==set up scratchbox==
#REDIRECT [[Mobile/Build/cs2007q3]]
 
These instructions are for setting 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.
 
The maemo SDK is based around a tool called scratchbox.  This essentially let's you pretend you're not cross compiling.  To set it up, Nokia has written a very useful script called maemo-scratchbox-install.
 
=== Debian-based Linux distributions ===
Scratchbox will be installed per default from Debian .deb packages, to default path /scratchbox.
 
<code><pre>
wget http://repository.maemo.org/stable/chinook/maemo-scratchbox-install_4.0.sh
sudo chmod a+x ./maemo-scratchbox-install_4.0.sh
sudo ./maemo-scratchbox-install_4.0.sh
sudo /scratchbox/sbin/sbox_adduser <your_user_name> yes
</pre>
</code>
 
=== Other Linux distributions ===
On any other Linux distribution, the install will use .tar.gz files and you will have to specify the desired destination directory.
 
<code><pre>
wget http://repository.maemo.org/stable/chinook/maemo-scratchbox-install_4.0.sh
sudo chmod a+x ./maemo-scratchbox-install_4.0.sh
sudo ./maemo-scratchbox-install_4.0.sh  -s /scratchbox
sudo /scratchbox/sbin/sbox_adduser <your_user_name> yes
</pre>
</code>
 
==set up maemo chinook sdk==
 
'''[Note: Maemo bora is seemed incompatible because the file gtk+-unix-print-2.0.pc seems missing in Bora.]'''
 
Once you have set up scratchbox, you will need to install the maemo tool chain.  Again, Nokia has provided a very useful script to install this for you.  Simply accept the defaults and type "I accept" at the appropriate time.
 
 
'''Note:''' If you would like to debug your code, you should select the 4th option on the "Package Selection" menu.  You will also want to install "Closed Nokia Binaries"
<br>
'''Note:''' you need to create a new login shell so your user is in the sbox group.  you can just log  out and log back in (that means log out of your machine -- creating a new terminal window will NOT work)
<code><pre>
wget http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/4.0/maemo-sdk-install_4.0.sh
chmod +x maemo-sdk-install_4.0.sh
bash maemo-sdk-install_4.0.sh
 
</pre></code>
 
and to select the x86 target, run:
<code><pre>
echo "sb-conf select CHINOOK_X86"  | scratchbox  -s -p
</pre></code>
or for the ARMEL target, run:
<code><pre>
echo "sb-conf select CHINOOK_ARMEL" | scratchbox  -s -p
</pre></code>
 
 
'''Note:' if you see this:
 
sb-conf: You must close your other Scratchbox sessions first
 
You should:
 
run sb-menu
 
go to killall
 
and send a 9
 
==Build libIDL==
 
The the maemo SDK comes with just about everything required to build mozilla.  The one thing that is missing is libIDL.  The simplest thing to do is build it, run these commands in the scratchbox prompt:
 
<code><pre>
sb-conf se CHINOOK_X86  # because the release still cannot run on ARMEL
wget http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/libIDL/0.8/libIDL-0.8.9.tar.gz
tar -xzvf libIDL-0.8.9.tar.gz
cd libIDL-0.8.9
./configure
make
fakeroot make install
cd ..
</pre></code>
 
==Build the the trunk (mozilla 1.9)==
 
Finally, you are ready to build. Run these commands at the scratchbox prompt.
 
<code><pre>
sb-conf se CHINOOK_X86
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig/:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/
mkdir moz1.9
cd moz1.9/
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs-mirror.mozilla.org/cvsroot co mozilla/client.mk mozilla/browser/config
cd mozilla/
cp browser/config/mozconfig .
echo "mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=@TOPSRCDIR@/obj-dir-browser-chinook-armel" >> mozconfig
echo "ac_add_options --disable-tests" >> mozconfig
make -f client.mk pull_all
make -f client.mk build_all
</pre></code>
 
==Run It!==
 
To run your build in scratchbox, you'll need to install xephyr from your host machine.  Fortunately if you are on a Debian based system (such as Ubuntu), this couldn't be easier. Just run, from your host machine:
 
<code><pre>sudo apt-get install xserver-xephyr</pre></code>
 
To start the xephyr server, run the following from the host machine:
 
<code><pre>Xephyr :2 -host-cursor -screen 800x480x16 -dpi 96 -ac -extension Composite</pre></code>
 
once the xephyr xserver is running, you can launch your build from within scratchbox:
 
<code><pre>
$ scratchbox
[sbox-CHINOOK_X86:~] > sb-conf select CHINOOK_X86
[sbox-CHINOOK_X86:~] > export DISPLAY=:2
[sbox-CHINOOK_X86:~] > af-sb-init.sh start
[sbox-CHINOOK_X86:~] > cd moz1.9/mozilla/obj-dir-browser-chinook-armel/dist/bin
[sbox-CHINOOK_X86:~] > GRE_HOME=. ./run-mozilla.sh ./TestGtkEmbed # this is not yet runnable
or
 
[sbox-CHINOOK_X86:~] > GRE_HOME=. ./run-mozilla.sh ./firefox
</pre></code>
 
==Convenient scripts (This script is NOT UP TO DATE)==
 
The following scripts can help speed up the process.  You don't even have to start the scratch box shell if you run them with the following commands:
 
<code><pre>
cat buildlibIDL.sh | scratchbox -s -p
cat buildmoz19.sh | scratchbox -s -p
 
</pre></code>
 
[http://people.mozilla.org/~blassey/buildlibIDL.sh buildlibIDL.sh]
 
[http://people.mozilla.org/~blassey/buildmoz19.sh buildmoz19.sh]
 
==VMWare Image==
Alternatively, you can download this VMWare image which has already been set up to build mozilla for maemo.
