I would like to skip the external linux box though. I think that if you want e.g. to compile C++ code with GCC on the device, you might need to use swap. Some C++ files can make GCC to take a lot of RAM. You should also note that the device has Busybox, not the normal GNU coreutils/fileutils/textutils. If the source uses GNU Autotools for configuring itself, you can run to very wierd problems because Busybox is not 100% compatible with the GNU utilities. And if you want to build Debian source packages, the device of course doesn't have -dev packages or the Debian tools for that. However, all of this is easy to do in Scratchbox (Maemo SDK). - Eero ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Re: [maemo-users] gcc compiler suite, linker, and make for ARM on ITOS2006
Thanks for the maemo-hackers xterm hint, this is definitly an improvment. I would just suggest to use smaller font for the CTRL bar functions to save space or to use a menu from a small CTRL icone (that will make a simple CTRL by default, as this is enough for most use) ? Of course the dream will be to let the user configure the bar...

Hi, Larry Thanks for this link to the Maemo 2.1 SDK. This is full of useful programming examples, although I am looking for gcc to run from the Nokia 770 itself from within an osso-xterm in order to be able to compile, link, and run programs right from and on the device, just like on a desktop linux box. I would like to skip the external linux box though.

I would like to compile programs for the Nokia 770 directly from source distributions and link them with platform-specific libraries to produce stand-alone executables and launch them from an x-term.

That said, it's very time-consuming and may be a bit confusing for someone else who hasn't done it before. It looks like there's a native build of the toolchain here, so you may want to check it out: http://dominion.kabel.utwente.nl/koen/cms/working-native-eabi-toolchain Larry ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
