[Gpephone-devel] FW: Scratchbox SDK

[YU Yijun RD-ILAB-PEK]

Congraluations! Florian. It will make work easier for the majority of developers.

BTW, should we maintain two vmware image releases, one for OE and the other for Scratchbox?

Regards
Yu Yijun

>It is quite similar to the VMWare images because scratchbox behaves like a

>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!
