Are you using Linux as development plathform, right !? If so, let's 
start for the beginning.  IMHO the usage of scratchbox makes faster and 
easier the both "setuping", developing, updating, maintaning and testing 
processes in many points. Since, there are debian based rootstraps and a 
package repository available, you should use it as you can , aiming to 
accelate these steps.

Technicly talking, you must to have two 'targets' configured in your 
scratchbox sandbox:

** a desktop target for devel - including host-gcc (and also externals 
vnc client and server running as well)
** an arm target to perform cross-compilation of your apps.

There is mini-tutorial available at the maemo official website. If you 
do not found it, please, ask for it here.

ps: As cited before, it does not support some hard tests yet (e.g. 
provide access to bluetooth hardware and stuff and so on). Thus, if  
these kind of stuffs are  mandatory to you work,  you  should have both 
scratchbox and  a system toolchain running.

kind regards
