It there anyway to get maemo mapper to compile on Ubuntu. I tried to do it on Feisty by running the ./autogen.sh and get this.

+ glib-gettextize --copy --force
Copying file mkinstalldirs
Copying file po/Makefile.in.in

Please add the files
codeset.m4 gettext.m4 glibc21.m4 iconv.m4 isc-posix.m4 lcmessage.m4
progtest.m4
from the /aclocal directory to your autoconf macro directory
or directly to your aclocal.m4 file.
You will also need config.guess and config.sub, which you can get from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/config/.

+ libtoolize --automake --copy --force
+ intltoolize --automake --copy --force
+ aclocal-1.7
+ autoconf --force
+ autoheader --force
+ automake-1.7 --add-missing --copy --force-missing --foreign

I did add the files
codeset.m4 gettext.m4 glibc21.m4 iconv.m4 lcmessage.m4 progtest.m4
from the /aclocal directory to the autoconf macro directory. I had to create the macro directory to place the files in it. I also did not have the isc-posix.m4 anywhere that I could find.

After all that I tried the dkpg-build.sh just to see what would happen and I ended up getting this

Package libosso was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libosso.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libosso' found
./dpkg-build.sh: 29: dpkg-buildpackage: not found

Is there anything I could do to get this to work?

At the moment, Maemo Mapper can only be compiled and run on x86 through the Maemo SDK.

bummer... thanks for letting me know!

You can, of course, install and run the Maemo SDK on Ubuntu. This allows you to run Maemo Mapper in Ubuntu.
