Not yet got further than that and haven't yet compiled anything for N900 - had a scratchbox and Qt dev env on my Linux box though for a while.

Please don't expect anything/much to come of this, as initial half-enthusiasm on my part will likely die away - but if either of you guys who wrote bits on this are still reading, I'd love a tip or two or status update. Failing that, I read some recent commit logs and try building it...

Am experienced C++ / Python dev in general but limited experience with UIs and the Qt 'slot' based way (just some Gtk in python before, on the N900 but a fairly simple app with a few 'tabs' and a scrollable list on each one dynamically generated).

In fact any other help on setting up scratchbox to work with latest working version of Qt on the phone/PC simulating environment would be great, got to hunt down the wiki entries/docs for it.
I'd love to help, you can find me on freenode if you would like to chat.

I dont remember much about scratchbox, though I think there is some installer nokia provides with all the tools you need (probably even scratchbox). Though I have used Qt even after shepherd, in both c++ and python, so i can probably help you out there

I have written some on the problems I had with scratchbox, check them out here.
