Maemo Code Camp 2010 - Getting started

On maemo codecamp the programming will happen for Nokia N900 mobile phone running on Maemo operating system. The application development will happen using ESbox - an IDE based on Eclipse, which uses Scratchbox cross-compilation toolkit to compile the programs to desired targets, such as N900.

If you want to do the coding using your own computer, you need to install the following: (Check out the installation instructions for Maemo 5 SDK and Esbox) - Also check the supported operating systems for Esbox from the installation instructions - it has some problems with 64 bit operating systems.

• Xephyr X11 server
• Maemo 5 SDK (icludes Scratchbox 1)
• Nokia proprietary binary packages inside scratchbox
• Esbox

The Esbox also has tools for installing everything else needed, so you don't need to install everything separately. See: File - New - Other - Maemo installers
