This article describes how to compile KDEPIM for maemo. It takes the Nokia N810 as example device. It uses the cross-compiling environment scratchbox on an Intel-based computer.
ssh root@localhost apt-get install subversion
You cannot install scratchbox on an X64 computer, so, install an i386 into a VMWare virtual machine. This example uses SUSE 11, but it might work on other distributions as well. The following describes how to install scratchbox into that SUSE 11 32bit installation.
First, we want to compile a "hello world" program for the Nokia. Here is how.
root@i386 # useradd -m scratchboxuser root@i386 # wget http://repository.maemo.org/stable/diablo/maemo-scratchbox-install_4.1.2.sh root@i386 # chmod 777 maemo-scratchbox-install_4.1.2.sh root@i386 # ./maemo-scratchbox-install_4.1.2.sh -s /scratchbox root@i386 # /scratchbox/sbin/sbox_adduser myuser root@i386 # su - scratchboxuser
myuser@i386 $ wget http://repository.maemo.org/stable/diablo/maemo-sdk-install_4.1.sh
Start the install script and accept all choices:
myuser@i386 $ sh maemo-sdk-install_4.1.sh
myuser@i386 $ /scratchbox/login [sbox-DIABLO_ARMEL: ~] > sb-conf select DIABLO_ARMEL [sbox-DIABLO_ARMEL: ~] > cat > main.c << EOF #include <stdio.h> int main() { printf("hello world"); } EOF [sbox-DIABLO_ARMEL: ~] > gcc main.c [sbox-DIABLO_ARMEL: ~] > file a.out a.out: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.6.8, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped
=> the file is executable on the Nokia
To re-login after a reboot of your virtual machine run
/scratchbox/sbin/sbox_ctl start /scratchbox/login

Here you can get to run singular applications, e.g. ktimetracker.

FATAL: kernel too old
This happened for me with SLES 10. Better use SUSE 10.3 or SUSE 11.
On SLES 10, I got
Processing was halted because there were too many errors. E: Sub-process /scratchbox/devkits/debian-etch/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) E: Unable to install maemo-sdk-dev on DIABLO_ARMEL target. E: Please check the sources.list for errors. E: Scratchbox login returned error 100.
In this case, change your distribution and start again.
Should you get

Increase the amount of memory for the virtual machine, 512MB is not always enough.
