GP2X Which Os Is Best For Coding With

[deluded]

ok, let's not make this a "my os is better than yours" thread..

I was really after opinions of experienced gp2x devs.

Oh, and programming on Windows is actually very good, providing you're writing Windows applications. Just a shame Microsoft haven't added gp2x to the list of supported devices in Visual Studio.

Even if they did, they'd probably require you to upload a 300MB .Net runtime library to the Gp2X before the app would run standalone

Right - I've got round to installing open2x on my linux box.

Does anyone have an example 'project' I can use to get me going. I'm not that familiar with make files etc.

Or do peeps just manually call arm-open2x-linux-g++ ??

Windows XP. It's the only OS to support Flamebird, and pretty much everything runs on it.

i never got usb telnet to work under linux, had to update some driver, etc etc.. nastiness.. in windows it worked. however, i really love the gnu tools for scripting and all that. so i tend to stick with linux.

Most folks use Makefiles which when invoked with the "make" command go through all the steps from compiling to linking. The hardcore geeks use Autotools (automake, autoconf, etc) I guess.

I found an example makefile on another thread a while ago.

tweaked that a bit, with and wrapped it in a bash script that gets the latest version out of subversion etc and does a few other tasks.

All works nicely now!
