Openmoko: Compiling on your om 2008.9

Sometimes it can be handy to compile your applications directly on your Neo FreeRunner. A great advantage is that you don't have to copy the files back and forth anymore. Also you don't have to use the Toolchain that can be cumbersome. Also setting you're development environment with MokoMakefile can take very long. At last compiling directly on the Neo FreeRunner is an easy step for beginning to develop your own applications or change other applications.

But when you try to compile your first c-file, you will notice something. You will be stuck without the utilities needed for compiling. The following command will install these basic utilities you need for successful compiling on the FreeRunner.

opkg install coreutils binutils gcc make cpp python-devel python-setuptools cpp-symlinks gcc-symlinks libc6-dev

Now you will have the necessary utilities to use 'make' into the directory you want to compile.
