I think so coz it should have got downloaded when I gave, apt-get install maemo-sdk-dev and the problem is while setting up things but I could be wrong and moreover, I think, when I looked at the error that it was saying sth like post-installation error..

Re: Developing on the N900 itself ?

Here's most of what I did to create a working package of

fcamera_0.1.3-1_armel.deb

on the device.

If I missed something, first try to fix it yourself, but if I made a mistake other than a package install or a repository configuration, please post it here.

1. Create armel versions of qmake and moc

This could easily benefit from a strip down, but at the moment it needs almost 800 MB.

From your source directory in your development chroot, do the following:

Code:

apt-get install libqt4-dev

apt-get source libqt4-dev

# The above is a long process, be patient

cd qt4-x11-4.6.2~git20100401

# copy the attached file zrules.txt to the debian directory

. debian/zrules.txt

# The above is a very long process, could be streamlined, for now, be patient

cp -a bin/qmake /usr/bin

cd src/tools/bootstrap

make

cd ../moc

make

cd ../../../bin

strip moc

cp -a moc /usr/bin

2. Build fcamera_0.1.3-1_armel.deb

Code:

cd ../..

apt-get install fcam-dev

apt-get source fcamera

scp <scratchbox user>@<scratchbox host>:/scratchbox/compilers/cs2007q3-glibc2.5-arm7/lib/gcc/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/4.2.1/include/arm_neon.h /usr/include

apt-get install pulseaudio-dev

cd fcamera-0.1.3

dpkg-buildpackage -b -d -nc

Good luck!

Is there a solution that would only require me to like download one file, run it, and keep pressing "next", "ok", "yes" etc in order to have it all setup and ready to use?

Not that I know of, but great idea. Maybe I'll cook something up today or tomorrow. If I or anyone else hasn't posted a solution here by 8:00 pm PDT, feel free to bump this thread.

Re: Developing on the N900 itself ?

anyone knows an IDE(eclipse, Anjuta) that can run on maemo or o easy debian?

Re: Developing on the N900 itself ?

VERY GOOD NEWS for those already using an on-device sdk. I finally got rid of my pesky

Code:

perl: warning: Setting locale failed.

perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:

        LANGUAGE = (unset),

        LC_ALL = (unset),

        LC_PAPER = "en_US",

        LC_ADDRESS = "en_US",

        LC_MONETARY = "en_US",

        LC_NUMERIC = "en_US",

        LC_TELEPHONE = "en_US",

        LC_MESSAGES = "en_US",

        LC_IDENTIFICATION = "en_US",

        LC_MEASUREMENT = "en_US",

        LC_TIME = "en_US",

        LC_NAME = "en_US",

        LANG = "en_US"

    are supported and installed on your system.

perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").

messages. If you too have been receiving these types of messages, install the following packages into your sdk:

Code:

locale-resolver-data

posix-locales

libi18n-locale-resolver0

I'm not sure if you need all three, but who cares!

For those waiting for a one-script-does-all, I'm still in the process of over engineering it. If I'm taking too long for you, see this post if you want to get started today.

Re: Developing on the N900 itself ?

For small QT development on N900 itself -

Standard Maemo 5 repository (both - maemo.org and Nokia) doesn't have ARMEL binaries in libqt4-dev (see bug https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11445) since PR1.2.

So, to run qt4 qmake/uic/moc compilers/builders - get and install libqt4-dev-armel package from https://garage.maemo.org/projects/libqt4-dev-arm/ instead of libqt4-dev

If you install IceTea (Java) then the standard Netbeans instal runs fine in Meamo. I guess Eclipse should too. I think there's a couple of IDEs in the Easy Debian repos too.

A full IDE will be much slower than vim or nano though.

Personnally i use KhtEditor as editor, maybe because i'm the author :)
