* create dev and mount it from real dev with mount -o bind
* mount /sdk/dev/pts, /sdk/proc and /sdk/sys properly (not sure about the last two, the first is necessary to avoid apt-get errors)
* add to /etc/apt/sources.list the line:
Code:
deb http://repository.maemo.org/ fremantle/xxxxx nokia-binaries
replace xxxxx with the exact string from your scratchbox installation.

That's all, I just checked out a my qt4 project and compiled with:

* chroot /sdk
* apt-get update
* apt-get install libqt4-dev
* cd blah
* qmake
* make

Please test and elaborate the above instruction, and provide further hints to have all automounted and working at device boot

Regards

Niko
Hi niko,
I would be very grateful if you could kindly elaborate each step and kinda make it step by step guide for biginners/average users. I have managed to install build-essential and gtk+ on the device itself and looking to finally get the maemo sdk and figured out, from what I saw here, is quite a bit of work for average user like me. Also agreed that its good to have it separately from the OS. Thank you.

P.S However isn't it possible to just install the packages required to compile hildon applications. thanks
