MyDocs partition does not support permissions...
you may want to move the folder to /home/user/ or /opt/
./sifo

Thank you for the help, I moved to both directories; /opt/ then home/user but still got the same permission denied error. Also I got permission denied when trying to delete the folder (Homeworld) back from /opt/. I was able to delete it from home/user however. No idea what to try now, any help at all would be awesome.
EDIT: I got it. After using chmod to get permission on the "homeworld" file using chmod g+w homeworld thats after cd'ing to home/user/Homeworld I was able to run using ./homeworld.
Now I have Homeworld on my N900! Expect feedback.

This is great work. The Game runs fine except for the stuttering in the sound. I'm overclocked at 850 and it still stutters. At 600 its much worse. Could this somehow be fixed?

I wonder how it will run if thumb-compiled.
@gidzzz - if you have time and will to try, I will give you some support to setup thumb target in scratchbox

You got me curious. 
I loosely followed instructions from the wiki to set up the GCC 4.7.2 target and looks like it went well (Open Media Player lost almost half of its weight, yay! Hamster Filer works great too).
Unfortunately, when it comes to Homeworld, it fails to start with the following message, no matter if it's compiled with or without -mthumb:
I have no idea what to do with it (although I have not performed a thorough googling yet). If you have a clue, I'd be grateful.

However...I tried with GCC 4.6.2 and it worked flawlessly. What are the results? Size of the executable decreased from 2814 KiB to 2232 KiB, but there was no significant FPS gain in my test cases. At 850 MHz it looks approximately like this:
[Scene]: [GCC 4.2.1] -> [GCC 4.6.2 Thumb]
Tutorial: 30.5 FPS -> 31 FPS
Medium battle: 5.5-7.5 FPS -> 6.5-8 FPS
Large battle: 3.2 FPS -> 3.5 FPS
I have begun porting the game to unwrapped GLES, to see if it works any faster, but it did not bring any great improvements in terms of FPS so far (but it's still far from complete). Nevertheless, it wasn't a waste of time, as I fixed two graphical bugs on the way. I'm especially happy that ion beams don't look so lame anymore.
I updated the first post so that it links to the new version. The changes are:
- Prettier ion cannons
- Fix for engine trails sometimes not appearing
- Framerate is written to the terminal
