ALWAYS CREATE A BACKUP BEFORE TINKERING WITH YOUR N900

ON-Device - Getting Started

WARNING: Accoring to this post, installing packages from the SDK repository to your device might cripple the root fs and force you to reflash it. Anyway, the maemo scratchbox environment is awful and for small builds it is more convient to build directly on the device. Packages mentoned in this guide don't seem to cause serious problem.

Add extras, tools and sdk to /etc/apt/sources.list

#Extras
deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras/ fremantle free non-free
deb-src http://repository.maemo.org/extras/ fremantle free

# TOOLS
deb http://repository.maemo.org/ fremantle/tools free
deb-src http://repository.maemo.org/ fremantle/tools free

# SDK
deb http://repository.maemo.org/ fremantle/sdk free
deb-src http://repository.maemo.org/ fremantle/sdk free


Install build tools

apt-get install bzip2 cpio cpp dpkg-dev g++ g++-4.2 gcc libc6-dev libstdc++6-4.2-dev \
libstdc++6-4.2-dbg patch perl perl-modules autoconf automake1.9 libtool flex bison gdb

On default setups it will fail because of apt-get saving temporary files on the root partition.

Just clean the apt cache (

apt-get clean

) and repeat the above command.


You might want to install kernel headers:

apt-get install linux-kernel-headers
