I have ubuntu with scratchbox SDK installed. I have compiled an app on it I want to port to Maemo. The app runs in the SDK window, but being PC based, I need to press Fn-keys to configure it so it doesn't get past the initial screen. I don't know if it is because of that or a more serious error yet.
How to port this? I know I've seen a page in the past which gives a very crude example of this, "hildonizing" menus etc, but can I find it now I need it? Not a chance. Been looking for weeks at example after example but nothing with a useful "where to start" guide - and I'm not including "hello world" as useful!

Then there's python. I'm sure this is something I could get to grips with, but are there any examples out there specific to the N900?

I don't consider myself stupid, I've been hacking around with Linux since Slackware'96, I can recompile kernels, and I'm very at home with a CLI. I even use VIM as my preferred editor! My problem is that all my programing is business based, so databases, accounts etc. but I think with a few good examples and some API references, I may be able to have a go at this. I have some ideas for some very nice apps!

More developers on board means more apps for all of us!
Just wanted to say, not sure "Hildonizing" is even needed anymore, now that we are moving hard into Qt.
But I don't know if that is from Qt 4.5 or 4.6.2 or 4.7?
Or Maybe just from PR1.2 ?
