Linux programs with Windows?
Im using now windows xp and Im quite happy with it.
So I was just wondering, do I need to install Linux if I want to make programs for 770 with C++? Or does the compiling happen in 770 itself? |
Yes, I'm afraid you need Linux to run the development SDK and to compile programs.
But there is a free vmware player (http://www.vmware.com/products/player/ ) that you can use to run Linux (for example Ubuntu) inside a virtual machine. |
Ok, thanks for the answer.
Yea, wmware sounds like a good option. The free edition looks like it has everything I need too :) |

But I can get evalution versions of the other wmwares for 30 days. I hope that time is enough for me to decide if I want to continue making programs for 770 :) |
There are ready to use images on the site for download. You don't need the full version at all! http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/vm/

It gets even better. Here's info on how to create new virtual machines:

The provided ubuntu build works ok, though you need to install a load of packges to be able to install maemo's dev environment - build_essentials is the package that has all you need.
I have the environment building as we speak. |
nvm. i had a problem, but now its solved :)
edit: yep, now everything is running and compiling :) (tho not that smoothly yet, but thats not todays problem :P) |
