OpenMoko in QEMU

I have been closely following the OpenMoko project since the first announcement. At some point, my interest and desire to potest mobile Linux surpassed natural laziness :) Installing the emulator and platform turned out to be surprisingly simple. I want to share with you my results!

The working platform is Debian sid or Ubuntu.

$ sudo aptitude install gcc-3.4 lynx netpbm libsdl1.2-dev dosfstools subversion
$ mkdir openmoko
$ cd openmoko
$ wget www.rwhitby.net/files/openmoko/Makefile
$ make qemu
')
Get ready to spend traffic on N-megabytes - an OpenMoko image for qemu and something else
Wait until the emulator starts.

Everyone loves screenshots and that is why a couple of screenshots for starter are under the cutter :)
