Thanks, Daniel!<br><br>That extras-devel repo you pointed out helped a bit but a lot of packages returns errors like:<br><br>***<br>[sbox-FREMANTLE_X86: ~] > apt-get install mcalendar <br>Reading package lists... Done<br>Building dependency tree... Done<br>Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have<br>requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable<br>distribution that some required packages have not yet been created<br>or been moved out of Incoming.<br><br>Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that<br>the package is simply not installable and a bug report against<br>that package should be filed.<br>The following information may help to resolve the situation:<br><br>The following packages have unmet dependencies:<br> mcalendar: Depends: python2.5-osso but it is not installable<br> Depends: python-sqlite but it is not installable<br> Depends: python-dateutil but it is not installable<br>E: Broken packages<br>***<br><br>Also I can't find the mozilla based web browser microb, is it not available?<br><br>I have not dived in to this too deeply yet but I guess all this is to blame on the beta state the SDK is in at the moment. On the other hand the n900 is soon out on the market and the developers at nokia (hopefully) must have a more mature SDK (don't they?) so I am a bit surprised.<br><br>I'm feeling I'm sliding out of topic here but I just believe that completeness of the SDK is essential for the community around maemo 5 based products such as the n900 to gain momentum. I just hope it's not too late.<br><br>Anyhow again thanks, I can still work on my apps backend.<br><br>Regards<br>Peter<br><br><br><br><br>> Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2009 09:45:39 +0300<br>> From: daniel.wilms@nokia.com<br>> To: peter.follo@hotmail.com<br>> CC: maemo-developers@maemo.org<br>> Subject: Re: I've installed the Maemo 5 development environment, then what?<br>> <br>> Hi Peter,<br>> <br>> the SDK you are using is still in beta state. But anyway you can run <br>> your applications in the X86 target and the Fremantle UI within the SDK. <br>> Instructions how to start it, you will find in the installation <br>> instructions [1], even though unfortunately the address book is not part <br>> of it. But it will be there in the final version. So please have a <br>> little bit of patience.<br>> <br>> For the address book API, you could check out this page out of the <br>> documentation [2].<br>> <br>> In general you can add applications in the SDK by using aptitude. For <br>> example if you add this line to your sources list (/etc/apt/sources.list):<br>> <br>> deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel fremantle free non-free<br>> <br>> and run<br>> <br>> apt-get update<br>> <br>> and finally:<br>> <br>> apt-get install "application-name"<br>> <br>> you can install and test some applications in the SDK, but in some cases <br>> with limited functionality. Your own app you can test and run as well <br>> with the command<br>> <br>> run-standalone.sh "excecutable file"<br>> <br>> <br>> [1] <br>> http://maemo.org/development/sdks/maemo_5_beta_2_sdk_installation/#StartUI<br>> [2] <br>> http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/Maemo_5_Developer_Guide/Using_Generic_Platform_Components/Using_Address_Book_API<br>> <br>> I hope this helped you a bit,<br>> <br>> Cheers Daniel<br>> <br>> ext Peter Follo wrote:<br>> > I guess I'm missing something pretty obvious here but I've been <br>> > looking for an answer for a few days now without success. :-/ Worth to <br>> > mention I'm a totally maemo newbie.<br>> ><br>> > I've followed the instructions on how to setup the maemo 5 SDK on <br>> > ubuntu and it went just fine (I think) but I was ecxpeting more, <br>> > greedy as I am.<br>> ><br>> > How do I add apps.
