[Gpephone-devel] FW: Scratchbox SDK

[JIANG Dan RD-ILAB-PEK]

Hi, Florian

Thanks for your great efforts!

The scratch SDK seems OK when compiling libiac, except that file "mkinstalldirs" could not be generated automatically and has to be added manually.

Hi!

I have a first scratchbox-based SDK packge for GPE Phone Edition available. You can use this to build binaries for the VMWare Demo images, but it should be pretty easy to reproduce the same for arbitrary cellphone devices.
It is quite similar to the VMWare images because scratchbox behaves like a virtual machine. You can compile, install and test binaries there like on a real device. To test GUI applications you can use Xoo running on your host PC. You can update the installed libraries in Scratchbox like on a PC: Install an updated ipk (if you have) or build and install a new piece of software in there.

I hope the compiler works on all current distributions. You can find some instructions and download links in the Wiki:

Please report problems and success so that we can improve this SDK. I would like to make an official release and add it to the download section once it is proven to work reliable.

Some known issues are:
- autogen.sh fails to generate a correct po/Makefile.in for some parts of our software. In this case try to use the autogen.sh from gpe-applauncher.
- libsettings is not yet included. You can build it from svn, and install it in the SDK - it might be useful to set the prefix to /usr which is what all other libraries use too.
- The /etc directory is quite limited and might want to contain some more stuff necessary for launching the GUI applications.

Enjoy!

Greetings

Florian
