Yeah, sorry about that. I was able to set up the 1.1.2 version as recently as early last year, but I guess all online server support is now gone. Luckily, it turns out that the 1.1.1 SDK can be set up completely independently, so at least that still works.

I am also totally new to all of this, I obtained a N900 for a fair bargain to use as primary phone and I was told it was one of the best phones there was due to its openness (u-boot and developing). It's just a wonderful device. But its support seems to have unconditionally, thoroughly, died at every aspect and everybody moved on it seems.
Certainly, Nokia (as a tech company) has unconditionally, thoroughly, died. But there are a few of us around who have not yet moved on.

And there is still plenty of documentation and example code around. Qt themselves may not officially support Maemo any longer, but their docs and example code still exist, for example:

https://wiki.qt.io/Support_for_Maemo

http://doc.qt.digia.com/qt-maemo-4.7...roduction.html

http://doc.qt.digia.com/qt-maemo-4.7...es-maemo5.html

But yeah, it does take a lot of effort to set up and start coding for Maemo these days...
