[maemo-developers] Software on MMC cards & OSSO question

[From: David Hazel]

A few days ago, in a reply to a question I had posted, someone said that
executable files could not be run directly from a MMC card because of
those cards being mounted noexec. Can someone confirm whether this is
correct? Is it possible to get the OS to mount these cards -exec? Or is
the problem simply that FAT-formatted devices don't support the
"executable" attribute?

My second question is to do with the OSSO library. I am using the call
osso_rpc_run_with_defaults to open the browser. The Doxygen
documentation says that this call is "blocking", which I take to mean
that control should not return to my application until the browser is
closed. However, I am finding that control returns immediately, and does
not block my application. Is this a bug in OSSO, or have I misunderstood
what the "blocking" refers to? Ideally, I really need my application not
to continue past the invocation of the browser until the latter is
closed by the user. Failing that, I need to be able to embed a browser
in my application.
