1 Hi everyone,
2
3 I am Michael, have been using Gentoo for a few years or so and recenlty
4 got my dad's ipaq h3830. I have since been using it with familiar, with the
5 desire to run more than just some PIM applications. Now today (and a
6 few days before) I had a look at gameboy emulators, but none seems to
7 be precompiled for my iPaq running familiar, so I decided I compile one
8 myself. I've had no luck so far, trying with crossdev and trying with a
9 native arm compiler on my iPaq, but I do get the idea it should be
10 possible with much less problems than I experienced today. So I
11 decided to join the gentoo-embedded mailing list. I also looked at the
12 intimate project, which is fairly out of date and there seems to be no way
13 of setting it up normally, so this is some kind of my last resort for now...
14 Anyway, I hereby offer me and my iPaq for experiments that don't
15 endanger the health of neither one of us, so if anyone could tell me
16 where to start I'll be happy to help with whatever is needed... I think my
17 best skill is writing documentation, but I'm not new to linux or gentoo so
18 things like simple bughunting and adapting ebuilds and the like is fine
19 with me too... Setting up a toolchain too, as long as there's at least some
20 guidance in whatever form in case I get stuck...
21 Greetings,
22
