Gnugo ported, porting questions

Hi everyone,

yesterday I was able to port Gnugo to the Ben, following David's
(David Reyes) instructions in his blog. I somewhat documented the
process here:

http://www.mostlymaths.net/2010/04/my-first-port-to-ben-nanonote-gnugo.html

if you have any problem following them, please tell me and I will try
to explain it more clearly.

If there is any place I can upload the ipk file, please tell me so and
I will do it.

As a side note, I have been trying to port some maths related stuff,
aiming at one of the personalities I would like to see soon:

* pari/gp powerful calculator, probably over the top, but I use it
quite regularly. Problem: a lot of specific scripts that determine
architecture and kernel by asking the system. Looks hard to solve.

* octave: needs a fortran (cross) compiler. I don't even know how to solve it.

* gforth: looks like there is no way to do so without installing the
toolchain to the Nano and compiling it there. Is it possible?

* emacs: it is not an easy task, I don't remember what error it
popped, the problem is that I think I have to send it a lot of
configure options and I'm still not used to doing so in the base
Makefile.

* sndpeek: I'm trying to port it now, just to see if it can work for
audio recording, and for controlling the nano by whistling (there is a
perl script to do so).

Happy Easter everyone,

Ruben
