maemo 5

Installing maemo 5 (freemantle, see codenames) for N900 (maemo 5 does not run on the N810) in a SUSE Linux 11.2 x32 virtual machine resulted in

Processing was halted because there were too many errors.

So trying SUSE 11.1 (where maemo 4 worked):

root@i386 # useradd -m scratchboxuser
root@i386 # passwd scratchboxuser
root@i386 # wget http://repository.maemo.org/stable/fremantle/maemo-scratchbox-install_5.0.sh
root@i386 # chmod 777 maemo-scratchbox-install_5.0.sh
root@i386 # ./maemo-scratchbox-install_5.0.sh -s /scratchbox
root@i386 # /scratchbox/sbin/sbox_adduser scratchboxuser
root@i386 # su - scratchboxuser
scratchboxuser@i386 $ wget http://repository.maemo.org/stable/fremantle/maemo-sdk-install_5.0.sh
scratchboxuser@i386 $ sh maemo-sdk-install_5.0.sh

results in

Happy hacking!

main.cpp

#include <QApplication>
#include <QPushButton>
int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{
  QApplication qa(argc,argv);

Compiling on the N810

• install openssh on the N810
• Find out what maemo version you have. Choose Settings -> Control Panel -> About. If you get "Product maemo Linux based OS2008 Version:5.2008.43-7" this means maemo 4.1. So you have maemo, os2008 and diablo (more info).
• download wget from http://repository.maemo.org/pool/maemo4.1.2/free/w/wget/. Copy it to your computer and scp it to your N810.
• get glibc

wget http://repository.maemo.org/pool/maemo4.1.2/free/g/glibc/libc6-dev_2.5.0-1osso10_armel.deb

• get linux kernel headers

wget http://repository.maemo.org/pool/maemo4.1.2/free/l/linux-kernel-headers/linux-kernel-headers_2.6.16.osso11-1_armel.deb

• get libgcc

wget http://repository.maemo.org/pool/maemo4.1.2/free/g/gcc-3.4/libgcc1_3.4.4cs2005q3.2-5.osso8_armel.deb

• install everything

dpkg -i gcc-3.4_3.4.4cs2005q3.2-5.osso8_armel.deb libc6-dev_2.5.0-1osso10_armel.deb linux-kernel-headers/linux-kernel-headers_2.6.16.osso11-1_armel.deb

• do the usual test

Nokia-N810-43-7:~# cat main.c
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{ printf("hello world"); }

Nokia-N810-43-7:~# gcc-3.4 -o greeter main.c
Nokia-N810-43-7:~# ./greeter
hello worldNokia-N810-43-7:~#

C++

• Try to compile a C++ program

Nokia-N810-43-7:/media/mmc1# cat main.cpp
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
  std::cout << "hello C++" << std::endl;
}
Nokia-N810-43-7:/media/mmc1# gcc-3.4 main.cpp
<unknown> tried to exec cc1plus but failed (No such file or directory)

• download g++

wget http://repository.maemo.org/pool/maemo4.1.2/free/g/gcc-3.4/g++-3.4_3.4.4cs2005q3.2-5.osso8_armel.deb

• download lib standard C++

wget http://repository.maemo.org/pool/maemo4.1.2/free/g/gcc-3.4/libstdc++6-dev_3.4.4cs2005q3.2-5.osso8_armel.deb

• install g++

dpkg -i libstdc++6-dev_3.4.4cs2005q3.2-5.osso8_armel.deb g++-3.4_3.4.4cs2005q3.2-5.osso8_armel.deb

• try to compile main.cpp again

gcc-3.4 main.cpp
/var/tmp/ccQkm9NS.o: In function `std::__verify_grouping...

• ok, but do it right

gcc-3.4 -lstdc++ main.cpp
./a.out
hello C++
