[maemo-community] Unrecognized Option in ARM Build on Fremantle

[From: Ed Bartosh]

Hi Ken,

Sorry for the delay. I wasn't able to read my mail last days.

The reason of this error is that scratchbox is using it's own python
by default. As far as I remember it's python 2.3. The problem is that
scratchbox python has bugs when building extensions as you can see.
And it's not only one problem with it, believe me :)

The solution is to use python2.5 from extras repository. To do that
you should replace python to python2.5 in debian/rules of your
package:

--- rules.orig  2009-04-27 23:05:57.000000000 +0300

It should do the trick for you.
