[Ipodlinux-devel] Writing programs and compiling

[David P. <dpi...@ma...>]

I wrote my first program for the iPod today. As is customary, I had to appease the computer programming gods with a "Hello, World!" application :)   I don't have telnet working since I haven't gotten the firewire working on the old one 'cause I'm using hda4 with an ext3 partition instead of UMSDOS, so I had to name my program 'l'. This way I can use the scroll wheel.

Anyway, it worked, but I was curious why an error message results when the process is complete... "pid 60: Failed 256". Is there a smoother way to exit than simply returning from main.

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
   printf( "Hello, World!\n" );
   return 1;
}
