Has anyone successfully managed to run PD on a handheld?
If so, I would be very grateful if you would let me know which handheld and OS you tried, what kind of difficulties you encountered, and other such things.
Yes, I run it on my iPaq 31xx using familiar linux. There is a version of pd 0.32 at ftp://xdv.org/pub/gige/PDa* compiled for arm and the corresponding sources.
The problems were that I had to make substantial changes to pd in order to do integer calculations only, because the system doesnt have a floating point processor. Some things are not ported yet, like arrays, for example.
Basically this should be compilable on other operating systems too..
