Hi,

I'm trying to learn to write apps for my N900, just for fun and personal interest really. My background is mainly embedded C programming and I have pretty much no experience of programming in Linux. I'm using a Windows PC for the work so initially tried the whole virtual machine method but have now switched to using MADDE and Qt which seems a lot simpler.

After following many of the useful guides and posts available here I have managed to write a simple app and run it on the device from within Qt (yay!) but I'm not sure where I need to go from there to get my app running directly on the device.

From reading I think I need to build my source code into a package using MADDE, is that correct? I am trying to do that following the "MADDE/Qt example" guide but I am a little confused on what to do exactly. I have created the skeleton project as described, put my source files into it and altered the .pro file to include my files but I get a lot of error messages when I try to make it so I'm obviously doing something wrong. This is the output I get:

g++ -c -pipe -O0 -Wall -W -I../../../sysroots/fremantle-arm-sysroot-2.2009-51-1 -qt453/usr/share/qt4/mkspecs/default -I. -Ibuild -o build/main.o src/main.cpp

Could someone please tell me firstly if this is the correct route to progress from running the app inside Qt and if so then what I may be doing wrong?

Thanks
