Just to clarify: The complete source code is not available as Maemo is not 100% open source but maybe 80% (according to Nokia). For your interest, reasons for components not being open source are listed here: http://wiki.maemo.org/Why_the_closed_packages You will not get full functionality without these closed source parts. Mer (http://wiki.maemo.org/Mer) might be an interesting alternative here. andre -- Andre Klapper (maemo.org bugmaster) ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
Willing to Compile Maemo source
greetings; I am trying to get the entire source code of Maemo 5 and try to compile it to generate a complete image out of it. But I have some questions to start with: 1. where can I get the complete source code ? in other words: is the source code in the repository : http://maemo.gitorious.org/ THE COMPLETE source code (including all tools and the kernel) ? If not, is where can i get the missing sources (sources not in maemo.gitorious.org if any exist ) ?? 2. Any instructions to build the complete source code ?? Any Documentation ?? 3. I've heard that there are parts of Maemo closed source (made by nokia) that I can't download and build . Can I have a complete/running Maemo system without them (can compiling only the open source components create a running system image) ? 4. Anyway to test my output image (If it can be built) in the emulator/ phone ?? 5. Any further advice/note to add ??? thanks alot in advance ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
