hi folks. i'm trying to setup a development environment on ubuntu. i've got a base ubuntu installation set up.

now i'm trying to figure out how to compile an app for ubuntu. i downloaded the source code for one app (yes, the app runs on the n900) to test. the app is written in C.

my thinking: since the n900 is ARM based and most gcc compilers do x86 compilation, is there anything else i need to setup on ubuntu?

No magic, you need to cross compile your application for arm.
The "easiest" way is to setup a whole crosscompiling envirionment.
For programming in c, scratchbox is the way to go:

here is the link of the project https://projects.forum.nokia.com/compass
if you download compass_v0_9.zip and execute it using qt creator then it gives errors? Do you have any answer for this?

such as "/src/compass-build-desktop/../compass/mainwindow.h:9: error: QGeoPositionInfo: No such file or directory"

I have included the following #include <QGeoPositionInfo> but it is not recognized by the system
