Install maemo diablo development framework on your debian

• As root:

wget http://repository.maemo.org/stable/diablo/maemo-scratchbox-install_4.1.sh
echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/vdso_enabled
./maemo-scratchbox-install_4.1.sh 
/scratchbox/sbin/sbox_adduser marc yes

• as user

wget http://repository.maemo.org/stable/diablo/maemo-sdk-install_4.1.sh
./maemo-sdk-install_4.1.sh 

• to enter scratchbox:

/scratchbox/login

• outside scratchbox

apt-get install xserver-xephyr
Xephyr :2 -host-cursor -screen 800x480x16 -dpi 96 -ac -extension Composite

• in scratchbox launch hildon application framework inside xephyr

export DISPLAY=:2
af-sb-init.sh start

Start porting!

Note that all the instructions provided below are for building from scratch the native armel packages under scratchbox compilation framework/

ports available:

• mutt armel deb package: yes I am found of this text email client and can't live without it!
• cyrus-sasl deb package: library used by the above mutt version
• octave deb package: octave is my scientific calculator

mutt port

• first generate cyrus-sasl package if you need sasl: mutt dependence

export DEBFULLNAME="Marc de Courville"
wget ftp://ftp.andrew.cmu.edu/pub/cyrus-mail/cyrus-sasl-2.1.22.tar.gz
tar zxvf cyrus-sasl-2.1.22.tar.gz 
cd cyrus-sasl-2.1.22
dh_make -e marc@courville.org -f ../cyrus-sasl-2.1.22.tar.gz 
cd debian/
vi changelog compat control copyright rules 
cd ..
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b
cd ..
dpkg -i cyrus-sasl_2.1.22-1_armel.deb 

• generate mutt package by customizing debian/rules file adding --enable-smtp --enable-imap --enable-pop --with-ssl=/usr/include/openssl --with-sasl=/usr/include/sasl to ./configure options

wget ftp://ftp.mutt.org/mutt/devel/mutt-1.5.18.tar.gz
tar zxvf mutt-1.5.18.tar.gz 
cd mutt-1.5.18
dh_make -e marc@courville.org -f ../mutt-1.5.18.tar.gz

dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b
cd ..

• on the n810: (you need to have naemo extra-devel repository installed see http://www.gronmayer.com/it/)

apt-get install libncursesw5

octave port

• install f2c and f77 compiler script on scratchbox retreived from http://netlib.sandia.gov/f2c/

export DEBFULLNAME="Marc de Courville"
wget https://computation.llnl.gov/casc/Overture/henshaw/software/f2c.tar.gz
tar zxvf f2c.tar.gz
cd f2c
cd src
cp makefile.u Makefile
make
cp f2c /usr/bin
cd ..
unzip libf2c.zip
cd libf2c
cp makefile.u Makefile
make
cp libf2c.a /usr/lib
cp f2c.h /usr/include/
cd ../..
wget http://modular.math.washington.edu/home/was/s/lib64/R/bin/f77_f2c
chmod a+rx f77_f2c
cp f77_f2c /usr/bin

• install readline librairies

apt-get install libreadline4 libreadline4-dev

• get octave to compile by modifying debian/rules file prefixing ./configure by a F77=/usr/bin/f77_f2c ./configure and also add this line afer ./configure in debian/rules since makeinfo is not available and we want to avoid the error when removing uncreated files sed -i -e "s:rm -f INSTALL:cp ../../INSTALL.OCTAVE ./INSTALL:g" -e "s:rm -f BUGS:cp ../../BUGS ./BUGS:g" doc/interpreter/Makefile

wget ftp://ftp.octave.org/pub/octave/octave-3.0.2.tar.gz
tar zxvf octave-3.0.2.tar.gz
cd octave-3.0.2
dh_make -e marc@courville.org -f ../octave-3.0.2.tar.gz

gnuplot

I failed to compile gnuplot because of an internal arm gcc compiler error. To my knowledge there is no known solution with the current toolchain used in scratchbox.

matrix.c: In function `lu_decomp':
matrix.c:328: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault
