[maemo-developers] programming on the n800 itself

[From: Hendrik Boom]

Are there any ports available for programming languages so that 
development can be done on the n800 itself?  Programming in the wild, so 
to speak, instead of cross-compiling at the desk?

I have hopes for gcc, or lisp, or something that can handle data 
structures and static typing.  I've noticed there are a bunch of guile 
files as part of my n800 system.  Is there also a standalone guile 
interpreter?

I've seen a report that gcc runs out of memory rather quickly on an 
n770.  Does the same apply to n800?  And which memory does it run out 
of?  RAM?  swap?  disk?

It seems rather ridiculous that a machine with 258MB should have 
insufficient storage for programming ... back in the 70's we could do 
some pretty sophisticated stuff on Unix on a 64K PDP-11.  Times sure 
change, don't they?
