Introduction

The MeeGo SDK for Linux includes the following in a single download image:

  • A MeeGo QEMU virtual environment, which boots the MeeGo OS in a virtual machine and shows the UI in a window on your Linux workstation
  • A MeeGo chroot (change-root) environment, based on Xephyr (http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/Xephyr), with some scripts to start/stop a MeeGo desktop inside Xephyr, and Qt Creator, which can be configured to deploy to remote MeeGo devices

For information on these debugging environments, see MeeGo SDK options. For problems with any of these steps, see the Troubleshooting page.

Pre-requisites

To use the MeeGo SDK, you should be running a reasonably modern Linux distribution (such as Fedora 13, Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, openSUSE 11.3) on reasonably modern hardware, such as:

  • CPU: 32bit Intel Atom or Intel Core 2 CPU

In addition:

  • QEMU requires that your system have Virtualization (VT) support for graphics acceleration. Check the Graphics Acceleration page to ensure your system is capable.
  • Xephyr requires that your system have an Intel graphics chipset.
