I've got the virtual image (PreFinal Desktop) running now with VirtualBox and have installed the GuestAdditions and stuff, so its running at a nice resolution and smootly. I've tried compiling the following base.c file (an example from http://wiki.maemo.org/Legacy_Maemo_5...etting_started)
Using this: gcc base.c `pkg-config hildon-1 --cflags --libs` -o base
But I get an error message saying that hildon-1 isn't available:
Package hildon-1 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `hildon-1.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'hildon-1' found
base.c:1:27: error: hildon/hildon.h: No such file or directory
base.c: In function 'main':
base.c:5: error: 'GtkWidget' undeclared (first use in this function)
base.c:5: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
base.c:5: error: for each function it appears in.)
base.c:5: error: 'window' undeclared (first use in this function)
pkg-config --list-all does not show hildon in there. Can anyone offer some advice? I've even set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH var to point specifically to all the locations where I could find the hildon-1.pc files (/scratchbox/users/......../pkgconfig/hildon-1.pc) yet I can not get that example to compile.
I really would like develop some things for the N900 but just need to get a start
Well the Vmware maemo project is done by INdT which is the same guys who do Canola I believe, but vmware maemo is hosted on the tablet dev site so it is endorsed by Nokia Maemo I am guessing. Most of those websites you list are all written by different people as well I am guessing which also ads confusion.
Most of this is just my best guesses if you can't tell
wait until you download and start the vm. you will then need to download a whole bunch of packages. the setup is also not as straightward and simple as it could be.
edit: i would rather try the link above before trying to setup the vm
I'm not sure what sort of IDE MADDE has (if any at all). I think its to be used as the compiler more then anything else.
There are coming two IDEs.
Some eclipse based. I don't know when it is published.
qt creator. Is already there. Integration with madde is not
automatic yet.
