[maemo-developers] Is there any way to build Maemo applications which can

[From: Huang Gao]

Yes, I also found that it is difficult to extract compiler tool chain from
sctratch box since the referenced libraries of glibc are all in an absolute
path.

Thanks all for your information!

Development for an N800 outside scratchbox is not easy to do. 

Theoretically, I could do emdebian development for my Nokia, but the
dependencies of the compiled applications would be all wrong. I have not
succeded at doing qemu emulation of a maemo build environment, although that
would potentially be very nice.

 

You'll probably need to build/download your own cross-compiler. What's your
objection with scratchbox? Too big? If so, I've had success using my Maemo
rootstrap with scratchbox 2, which is a much more generic tool. I did find
that I've had to put some work into hacking the path mapping script that
scratchbox 2 uses to get the right paths mapped in and out of the build
root, but nothing too difficult.
