Re: Where are automake, autoconf, libtools?
 

pypackager or py2deb by khertan allow you to make .deb files on your tablet.

pypackager is available in Chinook Extras and py2deb is available in Diablo Extras.

Re: Where are automake, autoconf, libtools?
 

It would be really nice, especially for the next tablet which will have a little more CPU power, to easily be able to compile and package on the tablet itself. These packages were around on the 770 but I havn't really seen them since.

Completely agree here...capability to full devellopement for the device on the device '' be the basic and the first one requirement in my head...:rolleyes:

Why is not here for n810???

Re: Where are automake, autoconf, libtools?
 

Note: If you figure out how to get the autotools to install, you have to edit the files to point to /usr/bin/perl instead of /scratchbox/tools...

Had fun with this one when I was compiling advanced-backlight on the device...

Re: Where are automake, autoconf, libtools?
 

I think the best solution would be to make a 'on-tablet scratchbox' by cloning a vanilla maemo filesystem, then chrooting into that and hacking the tools into the system (from the SDK or Debian or somewhere). That way you can have an on-tablet dev system without trashing your main system.

I would host this dev system in a heartbeat if someone set it up...

Re: Where are automake, autoconf, libtools?
 

I would rather have the tools to develop directly on the tablet. The main reason I would want to develop on the tablet is so that I am not limited by the python and perl versions inside scratchbox. So I can easily compile against my own perl and python versions. As for trashing your main system, I would just have a development partition cloned out and not worry about my main system.

Re: Where are automake, autoconf, libtools?
 

Sorry penguinbait, I was obviously not clear. I am in complete agreement with you; I don't want a literal scratchbox environment, I want an SDK-style environment set up on a cloned partition. It would have all the same versions of libraries, perl, python, etc that the tablet has, but it would be specifically set up for development, not for day-to-day use as a primary OS.

I used the word "scratchbox" because it works similarly, you "login" to a virtual environment, very much like a chroot.
