I am trying to install a program that I wrote for desktop, in Python, on my N900. The thing is, it depends on SWFTools, which is not in the Maemo repository. So I installed gcc and g++ and had a go at compiling on-device. This in my result:

Code:

Nokia-N900:/swftools-2011-01-23-1815# ./configure -build=arm-unknown-linux
checking build system type... arm-unknown-linux-gnu
checking host system type... arm-unknown-linux-gnu
checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler works... no
configure: error: in `/swftools-2011-01-23-1815':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details

And the contents of config.log:

Code:

Nokia-N900:/swftools-2011-01-23-1815# cat config.log
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by configure, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.68.  Invocation command line was

  $ ./configure -build=arm-unknown-linux

Code:

wget http://www.swftools.org/swftools-2011-01-23-1815.tar.gz
tar zxvf swftools-2011-01-23-1815.tar.gz 
cd swftools-2011-01-23-1815/
sb2 -e ./configure
sb2 -e make

All binaries to one pack -> http://cc.oulu.fi/~rantalai/swftools...bin-arm.tar.gz (4Megas)

Is this what you needed?

I must say that I do not know what is swftools and should it be packaged for fremantle (is there any real use for it?). Is swftools needed on 'compile'-time (quotation mark because of python) or it is runtime dependency for your application?

Thank you! What is sb2? (I don't seem to have it installed.) In python I am just invoking swfc from the command line with os.system, so I do not need it on "compile-time" but it is needed to export to SWF. To answer your other question, swftools is a set of utilities for working with swf files and as such are more of a supporting library than an application. The only one I actually need is swfc. I may just bundle your compiled swfc along with my application.

My steps are run on Ubuntu computer, not N900 device.

sb2 = Scratchbox 2 [http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/sbox2]
= Cross-compilation environment

Once there was a time I though that Scratchbox 2 will make Scratchbox 1 obsoleted, but sb2 is now abandoned.

With sb1, steps are (tested for Harmattan: http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com)

Code:

scratchbox
wget http://www.swftools.org/swftools-2011-01-23-1815.tar.gz
tar zxvf swftools-2011-01-23-1815.tar.gz 
cd swftools-2011-01-23-1815/
./configure
make
