I wanted to start programming a small app for my n900 and installed the SDK using the GUI and without any error it finished and i was happy.
So i started reading the "Documentation/Maemo 5 Developer Guide/Development Environment/Maemo SDK" , followed the instructions and compiled the first Hello GTK example receiving the following compiler error:

sbox-i486-pc-linux-gnu-gcc: -DMAEMO_CHANGES: No such file or directory

I am not a linux guru and far away from being a hardcore developer, so maybe this is just something really easy to fix but i have no clue how to fix it....

Please show the command line where the error came from, it should be shown in terminal. Link to the documentation you were reading wouldn't hurt either

The Dokumentation is from this webpage:
http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/...ment/Maemo_SDK

This causes the error:
gcc -Wall -g gtk_helloworld-1.c \
`pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0` -o gtk_helloworld-1 \
`pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0`



I checked the output form pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0 which begins:
-DMAEMO_CHANGES
-I/usr/include/gtk-2.0
and so on

So i guess somehow the MAEMO_CHANGES definition got lost

ok ...beginners fault case closed

Hello, Im having the same problem with my compilation. How did you resolve this?????
