I'm guessing you're suggesting to compile on the device to get away from many of the problems with setting up a development environment on my Fedora box.

This is perhaps the best suggestion that solves the most problems. But it has some drawbacks (for me). My network "situation" is, at best, functioning letting me use the WIFI connection in the N900 as much as I want but I need to get new hardware to make the device show up to the rest of the network.

On top of that, a quick inspection of the file systems on the device suggests that I've only got something like 65MByte left on the root partition (and I got this device from the store three days ago, I've installed OpenSSH and htop, nothing more) making me feel a bit uncomfortable with installing all that is needed for local development. Unless it all behaves nicely and uses this opt-solution, which I don't know how to check with less than installing a package.

So, I feel a bit forced, still, to try to set something up outside of the device.

Thank you for the suggestion, though. If things turn into too much of a problem, I'll give that a go.
