Instead of using the mokomakefile you could try this package I've made for Ubuntu(see http://andreasdalsgaard.blogspot.com/2008/07/openmoko-development-in-5-minutes.html). The package contain the toolchain and some common libs, which makes it quite easy to get started. Furthermore the opkg-sdk is installed, which means it is pretty easy to add missing packages to the toolchain. > - I eventually found out how to install Debian etch on my PC > (natively), but running Mokomakefile's 'make build-devel-image' gave > me an error 'don't know what to do with powerpc64 architecture'. > - The toolchain explicitly states that it needs i386.

I'm currently testing it but if anyone want to help out take a look at: http://andreasdalsgaard.blogspot.com/2008/07/openmoko-development-in-5-minutes.html At the moment the package fixes the .la problem with an "evil hack" that make the compilation process use an alternative libtool script. Actually I would like to have ./configure pick up the LIBTOOL enviroment variable instead but I have not figured that part out yet, however I believe this might require another autoconf package. > -- > Dylan Maxwell Reilly > > ___ > Openmoko community mailing list > community@lists.openmoko.org > http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community > ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

If you do not want to delete all the "null" contacts by hand I've made
a script(attached as remove_all_contacts.py) based on Wurps script
which removes all contacts in your addressbook. It should be pretty
easy to modify so that it only deletes "null" contacts.

Take a quick look at the attached import_contacts.py script, it is
based on Al Johnson modification to Wurps script.
