I understand. But it is not a viable way to me.
The target processor has 64MB SDRAM and 128MB Flash as a mass storage device
and it is running at 300Mhz. To compile Gambas on target I will need
native GCC, GNUtools and whatever else... mmh... too big and too slow.

I need to run an executable.

I don't need to have an IDE or RAD to develop in an embedded board.
The only thing I need is some library and an executable just to run the gambas project...

I have already qt-embedded, so I have the half way done... :)

I could use openmoko emulator (qemu and scratchbox) just to compile natively
on an emulated system, then pass the executable onto the real system...
I think this is *not* the right way to let the things done.

give me a mail, if you will be the first.
