HOW TO GET STARTED WITH PYTHON-MAEMO DEVELOPMENT

All of the machines are running image of Maemo development environment. It has Maemo SDK installed, which means emulator and Esbox (a customized version of Eclipse). With these two tools it is possible to “easily” create python -based programs for the Nokia n900.

First, open the Esbox on your desktop

After this, the Esbox will start and ask you for the workspace path. Please, keep the suggested one, as this one works with the emulator. If you change this, there is a probability of NOT GETTING THE EMULATOR TO WORK!

After this, select File→New Python Maemo Project

Now you should see the following picture:

Select the name monster Maemo Python Hildon Hello World Project and then select next

Now you are in the project configuration window. This is probably the most important window here and you will return here to play with this one later in the future. For now, use the suggested project name.

Select all the boxes, so you will have all the options working (scratchbox, X86 and ARMEL) AND DOUBLE CLICK THE X86 SO IT BECOMES HIGHLIGHTED AS BOLD TEXT
