Three steps back…
Okay so maybe not three steps. I got Dasher linking – hurrah! It turns out there was all sorts of fudging in the configure script to get it to work on the original Maemo for the Nokia 770, which is now unnecessary on OS2008. Hurrah for SDK improvements, but boo for not spotting that earlier.
The problem now is that libglade isn’t finding half the widgets in the glade file, and returns null pointers for them instead of the widget pointers. Every single one of the ones it’s failing to find is definitely in the XML, and the file’s definitely in the right place. I’ve checked – lots of times.
This might just be what makes me start to go bald.
