OK, it's the run-standalone.sh thing. I remember now, that was a
constant irritation when I was trying to fix bugs in Modest. I never
fully understood it. Is that thing documented anywhere, is there any
in-depth discussion of why it's necessary and how to use it? It really
makes every step in the development process very painful.
By the way, osso_initialize seems to work just fine without either
gtk_init or hildon_init. But no doubt failing to initialise one of
those will cause various kinds of hell later on. Is this dependency
documented anywhere?

OSSO == Open Source Software Operations (which is funny and now
defunct, but I won't go into it here).
If you're running on the device, make sure you're running as user and
not root (or at least using run-standalone.sh).
If you're running in Scratchbox, make sure to "af-sb-init.sh start"
and run the program using run-standalone.sh
Oh, note that some aspects of libosso will require a GLib mainloop,
whilst others require GTK+ to be initialized, as in Mr. Ivanov's reply
(osso_cp_plugin_execute () springs to mind).

I've been scouring the documentation on maemo.org and getting pretty
frustrated. Almost none of it is up to date, and almost none of it is
relevant to a beginning developer. So:
Here is my code:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<libosso.h>
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
osso_context_t* osso;
osso = osso_initialize("name.exon.mapcacher", "20100529", TRUE, NULL);
if (!osso)
{
printf("Failed to initialise osso\n");
return 1;
}
return 0;
}
Here is the output:
Failed to initialise osso
Why?
Also, what does "osso" mean? Years of using Maemo, I've never figured
that out.
Is there any genuine getting started tutorial showing how to write a
program that actually works in Maemo? Is there a hello world
application that's less than a hundred lines, with an explanation of
what all those lines are for?
