[edit] Release notes for generic-4

[edit] What's new in this version?

  • We have upgraded components listed in detail below. We tried to align with GNOME Mobile 2.28.2 version.
  • Qt 4.6.2 with NEON optimizations
  • Xorg 7.5
  • support for Zoom2
  • Arora (Browser for Webkit/Qt)

[edit] New host requirements

  • cs2009q3-67 toolchain
  • Matrix >= 1.3

[edit] Installing

You can find the instructions for a quick start in the user guide (and From scratch generic-4 page).

Note: If a different version of Scratchbox is already installed on you system (e.g. when you installed the previous version generic-3), read the following section 'Upgrade'

Another option is to get pre-built binary images that you can use with the reference platforms.

[edit] Upgrade

If a different version of Scratchbox is already installed on you system (e.g. when you installed the previous version generic-3), you'll have to do one of the following 3 options:

  • OPTION 1: If the Scratchbox was installed with .deb packages, you can upgrade the packages.
    Otherwise if you used tarballs, use one of the following options:
  • OPTION 2: first remove (or move) the previous version of Scratchbox (see SB documentation), e.g.:
    • Note: It is recommended that you backup any valuable data from the users' home directories before removing them.
    • Stop SB: /scratchbox/sbin/sbox_ctl stop
    • Use the 'mount' command to check there is nothing still mounted for scratchbox. (otherwise umount manually)
    • Remove Scratchbox with command: rm -r /scratchbox
  • OPTION 3: install the new version at a different place
    • See instructions on page From_scratch and add the SB path to the commands, e.g.: tar zxf <package> -C /myPath
    • Then you can either
      • create a symbolic link from '/scratchbox' to desired place with command: ln -s /myPath /scratchbox
        (note you'll have to move '/scratchbox' if it exists already)
      • or use the actual path to SB for all the commands listed on From_scratch, e.g. './scratchbox/run_me_first.sh' will be './myPath/scratchbox/run_me_first.sh'
