I've been scouring the documentation on maemo.org and getting pretty frustrated. Almost none of it is up to date, and almost none of it is relevant to a beginning developer. So:

Here is my code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <libosso.h>

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    osso_context_t* osso;

    osso = osso_initialize("name.exon.mapcacher", "20100529", TRUE,  NULL);
    if (!osso)
    {
        printf("Failed to initialise osso\n");
        return 1;
    }

    return 0;
}

Here is the output:

Failed to initialise osso

Why?

Also, what does "osso" mean? Years of using Maemo, I've never figured that out.

Is there any genuine getting started tutorial showing how to write a program that actually works in Maemo? Is there a hello world application that's less than a hundred lines, with an explanation of what all those lines are for?
