New page

'''Create correct .deb package for N9'''
'''on your linux PC'''
(and you can use it for OBS)

Read some info:
* [http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/docs/library/html/guide/html/Developer_Library_Alternative_development_environments_Platform_SDK_user_guide_Installing_Harmattan_Platform_SDK.html Installing Harmattan Platform SDK]
* [http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/docs/library/html/guide/html/Developer_Library_Alternative_development_environments_Platform_SDK_user_guide_Using_Harmattan_Platform_SDK.html Using Harmattan Platform SDK]
* [http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/docs/library/html/guide/html/Developer_Library_Alternative_development_environments_Platform_SDK_user_guide_Packaging_your_application_with_Harmattan_Platform_SDK.html Packaging your application with Harmattan Platform SDK]

1. Download [http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/platform-sdk/ Harmattan Platform SDK installer] ([http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/stable/harmattan/harmattan-sdk-setup.py direct link])
2. Install it (scratchbox) on your Linux PC. To provide executable permission to the script, enter the following command:

'''$ chmod +x harmattan-sdk-setup.py'''

3. To run the script with root permission, enter the following command:

'''$ sudo ./harmattan-sdk-setup.py admininstall'''
* Installation process can take a few hours…

4. When Scratchbox installed, REBOOT your PC and go to:

'''/scratchbox/users/YOUR_NAME/home/YOUR_NAME'''

5. Create here a folder for your package, for example my: '''n9-qtweakall''' Open this folder.

Example:

'''/scratchbox/users/schturman/home/schturman/n9-qtweakall'''

Download this package: [http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17706605/Create_correct_DEB_file_on_Ubuntu.zip Create_correct_DEB_file_on_Ubuntu.zip] and extract it (debian folder) to your package folder:

'''/scratchbox/users/schturman/home/schturman/n9-qtweakall'''

6. Go to:
'''/scratchbox/users/schturman/home/schturman/n9-qtweakall/debian/data'''

and delete file named: '''copy_folders_here_and_delete_this_file'''

7. Copy your folders here, for example '''/opt/your_app_name''' etc…

8. Go back to '''/debian''' folder. You can see a few files that you need to edit before each packaging. Just open them with editor and edit like your need…

9. Open terminal and write: '''scratchbox''' , then press enter

10. You will see this message:

'''Welcome to Scratchbox, the cross-compilation toolkit!

'''Use 'sb-menu' to change your compilation target.

'''See /scratchbox/doc/ for documentation.'''

'''[sbox-HARMATTAN_X86: ~] >'''

11. To change the target architecture to ARMEL, enter the following command:

'''sb-conf se HARMATTAN_ARMEL'''

And now you will see: '''[sbox-HARMATTAN_ARMEL: ~] >'''

12. Now you can package your application:

* Go to your package folder:

'''cd /home/schturman/n9-qtweakall'''

and you will see:

'''[sbox-HARMATTAN_ARMEL: ~/n9-qtweakall] >'''

* For packaging write:

'''dpkg-buildpackage'''

13. When packaging is finished you again will see this line:

'''[sbox-HARMATTAN_ARMEL: ~/n9-qtweakall] >'''

14. For EXIT from scratchbox, just write: '''exit''' , then press enter.

15. You will find the packaged files in:

'''/scratchbox/users/YOUR_NAME/home/YOUR_NAME'''

16. You will see 4 files:

* '''.deb''' , '''.changes''' , '''.tar.gz''' , '''.dsc'''

17. The 3 last files you can use on OBS (apps.formeego.org)

I used Ubuntu like second OS on my old netbook (Acer Aspire ONE). Sorry for my bad English :)

Big thanks to CODeRUS for files and help!
