howto start developing for qtopia X11 ?

[Jakob Kuczewski]

Hello,
I'm a student of computer science and still have no idea about
developing an X-application or qtopia. But somewhere I have to start.

I've read through the qtopia devolopers guide and copied the qtopia git
repository mentioned there. I executed the needed commands but on the
configure-part I get the error message:

Testing for ALSA: FAIL
ERROR: You requested -sound_system=s but it was disabled.
make: *** [src/build/mkconf/configure] Fehler 2

(more about that see below)

I'm also not sure about how to develop. I'd really like to look at some
music player - I guess the qtopia musicplayer.

I read the eclipse-dev pages but I guess they are still for GTK?

I also looked at the SDK from qtopia - but there I didn't know how to
set the freerunner as bouncing and a virtual machine is somehow
unconvenient since I have a very small display.

Lot's of issues - please tell me what you think is the most confortable
way for developing qtopia with X11.

Thank you,
Jakob
