maemo.org - Talk - Ubuntu Karmic installation help: test compilation fails

I want to set up a development environment on my Ubuntu Karmic box. The nearest thing to instructions I can find are these:

http://maemo-sdk.garage.maemo.org/install-ubuntu.html

Unfortunately it only claims to have been tested on Jaunty, not Karmic, but I'm trying anyway.

I've installed all the things it asked me to do, and I'm trying to test compilation of maemopad. The compilation fails like this:

Code:

It's complaining that I don't have enough memory. It's true that I'm running on an EEE Box with 1GB memory, but I'd expect that it can't actually run out of memory, since there's virtual memory too:

Code:

mat@Winter:~/src/mytest/maemopad-2.4$ free

             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached

Mem:       1018080     945868      72212          0      46772     256048

The only thing I can think of is if I haven't set things up correctly. The document says "Make sure that you have installed the Diablo armel rootstrap and are using diablo4.1.2_armel as the default target", but it doesn't say how. I did it by running maemo-sdk and selecting a couple of sensible-looking options, which gave this output:

Code:

Setting up the default rootstrap to be ``diablo4.1.2_armel''...

Target emulation mode set to sb2-qemu-arm.

Is this wrong?

I'm finding this documentation to be pretty lame. I mean, Nokia is supposed to be encouraging developers to work on its fancy new platform so it can stop Apple stealing its lunch, and what we get is a bunch of vague, outdated instructions that don't work?
