danielkMaemo 2.0 requires the legacy Scratchbox 0.9.8 which does not support the amd64 architecture natively. However, I’m running Ubuntu on amd64 and managed to get Scratchbox working inside a 32-bit chroot environment. Scratchbox itself is built around chroot, so this approach has the weird consequence that I’m now running two nested chroot environments — like matryoshki.
In order to save others the hassle of figuring out how to set this up (read: Murray extorted it from me), I put together a little howto on the subject. Enjoy!
