Yes, I'm afraid you need Linux to run the development SDK and to compile programs.
But there is a free vmware player (http://www.vmware.com/products/player/ ) that you can use to run Linux (for example Ubuntu) inside a virtual machine.

Ok, thanks for the answer.
Yea, wmware sounds like a good option. The free edition looks like it has everything I need too

But I can get evalution versions of the other wmwares for 30 days. I hope that time is enough for me to decide if I want to continue making programs for 770

The provided ubuntu build works ok, though you need to install a load of packges to be able to install maemo's dev environment - build_essentials is the package that has all you need.
I have the environment building as we speak.

So I was just wondering, do I need to install Linux if I want to make programs for 770 with C++? Or does the compiling happen in 770 itself?
