I just bought a Sharp SL-C760 Linux PDA and I would really like to run Squeak<br>
on it and write my own PIM application. I don't know how big an image I can<br>
run there, so I am looking for a small image. So far I tried the following:<br>
<br>
<br>
I suppose I could live with an MVC only image.<br>
<br>
Is anyone using Squeak on a handheld? Could you give me some pointers to a<br>
suitable image file or instructions how to build one myself?<br>
<font color="#888888"></font></blockquote><div><br><br>A while ago, I ran Squeak on an HP Jornada 820 (16MB RAM, 200MHz ARM CPU). The VM was an old 3.3 one that I found hiding on <a href="http://ftp.squeak.org">ftp.squeak.org</a>, and it amazingly ran. <br>
<br>I had a collection of images that worked. I don't know how fast your machine is, but you can forget trying to run Morphic on a slow CPU. Also, I needed to shrink the image to below 16MB.<br><br>I achieved this by taking a 3.8 (or 3.7... I forget) image, opening up an MVC project and then manually removing all of Morphic and other crap in the class browser. This brings the image below 16MB. Then I spent some time adding performance tweaks to the MVC environment to make it even faster.<br>
<br>One day I plan to try to update the VM to a more recent version. The problems are:<br>* The only compiler for Win CE 2.11 is an old version of Microsoft Visual/Embedded C++; I forget the name and version. It won't run under WINE.<br>
* Alternatively, I could install Linux on the Jornada, but this will take hours of mucking around. Maybe during a long car trip at some stage? <br><br><a href="http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/2436">http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/2436</a><br>
