Are there any way to compile .c in vm virtualbox and copy into n900?

I hate install libs for one use.

thanks for the awesome how to
i have always been prety computer literate but have just started a software engineering degree so i have just started getting into the guts of the unix world.

I have a c class n i got this working but ssl would be awesome when im at home can anyone tell me does the n900 come with ssl?
i try type it in terminal and i get -sh : ssl: not found
if it doesnt can anyone tell me or point me toward a good guide to get it to work?

all of my programs i write for this class have to compile n run on mac osx.. r there any major differences between compiling on n900 and the macs?

thanks

to VIMES: i am not sure \out the size occupies these libraries, but y would u worry about size ? i dont think is much.

to SRINIVASU:
as mentioned above u have to install g++ as mentioned in the second step. then type : g++ or g++4.2 test.cpp

Hi,

Used this for hacking for ages - found after update to PR1.2 that the libc-dev version was incorrect, need to replace the one (20) suggested:

http://repository.maemo.org/pool/fremantle/free/g/glibc/libc6-dev_2.5.1-1eglibc20+0m5_armel.deb

with the following (25):

http://repository.maemo.org/pool/fremantle/free/g/glibc/libc6-dev_2.5.1-1eglibc25+0m5_armel.deb

All good again!

You could just add the following repo

deb http://repository.maemo.org/ fremantle/sdk free

and do: "apt-get install build-essential"
