maemo SDK+
Maemo SDK+ is based on Scratchbox2 and provides an alternative way to build applications for maemo platform.
We have eliminated Scratchbox1 completely. The current version, however, is still alpha quality lacking essential features like runtime debugging support.
The biggest benefit of maemo SDK+ is that the developer is no longer forced to program in closed environment. New development tools can be easily taken into use and the overall developer experience is smooth like developing natively in your host computer.
We also wanted to make installation procedure as easy as possible. Before installing please read the Installation Notes document.
