The maemo SDK is based around a tool called scratchbox. Scratchbox is a sandboxed emulator that you run on a fast development machine to configure, compile and run (test) the binaries that are to be installed on a target mobile device. It eliminates a lot of the difficulties associated with traditional cross compilation by essentially letting you pretend you're not cross compiling. To set it up, Nokia has written a very useful script called maemo-scratchbox-install. | |||
These instructions are for setting up a new scratchbox installation. If you have an existing (i.e. 3.2/bora) scratchbox installation, you'll have to set an alternate path for the installation. | |||

Replace $USER with an explicit user name if you want to create a scratchbox login for a user other than the current user. | |||
