[edit] Scratchbox

Some Linux distributions have issues (see http://scratchbox.org/wiki/Apophis-r4):

[edit] vdso_enabled

On Ubuntu installation, you have to disable VDSO to make Scratchbox work fine.

Before Ubuntu 9.10, you can fix that executing this command from root user:

echo 0 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/vdso_enabled

For Ubuntu 9.10, the vdso_enabled flag is not available through /proc/sys/vm in the 64 bit build. It is still available on the 32 bit build.

Further information on workarounds for 64 bit builds can be found at http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/Maemo5_Final_Installation#x86-64_kernel

or try:

Add the following to /etc/sysctl.conf

vm.vdso_enabled = 0
abi.vsyscall32 = 0
kernel.vdso = 0

Run sysctl -p

[edit] mmap

Another problem is related to mmap under Ubuntu Hardy, you can fix with this command:

echo 4096 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr 

To make these changes permanent after each reboot, you can edit /etc/sysctl.conf and add these lines:

vm.vdso_enabled = 0
vm.mmap_min_addr = 4096

then apply it in this way: sysctl -p

[edit] Extra tests

[edit] Hello world

Have you checked you have installed Scratchbox and the toolchain correctly?

You can build and run the Hello-world project provided by Scratchbox. See the instructions on SB tutorial
