I’m working with Mamona. The full build takes around 5 hours. It’s good excuse, is not it?

See you!

I’m waiting the opportunity to put my hands on a Beagleboard and test many things.

My TODO list include Mamona test with BeagleBoard.

Mamona and BeagleBoard: When? 

I have a N810 and 3 OS in the same device.

Now you will ask me : How?

The answer is below:

1 - Move your Maemo to the MMC internal

* Advantage : you will have more space.

Steps:  http://maemo.org/community/wiki/HowTo_EASILY_Boot_From_MMC_card/

Now you have the Maemo in the internal MMC.

2 -  Flash Mamona in your flash memory

* Advantage: Nowadays Mamona distro is good for developers.

Steps:  http://dev.openbossa.org/trac/mamona/wiki/Releases/0.1/RunningMamona

3 - Debian XFCE in external MMC

* Advantage:  Debian rocks !!

You should partition your MicroSD in 2 parts:

- partition 1 - 100MB - fat32

- partition 2 - ALL THE REST - ext2

Download the Debian rootfs

wget  http://debian.i2c3.com/debian-armel-n800-xfce-beta3.tar.bz2

Untar the Debian rootfs in the second partition:

tar -xvjf  debian-armel-n800-xfce-beta3.tar.bz2

Boot using your external MMC.

That’s all!!

Hello guys,

Hi all,

I’m following the Mamona development tutorial(http://dev.openbossa.org/trac/mamona/wiki/MamonaSetup) to study and during the build I got the error below:

alecrim@alecrim ~/mamona/tmp/master/nokia800/work/gettext-native-0.14.1-r7/gettext-0.14.1/gettext-runtime/intl-java $ /bin/sh ../lib/javacomp.sh -d . ./gnu/gettext/GettextResource.java
———-
1. ERROR in ./gnu/gettext/GettextResource.java (at line 1)
/* GNU gettext for Java
^
The type java.lang.Object cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files
———-
2. ERROR in ./gnu/gettext/GettextResource.java (at line 1)
/* GNU gettext for Java
^

…

Mamona build with should use its own java but it’s getting the host java. The ubuntu machines do not have this problem. It’s online for Debian without java.

I can solve it installing Java under Debian(host machine).
