[maemo-developers] Seeking advice about how to cross-compile 'modest' for bora

[From: Norman Ramsey]

I'm trying to build the 'modest' email client for OS2007 (bora).
I feel like I'm missing something really fundamental here, like
whether there is a useful APT repository for this purpose or not.

I downloaded the modest source from their svn repository, and it looks
straightforward except that debian/control has a list of build-deps as
long as your arm.  Unfortunately I can't find any of them, as I don't
know what repositories to look in.  My root image contains the
following pitiful /etc/apt/sources.list:

  deb http://repository.maemo.org/ bora free non-free
  deb-src http://repository.maemo.org/ bora free

What repositories to I need to add in order to be able to run
dpkg-buildpackage on the sources?  I'm sure there must be useful
repositories at garage.maemo.org, but I don't know where.

(If it makes a difference I am running under scratchbox2 using the
Code Sourcery toolchain.)
