configuring scratch box on Ubuntu Lucid

To begin with edit the file /etc/sysctl.conf  and add following( :~$ denotes /home/user directory)

:~$vm.vdso_enabled = 0

make the changes visible by

:~$sudo sysctl -p

Now install Xephyr

one should have proper proxy setting to download from terminal

Scratchbox is a cross compilation toolkit.

we will install Maemo SDK and Nokia binaries in the Scratchbox.

Scratchbox

download installation script  http://repository.maemo.org/unstable/5.0beta2/maemo-scratchbox-install_5.0beta2.sh or get it from attached file below.

and run as root

:~$sudo ./maemo-scratchbox-install_5.0beta2.sh ?u YOUR_USER_NAME

or optionally install as

:~$sudo apt-get install scratchbox-core scratchbox-libs scratchbox-devkit-qemu scratchbox-devkit-debian scratchbox-devkit-doctools scratchbox-devkit-perl scratchbox-toolchain-host-gcc scratchbox-toolchain-cs2007q3-glibc2.5-arm7 scratchbox-toolchain-cs2007q3-glibc2.5-i486 scratchbox-devkit-svn scratchbox-devkit-git scratchbox-devkit-apt-https

after a heavy download scratchbox will be installed.

Now close the terminal.

If one wish to add a new user , it can be done as following

:~$sudo /scratchbox/sbin/sbox_adduser NEW_USER_NAME

Maemo 5 SDK

Now open a new terminal and

download installation script http://repository.maemo.org/stable/5.0/maemo-sdk-install_5.0.sh  or get it from attached file below.

and run it as user

:~$ ./maemo-sdk-install_5.0.sh

Now accept the SDK agreement and Choose option 3 Runtime Environment + All Dev Packages.

One may get error at this step  like

ERROR: Scratchbox is not properly set up!

try following

:~$sudo /scratchbox/sbin/sbox_ctl restart

Now one can login in Scratchbox

:~$/scratchbox/login

and get prompt like

[sbox->:~] >

Nokia binaries

Its time to configure the two targets FREMANTLE_X86 and FREMANTLE_ARMEL.

[sbox->:~] > sb-conf st FREMANTLE_X86 -c cs2007q3-glibc2.5-i486 -d perl:debian-etch:doctools:svn:git -t none

[sbox->:~] > sb-conf st FREMANTLE_ARMEL -c cs2007q3-glibc2.5-arm7 -d qemu:perl:debian-etch:doctools:svn:git -t qemu-arm-sb

download the minimal rootstraps

[sbox->:~] > wget http://repository.maemo.org/stable/5.0/armel/maemo-sdk-rootstrap_5.0_armel.tgz http://repository.maemo.org/stable/5.0/i386/maemo-sdk-rootstrap_5.0_i386.tgz

[sbox-FREMANTLE_X86: ~] > sb-conf in -edFL

[sbox-FREMANTLE_X86: ~] > apt-get update

[sbox-FREMANTLE_X86: ~] > fakeroot apt-get install maemo-sdk-debug

for Nokia binaries add a repository at /etc/apt/source.list from here

and your /etc/apt/source.list or /targets/FREMANTLE_X86/etc/apt/sources.list should look like following
