= Building Fennec for Maemo 5 =

These are instructions for building [[Fennec]] on Linux using the Maemo 5 (Fremantle) SDK for the Nokia N900.

We currently use the Maemo 4 (Chinook) SDK to build official Firefox for Maemo releases, because Fremantle is not compatible with the Nokia N800/N810.  See [[Mobile/Build/cs2007q3]] for Chinook build instructions.

== Configure VDSO and mmap settings ==

On recent versions of Ubuntu (including 8.04 through 10.04) and other distributions, you will need to add the following lines to /etc/sysctl.conf (otherwise the Scratchbox installation will fail with errors about mmap permissions):

 vm.vdso_enabled = 0
 vm.mmap_min_addr = 4096

Then run this command:

 sudo sysctl -p

== Install the Maemo SDK ==

Follow the instructions at or [http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/Maemo_5_SDK_installation_for_beginners Maemo 5 SDK installation for beginners] to install Scratchbox, Maemo 5 SDK, and Nokia binaries for ARM.

([http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/Maemo_5_Final_SDK_Installation Maemo 5 Final SDK Installation] has essentially the same instructions in a different format, if the you have problems with the "beginners" link.)

== Install dependencies ==

At the shell, run:

 /scratchbox/login

At the scratchbox prompt, run:

 sb-conf se FREMANTLE_ARMEL
 echo "deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel fremantle free non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
 yes | fakeroot apt-get update
 yes | fakeroot apt-get install \
  libgtk2.0-dev libxaw7-dev libfreetype6-dev libxi-dev \
  libhildonmime-dev libosso-dev libidl-dev liblocation-dev \
  libasound2-dev libhildon1-dev libiw-dev \
  libxdamage-dev libxcomposite-dev \
  libnotify-dev libhildonfm2-dev libconic0-dev \
  python2.5

(This is the list of packages as the Maemo 4 build, except python2.5 has replaced python2.4.)

== Clone and build the Fennec source ==

Stay logged into scratchbox and continue to the [[Mobile/Build/Fennec#Pull_the_code_from_Mercurial]] to start building Firefox for Maemo.
