That's why you code in Lisp!![]()

You could map the L and R shoulder buttons to '(' and ')', then you could do without the qwerty keyboard almost completely.![]()
valhalla said:As an ide you could consider geany: it is lightweight, should fit better than something eclipse on the small screen, and it is already in openembedded/angstrom.
I don't think that full programming will be feasible, but that's just because of the small keyboard/screen; the hw would be perfectly capable.
+1
Geany's a great editor (I wouldn't call it an IDE, even though it apparently wants to be one), one of my favorites.
Well you can add whatever open source GUI coding front-ends you desire if your prepared to compile them up or wait for packages to turn upWookiee said:I'm sure that this is possible. I remember that it has come up before.
Something like Eclipse should be possible. You might want to consider how comfortable it is to program with a small screen, and a thumb board. Although it might help for testing and then chasing those last bugs.

I have mulled the idea of shipping a basic GCC compiler and supporting tools in the image.
Those tools have been in the test images for some time now and assuming they don't get pushed out on size grounds I am coming round to the idea of keeping them in the shipping images.
Not sure I would want to compile locally but I know a lot of people do want to so I am trying to aim to please.
For the record and as an academic test I installed GIT, pulled down some code from one of my GIT repositories to the Pandora, ./configure'd it and compiled it on the device and then ran the resulting app. All worked fine. Dynamic linking to installed libs etc. - Just as you would expect. If people really want to go all 'native' on the Pandora I am not going to stop them :lol:.
Nice. Thanks alot.

This summer when I am living in the woods I plan to code exclusively on the GP2XSphinxter said:I usually use two 120x48 character xterms and it's not worth going blind, does not make that much sense outside of the novelty of it when there's a 25.5" display and two cores at 5ghz I could be using instead. Even if I wrote something on it compiling there sounds more painful than fun.
