[maemo-developers] Need Help for developing Maemo Application

[From: Venugopal Rao Gubbala]

Hi Grandi,

Thanks for you reply.

I am facing some problem while running the script "./maemo-scratchbox-install_4.1.2.sh"

Error ::

Host kernel VDSO support... no
E: Host kernel VDSO support is incompatible with scratchbox.
E: You can disable VDSO support for this session with
E: 'echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/vdso_enabled' as root
E: For a permanent solution you may add 'vm.vdso_enabled = 0'
E: to /etc/sysctl.conf and run 'sysctl -p' as root

Can you tell me what is VDSO and how I should disable or change the value. I actually tried the steps given in the error message but was not successfully.

Regards
Venugopal

Hi,

I suggest you to use a Debian base distribution, like Debian itself or
Ubuntu (please note that Xephyr component, distributed with latest
Ubuntu (Jaunty) contains a bug that makes the Maemo environment to
crash whenever you click inside a textbox. It's a known issue and you
already can find around patched packages.

Maemo only supports Gtk, officially, at the moment. Fremantle is Gtk
based. A version of Qt will be available for Fremantle too, but it
won't be officially supported neither complete.

yes and no. You can use whatever editor you want, but I suggest you to
give a look at this IDE:
http://esbox.garage.maemo.org/2nd_edition/index.html

p.s: please avoid sending HTML formatted emails to the mailing list,
not all like them :)
