[maemo-developers] Maemo on Nokia N810

[From: Amita Ekbote]

Hey,

I am a Newbie to hacking the nokia N810. I am trying to write an
application with a front end in python and back end in C++ (already
written) . I have flashed the nokia N810 and installed the SDK
already. I followed all instructions from maemo site. I have 2
problems

1) The hello world program in C given for testing the SDK doesnt work
on the GUI. I have xephyr running where there is an image flash(not
sure if that is wat is supposed to happen ) and I get the following
error in scratchbox

helloworld[3149]: GLIB WARNING ** GLib-GObject -
IA__g_object_new_valist: object class `GtkWindow' has no property
named `label'
helloworld[3149]: GLIB WARNING ** Gtk - Can't set a parent on a toplevel widget
main:calling gtk_main
helloworld[3149]: GLIB ERROR ** Gtk - file gtkcontainer.c: line 2745
(gtk_container_propagate_expose): assertion failed: (child->parent ==
GTK_WIDGET (container))
aborting...
Aborted (core dumped)

2) In the focus of trying to get the SDK running I overlooked the R&D
mode instructions while flashing. Do we need that to write
applications in python? (I have'nt done my homework on this yet i.e
still reading up but a lil guidance wud help)

Thanks
Amita
