Another newbie question:
With Scratchbox and Xephyr running I can see the basic desktop (with the green PS3 looking background). If I click on Application Manager and and then select catalogues there is a "NEW" button that launches the Add-a-catalogue form.
I've tried adding a repository but it doesn't seem to save it; so now I have a few questions.
1. Should I be able to load a catalogue in the SDK? If so How?
2. Can I hand edit it? I expected that the contents of the /etc/apt/sources.list would be loaded here. (I've even used the red pill)
3. Is it wrong for me to expect other applications to be loaded (contacts, calendar, etc) I realize this is a Development environment for our code, but I would assume you could still connect to other repositories just for testing learning purposes.
4. Do I not have the Fremantle Extras loaded correctly? If I go to
http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d...remantle/free/ with my browser I see a pile of apps and libraries. Do I have to explicitly Make and Install these?
Thanks again, I'm feeling a little less lost these days. I'm also quite impressed with the Maemo community, it seems that although it's a lot smaller than Symbian, developers are quite welcoming to new comers and our confused questions.

I have seen the binaries fail, so I have a simple check on the two binaries installs (Error 1 & Error 2). If you get those, you just need to re-run the script and hopefully the repository will be working at that point.
Nathan.
Is there anyway that I can do a Post-install check to see if those 5 binaries installed correctly?
Explicit directories created, etc.?

Downloaded the .02 image, but when doing Step 1. (Install scratchbox) it just says this:
Checking network connection..
Updating scripts..
.. and then it closes the window.
Network is working properly and Giplet shows my Ip address, although I had to change it from the properties to show eth1 instead of eth0.
Edit: I run the script on terminal and fount out the reason:
Install_Scratchboxz line8 is giving Permission denied.
I chmodded Install_Scratchbox_Main and it works now.

lostinmirkwood - you almost got it, I was happy, it started installing, went few miles, oh there are again some errors. I am kind of thinking do I wait till maemo dev on windows gets bit 'stronger'.
Even it gets installed - I have no idea where to start coding and run up something on a emulator inside that alien console.......

Thanks for letting me know -- I've submitted a new version of the script that will chmod all the install files first. ;-)

The Normal SDK installation actually has error checking of its own.

It seems that others are running into a little problem that I ran into my self; I found that repository.maemo.org was failing for DNS lookup inside of scratchbox, I followed the suggestions inside of this thread and ran sudo cp /etc/resolv.conf /scratchbox/etc/resolv.conf
which instantly fixed some of the lookup problems inside scratchbox, just a thought.
My /scratchbox/etc/resolv.conf was using loopback for DNS.
This effectively changed it to something reasonable like 4.2.2.2

Nathan: Just wanted to report that I got it installed now and everything went smooth after that small hiccup. Good work. I only installed Qt support and created a small HelloWorld app to try QtCreator out. Will wait for the Qt Scratchbox integration - best of luck with that one!

Also https://garage.maemo.org/projects/maemoexamples/ has a ton of fremantle samples that you can compile and run in the scratchbox. I've compiled a bunch of them for testing.

Actually I just figured out that you can use Apt-get from inside the scratchbox to pull any applications that have i386 in them. (See the below post of mine)
As for adding sources; you need to dig deep into the scratchbox /scratchbox/home/maemo/users/maemo/target/<target>/etc/apt/sources.list (While inside the scratchbox, you can use /etc/apt/ for the current target's sources.list file)
