Which is why I suggested writing a configuration tool that does not try
to connect to 127.0.0.1. ;)
Ouch, this is insane... in order to support at least MacOSX, Windows
and Linux (Qt and Gtk) you need 4 different GUI toolkits, if you want
to support 3 platforms (PPC, x86, ARM) you need 4 x 3 = 12 binaries
to test. Ok, you could have python or other platform independent core,
but GUI would still be the same trouble, so 4 binaries to test.
And all of this is local access.. but how to let you configure
770/n800 from PC? plug usb and you loose mmc, wifi would still require
a daemon...
As willian said, the problem still remain... we're fixing the problem
in the wrong area.
Maemo is broken: it traps "socket()" calls instead of "connect()", why?
