Collaborans are interested in building E10s on a machine on which Scratchbox is also installed, on which the Maemo SDK can be installed, and on which one can cross-compile to the ARM architecture.

One way to obtain the desired build environment is to obtain a virtual machine image that is properly configured. I (robin_bb) have created such an image. It was current in August 2009.

This needs more explanation and instructions:

== Installing Maemo ==
In order to use that image, you'll need the [http://www.xen.org/ Xen virtual machine] correctly installed and setup on your box.


== Building E10s ==
== Installing Scratchbox  ==
 
In order to build [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Build_Documentation firefox], [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Build fennec] or [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Content_Processes/Build e10s] (electrolysis) for the maemo platform on the N810, N900 (rover) or Devlon-2, you have to cross-compile the mozilla codebase for the ARM processor.
 
For that, you need [http://www.scratchbox.org/download/ Scratchbox Apophis].<br>
 
<br>
 
== Installing Maemo SDK<br> ==
 
As a Collabora developer, you might be targetting a specific maemo platform version.
