I have been trying to compile sylpheed for nokia n900 from source code. Here is what i did :

1. Download the source code.
2. ./configure ( & ./configure --target=armel , tried both. no errors any where )
3. make
4. make dist ( to create tar.gz as written in Maemo Packaging tutorial )
5. Followed packaging tutorial till got dh_installdocs error during dpkg-buildpakage step.
6. Created a debian/sylpheed.docs file and just deleted nearly everything.
7. Did the same for ARMEL too.

Now both the debs show incompatible application package in emulator. Please help. Any step to step tutorial for anyone tryin to compile things for n900 will be helpful.
