Just a fyi, I see ruby 1.8 in extras testing. You may not need to compile it. Enable ET and then do an apt-get ruby1.8 and ruby1.8-dev

I noticed 1.8 because I compiled Swig earlier today for the extras and I was trying to make sure swig supported to all the languages that have been ported so far to the n900/sdk.

hi, as the thread's topic states almost exactly what i was looking for, as ,for some reason, my computer crashed and my first ever project i was working on is in complete halt when just about to finish and that the only device l have now which works is my n810, i, very CURIOUSLY, am wondering if it is, at all, possiible to have those maemo5 sdk and scratchbox on my n810's diablo or with qole's easy-debian installed. thanks.

I have set up a build environment on the N900 based on the scratchbox rootstrap and used this to build debian packages on the N900 itself.
anyway since I cannot load the package onto maemo-extras I have put it here if anyone would like to try it out.

Thanks a lot for your message. You solve two of my biggest doubts in one go. As a Linux-only software craftsman since '93, who now uses Ruby for 90% of his work, I find this "phone" now more appealing than ever. I would certainly keep the phone connected to my work PC via USB and access it with SSH while at home. We are talking 32G! I recently worked for a project which reminded me how nimble Linux can be. Kernel plus X plus a couple of apps easily running off a half-a-Gig USB pen. I believe serious development can take place on the phone itself.
Can you give me an idea of how long it took for the compilation of Ruby?
Also, has anybody tried to run X apps on another display? Like, having the SMS management application running on your desktop screen, for example.

Maybe someone has any idea for some special ARMEL gcc flags that can get the compile through scratchbox ??

I have just compiled the gtk+ bindings and am looking at the qt4 bindings at the moment. Seeing that Nokia is heading the QT way I guess that I wont be putting too much energy into the hildon bindings.. but it would be useful still to have many of the osso bindings.
