Best linux distro to try maemo SDK
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? Regards |
Re: Best linux distro to try maemo SDK
OK Not Kubuntu, it does not start on my virtual machine (after selecting live or install only a black screen......)

Re: Best linux distro to try maemo SDK
I'm pretty sure it must be Ubuntu.
I am having quite a hard time figuring it out in Arch Linux, and have given up lots of times. So if anybody who uses Arch Linux could guide me step-by-step, I would be grateful! |
Re: Best linux distro to try maemo SDK
OK. I installed linux mint, run the gui installer (python script) and now i have my scratchbox and emulator working... but no software to develop in c++/qt? Do i need to install manually Qt Creator? In my Scratchbox i do not have qmake executable..... sorry for my ignorance: is there some good link to understand how to create a complete development enviroment (c++/qt) for n900?

Re: Best linux distro to try maemo SDK
where do I find a list with the tools needed to build apps under Ubuntu?
I've found just an article saying how to create a reddit clone .. and it was regarding scartchbox development. |

Re: Best linux distro to try maemo SDK
I do not know... i mean i went here
http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.n...emo_5_SDK.html i downloaded the gui installer, i lanched the python installer reading this guide http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/...l_Installation section 2.2 now i have scratchbox and the simulator..... and then? To build a Qt app/widget? After that i also installed qt sdk from here http://qt.nokia.com/downloads/ but if i create a new project, there's no any place to put "maemo project" (as they say in the guide...) At the moment i'm not able to build any app for n900.... |
Re: Best linux distro to try maemo SDK

if I find a fix for your problem I'll post here. |
Re: Best linux distro to try maemo SDK
To build qt app for Maemo 5, you have 4 ways to do it:
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 Quote:

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 :-) |
Re: Best linux distro to try maemo SDK
Maemo SDK works great on Arch Linux :)
It's lightweight, small and simple, so it's pretty good choice for virtual machines also. Quote:
