Re: Ubuntu SDK on other distros

 

I have experimented with lxc containers and they are fine as long you are happy with basic IDE functionality. The problem starts when you try to build and package for armhf target. For this the Ubuntu SDK is using chroots and I could not get these chroots work in lxc containers.

One idea might be to install it in an lxc container. I've been investigating this approach, but can't seem to get lxc containers working properly in Ubuntu, the container doesn't get an IP address.

Hello,

I managed to force the Ubuntu SDK to install on Debian. It was not straight forward, because there are some real dependencies what are not easy to satisfy.

But technically, if you can install the ubuntu-sdk-ide, ubuntu-sdk-dev packages and the click tools then you should be able to do pretty much all what you could do on Ubuntu.

Please share your experiences after you tried on Arch


cheers,

Hello everyone,

I'm gonna have my first attempt at writing some app for Ubuntu touch soon. My question is: I'm using Arch on my computer now (shame on me, I know, but it's for learning purposes) and I was wondering if anyone knows here about any ways or any documentation to make the Ubuntu SDK running natively instead of in a VirtualBox.

Cheers,
Ashwin
