Well, no porting is really necessary to get the basic package
running. It's just another ARM based device, so you just need to use a
cross-compiler and point it at the right libraries, etc.

The Tk stuff won't work, of course, because the necessary libraries
are missing from the Zaurus' stripped down environment. Besides, the
Zaurus doesn't have X.

It's amazing what you can do with the Zaurus. In addition to Ruby,
I've put Perl on there. Testing out snippets of code has never been
easier. With a WiFi card, a sniffer like Kismet and essential network
tools like nmap and netcat, it's a powerful arsenal of tools in your
pocket; a veritable sysadmin's dream.

But I digress; Ruby is the point of this thread.

I've put up a page at http://www.caliban.org/ruby/ruby-zaurus.shtml,
but this only contains a link to the binary distribution (in .tar.gz
format) that I put together to install directly onto my SD card. It's
less suitable for anyone wanting to run from a CF card or -- perish
the thought -- the RAM drive.

A next step would be to add a true Zaurus .ipk package, as they
require very little knowledge on the part of the user. On the other
hand, anyone wanting to hack Ruby on a Zaurus is probably not going to
be averse to getting their hands dirty on a tar file.
