[maemo-developers] need help installing maemo on fedora 8

[From: Jussi Hakala]

You might want to check up the known issues page from scratchbox.org 
wiki [1] too, in case you run into any of those problems as well.

Anyway, the things you need to do when installing scratchbox from 
tarballs in a nutshell (% is your command prompt):

1) Extract the tarballs
=======================

% for i in core libs devkit-* toolchain-* ; do
tar xzf scratchbox-$i -C / ;
done

2) Run run_me_first script
==========================

% cd /scratchbox
% sudo ./run_me_first.sh

(you don't want to use sudo mode when script asks)

3) Start scratchbox
===================

% sudo /scratchbox/sbin/sbox_ctl start

4) Add yourself a scratchbox user
=================================

% sudo /scratchbox/sbin/sbox_adduser $USER

(may need to relogin for the group changes to be effective)

5) Edit, hack & compile
=======================

% /scratchbox/login

You'll need at least one toolchain and cputransp devkit, in case your 
architecture is different from the host (I'm assuming arm for maemo).

Didn't actually test the commands myself, so keep in mind that there 
might be typos and they may vary depending on your host system and 
installation needs.

Hope this helps,
