hey people
once again i have a crazy question

i saw mad developer and other developing programs . so my question is can i realy write c++ codes and execute them or it is only paython or ho is it ??

and if it is posible what should i do to start writing codes and execute them . is there is a special compiler for n900 or what ??

http://maemo.org/packages/view/gcc-4.2
i cant developing, but you need gcc for c++, right?

edit:maybe usefull http://maemo.org/development/documen...ing_languages/ and
http://maemo.org/development/documen...e_integration/

You can... This is a good place to start.

The simplest is install SDK from here:

http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.n...ia_Qt_SDK.html

just select what host you are developing from windows, macosx or linux

(It probadly works best in Linux

The N900 can do everything a normal desktop can

thanks alot .

There, corrected that for you: I'd say, within reason, you can do everything on the N900 you could on a netbook; and like a netbook, graphics-heavy stuff and especially Flash games don't work well.

I still hope to use it as a laptop replacement for most things once I get USB hostmode up and running so I don't have to type with my thumbs: as I wrote elsewhere, a full mouse and keyboard and a TV for a monitor, and you're set IMHO!

Oh, and one more thing: remember that an ARM is designed primarily for low power use (MIPS or FLOPS per watt) and the memory is smaller and slower, so even a simple compile might be hard on it and take a while (I have yet to try it myself); keep this in mind for development. (AKA, don't expect a 4-banger Honda to even remotely perform like an 8+-banger Corvette!) You *DO* have a sweet alternative in VNC, though--which, even better, works BOTH ways!
