Ditto - trying to get Maemo SDK up and running with ESBox on Ubuntu 9.10 has been one of the most painful experiences to date.

As a WinTel C++ developer I probably had a steeper hill to climb, moving to Linux. However there will be a lot of potential developers coming the same route and I reckon most will be put off.

The documenation is very poor for the SDKs as well, with most links etc leading off to different sites.

I even find the example templates in ESBox to be out of date and in need of fixing before they will execute.

Even now I cannot be sure that the SDK is running 100% as various errors etc show up when the af-sb-init.sh start script is executed.

There's a new Python installer available that provides a UI to help with the install of the SDK which does seem to be moving in the right direction.

Anyone managed to get OpenGL to work on the x86 Sandbox ?
