Building Orbiter for the Nokia 770

These are the instructions to build a version of Orbiter for the Nokia 770 internet platform. Nokia 770 has an ARM family processor, therefore you will need to cross-compile if your build machine is an Intel.

You will need:

• a Debian Sarge box to host the build
• the Maemo 1.1 SDK for ARM ( http://repository.maemo.org/stable/1.1/arm/Maemo_Dev_Platform_RS_v1.1_arm.tgz )
• Scratchbox 0.9.8.5 (http://www.scratchbox.org/download/files/sbox-releases/0.9.8/deb/ )

 scratchbox-core_0.9.8.5_i386.deb                              
 scratchbox-devkit-debian_0.9.8.5_i386.deb                     
 scratchbox-doctools_0.9.8.5_i386.deb                          
 scratchbox-libs_0.9.8.5_i386.deb                              
 scratchbox-toolchain-arm-glibc_0.9.8.5_i386.deb               
 scratchbox-toolchain-i686-glibc_0.9.8.5_i386.deb              

Steps to build:

1. Install Scratchbox debs
2. Add yourself as a Scratchbox user: /scratchbox/sbin/sbox_adduser username
3. Copy or symlink the Maemo SDK into /scratchbox/packages
4. Login to Scratchbox by typing scratchbox
5. Update the package list inside Scratchbox by typing apt-get update
6. Install the following build-time dependencies (with apt-get install)
   • libmysqlclient12-dev
   • libid3-dev
   • xlibmesa-gl-dev
