installation steps for N810 dev environment maemo

This information can be found at http://maemo.org/.

MAEMO - software dev. environment for the nokia internet tablet which runs a Linux-based operating system on ARM architecture. Basically these are cross-compilation tools that run on a PC environment (Ubuntu or Debian).

1. Install Debian on a spare computer
http://www.debian.org/

2. Install scratchbox as root using script from http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/4.0.1 (seems latest stable version is 4.0.1)
chmod a+x ./maemo-scratchbox-install_4.0.1.sh
./maemo-scratchbox-install_4.0.1.sh

create user account for scratchbox

3. Install SDK (I used debug + complete environment) using non-root account
./maemo-sdk-install_4.0.1.sh

4. Install Nokia binaries if not already done

5. Install Xephyr as root by running at terminal
apt-get install xserver-xephyr

DONE.
