I'm just new to the forum as I plan on buying a Motorola a780, mainly because of it's Linux PDA features and the quite moderate price.
So here's what I'd like to know before buying and couldn't find out yet: I would like to be able to write and compile/execute programs on the road (basically to do some small physical calculations to verify results of current measurements and things like that). How easy is it to get a C compiler, Perl interpreter, or even better a FORTRAN compiler running on the a780, so that I can write AND run programs on the phone?
The only thing I found out so far is a perl interpreter called "microperl" but I'm not sure if this is sort of a perl-console with direct input only, or if it can handle perl scripts. C and/or Fortran would be more useful, anyhow.
BTW, I tried to search for similiar topics on the forum too, but could find only unsatisfying Borland Compiler with DosBox solutions.
The zgcc port looks good if it works on a780 (don't know about how big the difference of the architecture is in comparisson to the e680i) but I just asked that in it's thread.
Python, however, would be ok as an alternative, if nothing else works out. Thanks for the quick reply.
Well, i have:
- zgcc working but sometimes seg. fault or illegal instruction
- php working perfectly
- perl working, havent tried do more with it (not interested with perl, however have tested run some script successfully)
- python working, havent tried do more with it either
My device is ROKR E2, it should work same as all ezx too.
Looking forward for a fully working gcc or zgcc, so i can completely move to C or C++...

Do you have a full Perl version? I just found something about "microperl" which is a single executable that can run only rudimentary perl scripts. If you have full perl, where did you get it from or how did you do it?
Fully working gcc, g++ or gfortran would indeed be the best solution.
Look at the zgcc thread, i have posted the links there...you can found the perl in that links... All u need is just copy bin and lib somewhere in ur SD, then set the environment manually...
