I have been unsuccessful compiling the Maemo 5 kernel following the instructions given on these two sources:

http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/...o_Kernel_Guide

http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.ph..._for_beginners

using a Ubuntu 10.04 (32-bit) Desktop on VirtualBox.

I am planning to test with Ubuntu 9.04. Before doing that, could someone guide me how to compile the kernel from within the Maemo 5 itself on N900 without dealing with that scratchbox complexity?

Thanks.
