[maemo-developers] problem in compiling

[From: Till Harbaum / Lists]

Hi,

ok. If you know a package is installed you can always try
to figure out what pkg-config thinks how its named:

[sbox-FREMANTLE_ARMEL: ~] > pkg-config --list-all    | grep alarm
alarm                             alarm - alarmd client library

So it seems pkg-config thinks the package is just named "alarm".

Thus you might try:
gcc alarm.c `pkg-config alarm --cflags --libs` -o alarm
