Hi, Programing directly on the device is interresting. Maybe porting TCC Tiny C Compiler http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/tcc/ is appropriate. I use it all the time to do small applications on my desktop computer. It's blazing fast and allow to use C file as you use script. It is not fully compatible with GCC, but far enough for everyday use to me. But I must say that the first thing that prevent to use the device to do programm is the lack of a good editor adatpted to it. The Note application is unusable to do code and editor in xterm are very annoying because there heavly use CTRL ou ESC that are not easly to do on the device. -- Eero Tamminen a ?crit : > Hi, > > ext Paule Ecimovic wrote: > >> Thanks for this link to the Maemo 2.1 SDK.
