreutils cpp cpp-3.3 debconf debconf-i18n
        debconf-utils debianutils defoma file fontconfig gcc gcc-3.3
        hicolor-icon-theme libacl1 libatk1.0-0 libatk1.0-data libatk1.0-dev

        whiptail x-dev x-ttcidfont-conf xfree86-common xlibs-data
        xlibs-static-dev xutils zlib1g zlib1g-dev

7. Login to scratchbox:

   •    /scratchbox/login

8. Create your target as described (need more updates here)
9. Edit your scratchbox target /etc/resolv.conf to be identical with the system /etc/resolv.conf
10. For maemo 3.0 you will also need to install on your system the following packages:

    •    sudo aptitude install scratchbox-toolchain-cs2005q3.2-glibc-arm scratchbox-toolchain-cs2005q3.2-glibc-i386

11. Download on your system the file http://repository.maemo.org/stable/bora/maemo-sdk-install_3.1.sh

12. Run the file on your system (not on the target):

    •    bash ./maemo-sdk-install_3.1.sh

13. After you install everything you login on the scratchbox as instructed at the end (i.e., sb-conf select SDK_ARMEL, sb-conf select SDK_X86). Install the extras with:

    •    fakeroot apt-get install maemo-explicit

    • which will result in:

        Recommended packages:
        libimengines-plugins-western
        The following NEW packages will be installed:
        hildon-control-panel-navigatorapplet hildon-input-method hildon-input-method-l10n-engb hildon-input-method-l10n-mr1 id3search
        ke-recv-l10n-engb ke-recv-l10n-mr1 libconbtui0 libcontact-importexport libhildon-input-method-framework-sdk2
        libhildon-input-method-plugins-sdk-western libhildon-input-method-ui-sdk2 libimengines3 libmetalayer0 libmissioncontrol libmissioncontrol-dev

        libosso-video-invitation maemo-explicit maemo-select-menu-location mission-control mission-control-filters osso-addressbook
        osso-addressbook-l10n-engb osso-addressbook-l10n-mr1 osso-applet-certman osso-applet-tasknavigator-l10n-engb
        osso-applet-tasknavigator-l10n-mr1 osso-chat-ui-l10n-engb osso-chat-ui-l10n-mr1 osso-contact-plugin osso-contact-plugin-l10n-engb
        osso-contact-plugin-l10n-mr1 osso-help-ui osso-speeddial osso-video-invitation-l10n-engb osso-video-invitation-l10n-mr1

14. Install also the xephire on the system (not on target):

    • aptitude install xserver-xephyr

15. Launch the Xephyr as DISPLAY 2 in the system (outside scratchbox):

    • Xephyr :2 -host-cursor -screen 800x480x16 -dpi 96 -ac

16. Goto your scratchbox target (ARMEL) and login and set the environment variable for DISPLAY:

    • export DISPLAY=:2

17. Launch the UI framework (from the target):

    • af-sb-init.sh start

18. The end.
