Lol, I feel your pain. I don't know how to make a .deb either. Seems like a lot of work for something that should be more straightforward. Then again, maybe all the people that write the guides just suck as teachers.

dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -sa -S in scratchbox or madde. You don't need the .deb file cuz if you upload it to extras the autobuilder will do it for you...

As far as I remember, Nokia's new QT SDK can make .DEB files easily and even submit them immediately to Ovi-store...

Hi crash, are these errors due to there being no dependencies installed on your device?

The dependencies can be found here:
http://maemo.org/packages/source/vie...n/2.6.6-1nix0/

I basically downloaded this package and have gotten the problematic chat protocol to be fixed by the chat company. I have their corrected code and just need to add it to the guys above package. The chat company have not being able to get hold of the nix guy(Gabriel) for months now, so i have decided to take things into my own hands as many are waiting for this fix.

I had the updated code, maybe you could update his package if its not to complex. I managed to do this myself with ease, but just the compile part is complex.

ok...the ssh key is generated in linux...just type on google generate ssh key:P...fairly easy. But if you want to upload to extras just use the extras assistant https://garage.maemo.org/extras-assistant/
Folllow the steps there to get your app compiled by the autobuilder...

Efekt wont my package have to be written in QT for me to use the QT SDK.

I think long run QT would def be the way to go. But i also think nokia should just do away with Maemo and give us MeeGo and support us till we die.
