[Scratchbox-users] QEMU Option Not Available?

[Barry Bennett]

I am new to the scratchbox environment which was suggested to me as a 
way be able to cross compiling the Mono project for my target CPU.  I 
have read the documentation for installing and using scratchbox, but 
I am confused about the selection of a CPU-transparency 
method.  Maybe a more seasoned scratchbox user could help me out.

I followed the "Installing Scratchbox" document found on the 
scratchbox web site.  This document is slightly dated, but I could 
find nothing newer.  I followed the section 2.2.2 instructions for 
"Installing Scratchbox On Other Linux Distributions" and installed 
the following tar balls:
scratchbox-core-1.0.7-i386.tar.gz
scratchbox-libs-1.0.7-i386.tar.gz
scratchbox-toolchain-arm-gcc3.3-glibc2.3-1.0.1-i386.tar.gz

I was not entirely sure which tar files to use, but the document 
entitled "Cross-Compiling Tutorial With Scratchbox" found on the web 
site suggests these would be a good choice.  Once installed I 
followed the steps to create the sbox group and created a user for 
scratchbox.  I then started up scratchbox and attemptted to setup a 
target using the sb-menu.  When I get to the "Select CPU-transparency 
method" dialog the only option shown is "none."

The documents suggest that I do not need to do anything else but 
clearly something is missing.  I tried downloading and installing the 
scratchbox-devkit-cputransp-1.0.1-i386.tar.gz file, but this made no 
difference.

Can someone please point me to what I am doing wrong or what document 
describes this installation method better so that I can get it to 
work?  The documents make it seem very easy, but clearly there is 
something not described or some pre-condition not being met that I do 
not understand.
