Developing on Ipod Touch 1st gen

[grimdoomer]

I want to start developing apps on my Ipod Tocuh. It's the 1st gen, and I don't have a mac. I read there were some librarys I could use to develope on it. I followed some tutorial I can't find any more, and downloaded Cygwin, and Notepad++. I have them installed correctly, but here is my main problem. There are no sample apps for the ipod, I can't seem to find any either, and I have no idea how to compile my app in Notepad++. Has anyone developed apps on their ipod/iphone using this method before that can help me out?

That's probably a good place to start. If i'm wrong, take a look around the forums there, it's got to have something useful to help you out.

I don't think Notepad++ has a compiler. If not then you'll just have to use another compiler. Just google free C++ compiler.

Well if there is a program to convert an exe to ipod executable, then I can make a Visual Studio template for it. I need to read some more about the ipod and porgraming on it.

I don't think there is a program that converts an .exe straight into an ipod executable. I do know apple has released the sdk for the ipod touch...I think it mainly is focused on javascript...but I did read somewhere it also supports C++ and Visual Basic etc.

If I remember correctly, apps are C, C++ and TurboC, stuff like that.
