Note: The Windows SDK landing page is here: SDK/MeeGo SDK for Windows. That includes the installer and support for Windows XP and Win 7 (32-bit). It is also based on QEMU VM (not VirtualBox)

Contents

Note

QEMU will not work within a VM.

Prerequisites

  1. VirtualBox
  2. A Linux distro of your choice, here I've used Xubuntu.

How To

VirtualBox

  1. Download and install virtualbox from: VirtualBox Downloads
  2. After it's installed, open it up and create a new virtual machine by pressing New and following the wizard.
  3. When you've created the machine, you can choose it from the list and press Settings, go down to System then Processor and enable PAE/NX.
  4. Also, go down to Display and enable 3D Acceleration.
  5. Last part, go down to Storage and choose the image-file for your Linux distro.
  6. After this is done, boot up the virtual machine and install the Linux distro.

Linux Distro

When the distro has been installed, it is time to have the VirtualBox Guest Additions compiled and installed.

  1. In the window your virtual machine is running in, choose Devices and then Install Guest Additions. In *ubuntu, it should now show a cd-rom on the desktop, double-click it to mount.
  2. Go to a terminal (CTRL + ALT + F1 for example) and do the following:
    sudo apt-get install dkms gcc
    (This will install everything needed to build the guest additions, replace with the command needed for your distro, the path on a *ubuntu machine is most likely.) 
  3. sudo ./path/to/cdrom/VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run
    (In *ubuntu the path will most likely be "/media/VBOXADDITIONSsomethingsometime") When the additions are installed, you can restart the virtual machine by issuing sudo reboot in the terminal.

MeeGo SDK

When everything above is done, you can go to: SDK/Docs/1.0/Getting started with the MeeGo SDK for Linux and follow the guidelines there.
