Running maemo SDK on Scratchbox 1.0.2
For simplicity, this tutorial installs from tarballs to /opt/scratchbox, and refers to the ARM target with qemu cpu transparency.
Install scratchbox
Download scratchbox 1.0.2 from: ![[WWW]](/wikidata/modern/img/moin-www.png){kind=small}
http://www.scratchbox.org/download/scratchbox-1.0/
You need the atlest the following packages:
scratchbox-core scratchbox-libs scratchbox-devkit-debian
Next, you need to select the toolchains you want:
scratchbox-toolchain-arm-gcc3.4-glibc2.3 - for compiling kernel and if want a better optimizing compiled scratchbox-toolchain-i686-gcc3.3-glibc2.3 - for running SDK in x86 env, faster, easier debugging and valgrinding scratchbox-toolchain-arm-gcc3.3-glibc2.3 - legacy toolchain. you need this if you want to compile c++ appliations instead of c apps
Legacy toolchain was not ported to sbox 1.0.2 build system yet, so install the 1.0.1 version instead, if you need it: http://www.scratchbox.org/download/files/sbox-releases/1.0-old/
If you use tarballs, you can extract them anywhere as root. In this case, scratchbox was extracted to /opt/scratchbox
Configure scratchbox
# /opt/scratchbox/run_me_first.sh Do you want to use sudo mode? [yes/no] (no): no Give the name of the scratchbox group (sbox): No such group! The group 'sbox' does not seem to exist! Would you like me to create the group 'sbox' for you? [yes/no] (yes): No such group! Creating group "sbox"... Stopping Scratchbox: umount, binfmt_misc. Starting Scratchbox: binfmt_misc, mount. Now you should add one or more users with /opt/scratchbox/sbin/sbox_adduser # /opt/scratchbox/sbin/sbox_adduser myuser Add user myuser to group 'sbox'? [yes/no] (yes): Adding user `myuser' to group `sbox'... Done. Scratchbox user account for user myuser added #
Create a symlink to start scratcbox automatically on boot and stop on shutdown. This is ""distribution specific"" setup.
# ln -s /opt/scratchbox/sbin/sbox_ctl /etc/rc2.d/S99sbox # ln -s /opt/scratchbox/sbin/sbox_ctl /etc/rc0.d/K20sbox # ln -s /opt/scratchbox/sbin/sbox_ctl /etc/rc6.d/K20sbox
Setup Scratchbox target
If you are currently logged in as myuser, relogin to join "sbox" group.
$ /opt/scratchbox/login You dont have active target in scratchbox chroot. Please create one by running "sb-menu" before continuing Welcome to Scratchbox, the cross-compilation toolkit! Use 'sb-menu' to change your compilation target. See /scratchbox/doc/ for documentation. sb-conf: No current target [sbox-: ~] >
Use sb-menu to setup ARM target
Name the target ARM
Select arm-gcc-3.3-glibc-2.3 compiler
Select debian and perl devkits
Select qemu-arm cpu transparency
no to all other questions but selecting target.
exit sb-menu
[sbox-ARM: ~] >
install maemo SDK
Download and extract SDK rootstrap
[sbox-ARM: ~] > wget http://repository.maemo.org/unstable/1.1rc5/arm/Maemo_Dev_Platform_RS_v1.1rc5_arm.tgz [sbox-ARM: ~] > sb-reinstall Maemo_Dev_Platform_RS_v1.1rc5_arm.tgz
Done!
Now: compile a hello world c program and try to run it to see test that everything is set up correctly
#include <stdio.h>
main(){printf("Hello maemo!\n");}
[sbox-ARM: ~] > gcc -o hello hello.c [sbox-ARM: ~] > file hello arm elf ... [sbox-ARM: ~] > ./hello hello maemo! [sbox-ARM: ~] >
Start maemo
start an X-server in 16-bit mode, *outside scratchbox*
$ Xephyr :1 -screen 800x480x16 -dpi 96 -ac &
Start Maemo desktop:
export DISPLAY=:1 af-sb-init.sh start
Maemo desktop should appear in your sbox.
To run your own apps in the correct env,
run-standalone.sh /path/to/your/app
That's all that is different from sbox 98!
TODO: Xephyr devkit.. Xoo would be nice too, but depends on practically everything...
