well while working on it i thought it would be cool to cross-compile it |
| 12 |
myself. In the end i actually installed a binary version because i was |
| 13 |
not able to get it to work. I have to say tho that cross-compiling |
| 14 |
python was not such a problem i had to fiddle around a lil, but it was |
| 15 |
WAYS easier than perl. |

A long time? My guess is that it would take ages.... Well as i said i |
| 29 |
emerged a binary package of perl and didn't bother myself with it any |
| 30 |
more. It would be cool tho if it would be easier to cross-compile, but |
| 31 |
what would life be without obstacles... |
