You need to compile your modified sources in order to make them installable. You'll need the Maemo SDK.

Code:
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
can be used to build the source and create a .deb package which can be installed on the device. Make sure to install all the build-dependencies on the SDK first (dpkg-buildpackage will tell you the package names if they are missing).

Not 100% sure, but my guess would be no. Pidgin has dependencies other than Qt.

On your PC, but the Maemo SDK requires Linux. Virtual machine images are available (somewhere?) if you don't want a full Linux installation.

Is this a qt application... did you make it in nokia qt sdk if so i will help you get it compiled if you want.

next install mad developer on your mobile.

Hi Jamie, I dont think it is a Qt app, all the details about the file can be found here: http://maemo.org/packages/source/vie...n/2.6.6-1nix0/

Guys please help me out.
Dont even know what language this package was written in.

There is a configure.ac and Makefile.am inside the package.
I read somewhere about using the command ./configure
But when i type this in x-term says something about permission.
And what would this do if i managed to execute this command??
