Fully motivated I want to join the club of developers, and start programming applications for the N900. But somehow I'm already stuck with the "hello world" example.

Maybe first what I've done so far:

1. Tried the maemo SDK virtual image on my windows machine, followed the instructions and code on the forum.nokia.com website (http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.n...h_Maemo_5.html)

Somehow I wasn't able to build the application in this VM, so I decided to set up a laptop with Ubuntu and all the development tools

2. Installed Ubuntu, scratchbox, maemo SDK and ESBox following this guide:
http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/...l_Installation

3. Followed the example again, and ended up at the same point. Following is the error message I get (in VM and the Ubuntu machine):

Code:

configure: error: Package requirements (hildonmm libosso) were not met:
No package 'hildonmm' found
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix.
Alternatively, you may set the environment variables HELLOWORLD_CFLAGS and HELLOWORLD_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
*** exited with code 1

I was told (http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=36987&page=4) that the missing libraries should be in the scratchbox environment, but how can I check if they are already there or not? As this happened to me in VM as well, could there be anything wrong with the code in the example?

Hope that somebody can help me...
