[maemo-users] Installation of Scratchbox & SDK

[From: Thadeus Burgess]

I am trying to go through the process of installing maemo 5 beta scratchbox
and the SDK from
http://maemo.org/maemo_release_documentation/maemo4.1.x/node4.htm<http://maemo.org/maemo_release_documentation/maemo4.1.x/node4.html#SECTION00442000000000000000>l
and http://maemo.org/development/sdks/maemo_5-0_installation/

I am running ArchLinux, and used the automated scratchbox installer, and
everything seemed to go well. However when I invoke the automated sdk
installer script it complains about the /dev user directory not being set
up. Any suggestions, or do I have to install Ubuntu just to develop for
Maemo?

[code]

sh maemo-sdk-install*.sh -s /opt/maemo/scratchbox

This script will install maemo SDK 5.0beta2 fremantle release to your
computer.
