Hi, here's a noob question:

I'm trying to compile xmp (CLI XMPlayer for Linux, MODSupport didnt work for me) for Maemo 5, but I'm already stuck b/c of a funny problem :/ In GNU/Linux, I just do; chmod +x configure, ./configure, make, make install.

In Maemo things are different. chmod +x configure, and after ./configure (with root privileges) doesnt work, permission denied. After I tried "make" and It seems I dont have a tool named "make". How you guys compile things on Maemo?

PS: It seems I'm suffering from "the rootfs full problem" too, Its already at %93 and I have no idea about how can I reduce it, it was %70~ , and suddenly its now %93, and reboot&remove new apps method didnt work, Cant we have a "graphical app" to see whats going on? Like Filelight on GNU/Linux?

Normally, you'd use the SDK (search for Maemo5 SDK in Forum Nokia), which builds things on a desktop computer.

While it's not the most common way, you can of course build on a device -- I'd suggest a chroot.

Thanks but thing is.. I dont know how to chroot to my Maemo =)

Then search for the Maemo 5 SDK and download it, I think it's easier (more documented at least) for now.

So, its not possible to just give "make" and compile :/ OK, I'm downloading the SDK.

It is possible. You have to add the SDK repos and then apt-get install gcc, make, autoconf, etc. But it's not a very good idea because it will fill up most of the root filesystem even with nothing else installed. And gcc runs very slow, much slower than I would have expected.

And while this might allow make to run, it might still be a long way to be able to run configure (bash, etc.).

No, it all works fine. It just eats up most of your disk space and runs really slow.

didn't you do that on the /home/user/MyDocs partition? it's mounted with noexec flag by default - so you can't run anything off it...
