maemo sdk seems to come with a cdbs, debhelper and dpkg-dev too old to make it easy to build several debian unstable packages like kde4.
maemo seems to come with glibc2.5 and debian/armel kde4 packages depends on 2.7 or greater.
trying to build a newer dpkg in maemo environment requires several perl modules not available – and when buildling those, a circular build dependency is quickly reached.
So – dear lazyweb, what does smart man do now?
Hi,
Why don’t you guys try mamona ? it can help a lot with these old stuff from scratchbox: http://dev.openbossa.org/trac/mamona/
BR,
The Perl dependency cycles can be temporarily broken apart for bootstrapping. It has been done very recently to bootstrap Perl 5.10 into Fedora 9, so I know it can be done.
