PatrickBatmanhi! I'm looking for a good place to start to work with the Easy Debian application on maemo. is this a good place?18:04
SpeedEvilWell - the touchscreen might be a good starting point.18:05
SpeedEvilWhat do you mean?18:05
*** StippenG has quit IRC18:06
PatrickBatmanhey, thanks for a sarcastic reply!18:06
PatrickBatmanI'm looking to remaster my own debian image18:06
SpeedEvilSorry - bt your question is rather vague18:06
PatrickBatmanchroot style18:06
SpeedEvilWhat's the problem?18:06
PatrickBatmanthe one that I downloaded had a bunch of broken deps due to the author installing openoffice.org18:06
SpeedEvilYou mean you want to compile everthing?18:06
SpeedEvilOr you want to ...18:07
PatrickBatmanno, I want to start with a base system and build it up from there18:07
PatrickBatmanI don't care about openoffice.org18:07
PatrickBatmanthe end goal is to get ruby installed18:07
SpeedEvilFirst thing you need to get a toolchain up and building stuff.18:07
PatrickBatmanwhich requires a compiler for some native extensions18:07
SpeedEvili suspect ##debian is actually going to be more appropriate18:07
SpeedEvilmaybe they can point you to how ARM images are typically built18:07
SpeedEvilAs this isn't a n900 question really.18:08
PatrickBatmancool, but you're saying that I can use the Maemo SDK as the environment to work in and that should copy to the N900 and run if I do it right?18:08
SpeedEvilThe only n900 bits are really to get it to display properly - which are 'normal' X commands18:08
SpeedEvilI'm unsure that the SDK environ is setup as the debian compile scripts would expect.18:09
SpeedEvilOne option might be to get build-essentials installed, and go from there.18:09
SpeedEvilBut that may be a silly option.18:10
PatrickBatmanha! just tried that.18:10
PatrickBatmannot so good18:10
SpeedEvilI've not managed to get build essentials setup.18:10
PatrickBatmanbroke some deps18:10
SpeedEvilIt seemed to want to swap out libc for a different version18:10
SpeedEvilOr that's how I was reading it - it's my first encounter with aptitude18:10
SpeedEvilWhich diddn't go well.18:10
PatrickBatmanyup. dude who made the chroot installed his own backported version to get openoffice.org 3 compiled18:10
PatrickBatmanlesson #1 never backport libc618:11
PatrickBatmanthough I'm thinking I might be able to get away with upgrading to squeeze18:11
PatrickBatmanI have a lot of debian experience but this is my first maemo device  :)18:12
SpeedEvilGreat!18:13
SpeedEvilI thought I was doing something stupid.18:13
SpeedEvilHave you tried contacting the author, and asking how he built it?18:14
PatrickBatmannot yet. I hoped he might be here.18:14
PatrickBatmanbut that's the next step18:14
PatrickBatmanthanks for your help18:16
PatrickBatmannew software communities are always a bit intimidating at first18:16
SpeedEvilNot heard of him - either here - or on #maemo18:16
SpeedEvil:)18:16
SpeedEvilThis channel tends to be low-traffic18:16
PatrickBatmanespecially weird ones made by global corporations like Nokia18:16
SpeedEvilWhat're you hoping to do?18:16
SpeedEvilWell18:16
SpeedEvilIn many ways this isn't that.18:16
*** VDVsx has joined #maemo-devel18:17
SpeedEvil#maemo existed more-or-less independantly of nokia for a while18:17
*** silbo_ has quit IRC18:19
PatrickBatmanoh? I didn't know that.18:25
PatrickBatmanmy hopes are to install ruby and some binaries that I use for development18:25
PatrickBatmanas well as some audio software I use on the desktop18:26
SpeedEvilOr rather - there has been a history of community not always towing the nokia line.18:26
PatrickBatmanbasically to make the N900 my portable computer and my laptop a desktop  :)18:26
SpeedEvilA nice simple debian image with a compiler would be very nice.18:26
SpeedEvilFor many people.18:26
PatrickBatmanfor sure18:26
PatrickBatmanI launched openoffice.org draw and it was sooooo dumb18:27
PatrickBatmanthe buttons alone take up 2/3 of the screen18:27
SpeedEvilyes18:28
SpeedEvilThough actually - _properly_ done - it could be interesting.18:28
SpeedEvilFor example - imagine a desktop window that scrolled on flick18:28
SpeedEviland the zoom buttons work18:28
PatrickBatmanpossibly. I'm more interested in things like ereaders and web applications18:29
PatrickBatmanhaving firefox available is really awesome18:29
SpeedEvilfbreader works well for me18:29
SpeedEvilI want firefox 1.518:29
SpeedEvilIt worked well in a similar ram environment on my PII/30018:29
SpeedEvilOne major issue with a chroot is that you have two sets of libraries mmaped all the time. So memory use is even more important.18:30
PatrickBatmangood point18:30
SpeedEvilLook at the PSS or USS of some of the maemo stuff.18:30
SpeedEvilIt's really quite good in many cases18:30
SpeedEvilIn some - not - worldclock for example18:31
PatrickBatmanouch! freemantle SDK is not nice to my disk layout18:41
PatrickBatmanputs many gigs in directories on /18:42

thecoolman4m-qt4hey guys... I've got some question about maemo-qt developement...23:37
thecoolman4m-qt4actually I think it is pretty simple...all I want to do is to develope in Version 4.5.2, because it is the currently stable one for maemo... but the thing is... all SDKs I get are either not for maemo or 4.6.2... I developed with QT before but only for a desktop environment...23:37
thecoolman4m-qt4what I already tried to do was downloading the complete SDK for Ubuntu (4.6.2), for Windows (4.5.2, 4.6.1 and 4.6.2) but I'm not sure if I can usw the libraries fo the 4.5.2 version for maemo just like I use them for desktops.. -.-23:37
thecoolman4m-qt4someone willing to help me? I googled my *** off last night trying to find a solution...23:38
