Problems with the N800 configuration

[Tobias Rundström]

Hello Trolltech,

I have downloaded the Qtopia 4.3 tech preview with the intention of
building it for the Nokia N800. First I would like to thank you for
doing a device configuration for the lovely internet tablet. I think
with your software it will be even better!

I had the following problems with the build:
* There was no real clear documentation on how to build. The
index.html points to build-from-source.html that doesn't exists.
* I "guessed" that I should build it within scratchbox, so I set
everything up on my PC running debian. then I did: mkdir build; cd
build; ../configure -device n800, the following happened:
* ALSA failed to detected. I made sure that libasound2-dev was
installed within scratchbox and it was. I tried to run the test
manually (cd config.tests/alsa/; make ; ./alsa) and it seemed to work
fine, but the configure script still didn't catch it.
* I bypassed alsa by editing the devices/n800/configure file to search
for oss instead, the also failed and configure disabled the media
subsystem.
* dbus was not found it searched for dbus in /lib/dbus-1.0 and
somewhere else, but in scratchbox the default is /usr/lib/dbus-1.0,
maybe it could be wise to add this by default.

Any clues on how to fix these problems?

Thanks,
Tobias
