Newbee need direction
Hello Im a newbee. And would love some help to get in the right direction. I have looked in to pascal(not very useful but good fun) and java(really basic) when I was in school but that was a few years ago. Im most intrested in developing small useful application for the freerunner and as a sideproject will look in to making apps for the Iphone but that is a side project since I dont have a Iphone yet and its a diffrent story. Should I start with the developers guide on the openmoko.org or go and buy a book? Any learn to sites on the web? What lanugare should I start with? Does it matter what OS im using on my computer? Im using Ubuntu 8.10. Im so close to give it up now :-(. I have read http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Openmoko_developer_guide but its many roads and I seem to get lost or stuck every where I go. /Robin Häggqvist Robin recommends: http://openoffice.org * http://gimp.org * http://avast.com * http://gmail.com * http://cdburnerxp.se * http://7-zip.org * http://realvnc.com/ or http://www.ubuntu-se.org/ ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Developers guide for dummies - Eclipse
Hello I might start with that I don't have much developer experience(some java/Pascal class in school a few years ago) and im trying to setup eclipse on my ubuntu8.10 machine. I think I have installed it in 3 diffrent places(first 3.2 version second 3.4.4 version and one 3.4.1 with C/C++ platform). Maybe not too good but there it is. Im having problem setting it up. Im told to do: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Development_with_Eclipse create the managed C project and add `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0` both to the compiler options and to linker flags. and follow the 8 steps on the same page. I have no ide what the compiler options are or what linker flags are. My window looks like this.( http://picasaweb.google.se/lh/photo/Hqo8bETo7P2a9NvcoJ0fbQ?feat=directlink ) ( http://img377.imageshack.us/my.php?image=propertiesforfirstjt3.png ) Did I start on the wrong end here? Did I skip anything important since im a dummie and are starting from 0 as a developer. should I start somewhere else? -- /Robin Häggqvist Robin recommends: http://openoffice.org * http://gimp.org * http://avast.com * http://gmail.com * http://cdburnerxp.se * http://7-zip.org * http://realvnc.com/ or http://www.ubuntu-se.org/ ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Is there a dist with Some hidden Calypso commands included
Im looking for a dist that have implemented the magic Calypso commands that *might* solve the ECHO issue. I just want to flash my FR. I cant compile new kernels or modules or any of the other cool stuff you kids do.
