It is a document generation tool. We can use this package to generate which type of documents? It provides some documentation generation tools that are needed in building the source packages included into the SDK. Other open source software may also require these (common) documentation tools for their built to succeed. But in most cases you can disable document building if you want to though. Building docs can take a long time (I think it's about half of Gtk package build time). 3) What is the use of scratchbox-devkit-cputransp-1.0.7-i386.tar.gz package? CPU Transparency refers what? Being able to run ARM binaries on your x86 Desktop Maemo development environment. By default GNU autotools (used to configure build most of open source) configures the software for the environment where the code is built. Configuring tests the build environment by building and running small test binaries. When you're cross-compiling in the ARM Scratchbox target on your x86 host, the produced binaries can run only on (real or emulated) ARM CPU. Qemu CPU transparency method allows these ARM binaries to be run (transparently) on the qemu user-space emulator and sbrsh method[1] would run them on a separate ARM machine. transparently meaning that the program or script running the ARM binary doesn't notice that it was for another CPU architecture, it behaves like a native one. [1] Sbrsh is much harder to setup as you need real ARM machine on your network and NFS export between it and your desktop, but it's sometimes useful. It's not technically possible for Qemu user-space emulation to emulate everything. In practice this problem should be very rare and concern only certain threaded programs used in building documentation (which can be resolved by disabling documentation building[2]). [2] IMHO software should always have a separate build target for documentation, it's shouldn't be built by default. You need new docs only when your API changes and you do a new release, so re-generating it usually just wastes developer time. 4) What is the use of Nokia EUSA licensed binary packages package? It contains binaries (I think mainly applications) from the device which Nokia hasn't open sourced (at least yet) and which developers might want to have present when testing their own software in the SDK. 5) In the above query, EUSA refers what? To the license. It has many additional limitations compared to Open Source licenses. 6) What is the use of maemo-sdk-rootstrap_4.1.2_i386.tgz package? 7) In the above query, what is meant by rootstrap? Rootstrap is a root file system corresponding to a set of software that you have on the device. It's used to bootstrap your development environment for given Maemo operating system version and CPU architecture. You cannot install a distribution from scratch, it needs to be bootstrapped with things needed for installing additional packages to the distribution (same as on Debian Ubuntu). Minimal rootstrap include only essential things like package management, sdk-rootstrap includes also pre-installed development packages. 8) In Xephyr command: -ac, -extension, Composite options refers what? X server XComposite extension provides window content update redirection (to a pixmap that can be used e.g. as a texture in OpenGL operations) feature. This is used by so called composite manager (often part of window manager) which redirects the top level application window content to window backbuffers and then composites these window content (textures) to the screen using different OpenGL transformations. To know more, read documentation at freedesktop.org and your Linux distribution Composite manager (KDE v4 kwin, Gnome metacity, Beryl, Compiz...) source code. - Eero ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

For now it does (well, try to) email, calendar, bookmarks, contacts and mere file synchronization. Later it could do realtime communication (VoIP) as well. It's very very alpha pre production etc, absolutely not suitable for any serious use, and still far from any release date. But I harldy need tests, advices and criticisms. How does it relate to Telepathy, Conduit and OpenSync; if at all? So if you are interrested by unified communication and/or cloud computing (sorry for so many buzwords), curious or just plain masochist, and are able to ssh you way through your tablet's file system, please drop me a note.

Native gcc for development on N810
Hi there, I want to install a gcc toolchain directly on the N810. Unfortunately, I didn't find one. It seems, that there _was_ a toolchain, at least for chinook. See here: http://www.thisismobility.com/blog/2008/02/08/native-gcc-on-the-n810/ I searched through all the repositories mentioned. But I didn't find anything.

Re: Native gcc for development on N810
Hi, I don't know what you want to do, but if you want to compile applications directly on N810 an alternative is installing Debian within VNCviewer http://physik.de/770 has an alpha one click installer. Debian comes with full gcc and by the way you can use nearly all other applications without loosing the Maemo applications:-) I did not try, but I think you could use anjuta as a graphical development environment. At least it is marked as functional on armel. Detlef Am Samstag, den 17.01.2009, 00:25 +0100 schrieb Klaus Rotter: Hi there, I want to install a gcc toolchain directly on the N810.
