[edit] Introduction

This is a TECHNOLOGY PREVIEW of a new development tool for Maemo. MADDE stands for Maemo Application Development and Debugging Environment and offers the following features:

  • Command-line cross-compiling
  • Multi-platform support (Linux (32-bit/64-bit), Windows, Mac OS X)
  • Configurable for different targets & toolchains
  • Client for the device to simplify the development process
  • Simplicity

Latest TECHNOLOGY PREVIEW is version 0.7.48, published 2010-10-21.

You are welcome to test the tool in your development process. But keep in mind that this is a technology preview. We highly appreciate your feedback in talk, the maemo-developers mailing list and especially in bugzilla (Developer Platform -> MADDE).

[edit] MADDE and Nokia Qt SDK (Release Candidate)

The newest version of MADDE is part of the release candidate of the Nokia Qt SDK. This means that you can install QtCreator and MADDE with one single file for Windows and Linux. This page serves to explain in more detail how to use MADDE as a single component, or to link your QtCreator installation, with MADDE. If you are staring with the Qt development, it is recommended to use the Nokia Qt SDK, which makes some manual installation steps obsolete.

Nokia Qt SDK (Release Candidate)

In the latest version of the Nokia Qt SDK (1.0.1) setting up a N900 Emulator likely won't work, so I recommend using the newest stand-alone version of MADDE
