Maemo SDK+ installation on Debian (AMD64)

96.248.214.254: /* Installing Maemo SDK+ */

The Maemo SDK+ package includes scratchbox 2 and Qt, but it will only install on 32-bit platforms. If you're running Debian with a 64-bit kernel, Maemo SDK+ can be installed into a chrooted 32-bit environment that sits on top of your 64-bit platform. This guide takes you through all the steps to the point of compilation and running the test.

===Building the chrooted platform===
All steps in this section are executed as root, directly on the host.

$ aptitude install debootstrap
$ debootstrap --arch i386 lenny /srv/lenny-ia32 http://ftp.debian.org/debian/
$ echo "deb http://maemo-sdk.garage.maemo.org/download/host debian-lenny free" >> /srv/lenny-ia32/etc/apt/sources.list
$ aptitude install schroot
$ cat >> /etc/schroot/schroot.conf <<EOF
[lenny]
description=Debian lenny
type=directory
location=/srv/lenny-ia32
priority=3
users='''''<YOUR_USERNAME_HERE!!>'''''
groups='''''<YOUR_USER_GROUPNAME_HERE!!''''' (probably "users")>
root-groups=root
run-setup-scripts=true
run-exec-scripts=true
aliases=stable,default
EOF

===Installing Maemo SDK+===
As root on the host:
$ schroot -c lenny
You are now logged in as root in the chrooted environment as ''root''.
$ aptitude update
$ aptitude install maemo-sdk
$ maemo-sdk install tools lenny-2009
$ maemo-sdk install tools lenny-2009-1
As user on the host:
$ schroot -c lenny
You are now logged in as root in the chrooted environment as a ''user''.
$ maemo-sdk install rootstrap diablo4.1.2_armel
$ sb2 -eR apt-get install maemo-sdk-runtime maemo-sdk-dev maemo-sdk-dbg

===Preparing host for target GUI===
As root on the host:
$ aptitude install xserver-xephyr

===Building Maemopad to test the build environment===
As user on the host:
$ schroot -c lenny
You are now logged in as root in the chrooted environment as a ''user''.
$ mkdir -p ~/src/mytest
$ cd ~/src/mytest
$ sb2 -eR apt-get update
$ sb2 apt-get source maemopad
$ cd maemopad-2.4
$ export SBOX_REDIRECT_FORCE=/usr/bin/perl
$ sb2 dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -d -b

===Running Maemopad===
As ''user'' on the host:
$ Xephyr :2 -host-cursor -screen 800x480x16 -dpi 96 -ac -kb
$ schroot -c lenny
You are now logged in as root in the chrooted environment as a ''user''.
$ export DISPLAY=:2
$ sb2 -eR dpkg -i maemopad_2.4_armel.deb
$ maemo-sdk start gui
Notice that Maemopad appears in the x11 window.
$ maemo-sdk stop gui

===Installing Qt===
As ''root'' in the chrooted environment:
$ aptitude install qt4-dev-tools

===Known Issues===
The procedures above work quite well, other than the fact that the following scripts are missing from the chrooted environment:
* run-standalone.sh
* af-sb-init.sh
They don't seem to be important.. just a cosmetic matter.
