nowadays my effort of porting Parrot to the PocketPC platform, as you
may have suspected, force me to reopen the question.
there is, I know, a lot of work to be done. and this will surely require
a lot of time. and, very probably, much more knowledge than I currently
have. but I'm willing to learn, and to live long enough to complete the
task.
I intend to start submitting patches that do not break things that
already work. for example, everything that is pulled out from Perl's
%Config will need to be pulled out from somewhere else if, and _only
if_, we are currently cross-compiling. (well, this is the plan. I can't
exclude that something somewhere may break for some obscure reason, so
please bear with me in advance :-).
before I start dirting my hands with code, I'm here to ask you:
1) does anybody have objections to patching the current build system for
cross-compilation (even "yes, but not now because..." objections)?
2) does anybody already have a .plan or something in mind about it (so
that I may either learn from what others have thought, or avoiding
reinventing some wheel)?
should I be warnocked, I will silently assume "no" and "no" as answers
to the preceeding points :-)
cheers,
Aldo
