1st: Install scratchbox, Maemo SDK and in SDK install libqt4-dev. Copy your project to somewhere you can see it in scratchbox and build it inside scratchbox.

2nd: Install madde (you can find guide for it somewhere). It works in Windows and Linux.

3rd: Install Nokia Qt SDK and during install select Maemo Toolkit (i think it uses madde too). Works in Windows and Linux.

4th: Install Nokia Qt SDK and select experimental tools and Qt Remote Compiler. You need Forum Nokia account but you dont need any SDKs or other tools installed than QtCreator. Works in Windows and Linux.

And to the topic:
I use Maemo SDK in Gentoo and got it work easily.
Best way is to install scratchbox from distros own packagemanager and Maemo SDK from gui-installer



You don't need to specify project to be Maemo project. Same project should work for S60, Linux, Windows, Mac and Maemo.

IMHO, dont bother install Maemo SDK if you not have a good reason. Better go with QT SDK instead (option 3 or 4). Cause we all now that Maemo is deadend and nokia will not support it.

There is rumors that QTMobility also will be suported in a upcoming release of Maemo. Dont take this as fact just rumors but hopefully true :-)

Maemo SDK works great on Arch Linux :)

It's lightweight, small and simple, so it's pretty good choice for virtual machines also.

So if anybody who uses Arch Linux could guide me step-by-step, I would be grateful!

Hi to everyone, i'd like to try to use Maemo SDK on a virtual machine in VIrtualBox, which distro is better? now i'm downloading Kubuntu in order to have qt lib already installed.

Any suggestion?
