I do not know any ports for gcc toolchain to Tablets. It there are ones please provide links where to get one. I woulld be interested to see how porting has been done to the little restricted environment we have in Tablet :). > >I have hopes for gcc, or lisp, or something that can handle data >structures and static typing.

Just install meta package To setup Tablet development environment. See instructions from here: http://maemo.org/development/documentation/programming_languages/ If you want to improve communication between your host PC and Tablet You can install maemo PC Connectivity package again from Diablo extras http://maemo.org/development/documentation/pc_connectivity/ If you want to use Eclipse IDE for Python on-device development we have the first version (still somewhat restricted) of Pluthon Eclipse plugin available. http://maemo.org/development/documentation/ide_integration/ > >I've seen a report that gcc runs out of memory rather quickly on an >n770.

This will solve memory problems (if you use big enough mmc card :) also for C/C++ development as you can freely install all needed tools, debug symbols etc. Cheers, //Jarmo > >-- hendrik
