There is README on github how to compile from sources. It should be quite 
easy. Check

	https://github.com/radekp/qtmoko/

Compiling on phone is possible, but it takes days, so i think cross compiling 
is better for you.

After you are done with compiling, you can change the code and:

	cd build/src/libraries/qtopiaphonemodem
	make
	make install

This will rebuild just the one library and you can scp the result to neo, 
restart QtMoko and try...
