Is there a video of how to compile command line apps somewhere or would someone be willing to record next time you do one? I'm trying to recompile Lynx for N800 / OS 2008. Documentation seems to cover GUI development (which, granted is probably what most people are doing and is well beyond my level of programming experience at the moment).
I've got the virtual machine and can open scratchbox but am having some trouble wrapping my head around how to compile for N800 and get it to come out in a '.deb' package. I ran ./Configure and it seemed to check for dependencies, then said something about creating a makefile, but when I try to run Make on that it says "make: Nothing to be done for `makefile'." Running 'make install' seems to give me an executable which feels like I'm getting close . . . curious to know if there's a 'make ARMDebPackage' or something to that effect.
Nothing urgent, but I'd love to learn how to do this properly . . . I hope this all makes sense . . . constructive suggestions welcome.
