APP: Lua and Perl

[puppetshow]

Hey
I have ported Lua and Perl scripting languages to Motorola E6, tested on firmware 09, works great. Tested under telnet session, the links contain binaries (compressed with 7zip).
It's my first port of software, hope someone will find it useful

Porting was eaaasy, lua: ''make ansi'', perl: ''make -f Makefile.micro''. Poof! Made with Toolchain for Windows/cygwin from samr7 and FoxE6.

It's not .pkg to be installed, just extract it and put wherever you want.

Perl: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/28596/Motorola/perl.7z

EDIT:
I renamed the topic, so now I'll put all programs I ported in here.

Any plans on porting Ruby? Or some JavaScript engine, KJS maybe?

ps. I see that you are using dropbox, is there any chance that you have linux client?

wat does this do?

[puppetshow]

@liiv: Yeah, I'll try to port ruby on Monday, as well as Python
@Viper89: These are interpreters for the Lua and Perl languages. So you could write scripts for these, not for just (ugly) bash language.

Later I'll try to make .pkg, so you could select, say, .pl file and assign it to Perl, it'd be cool

ps. I use windows, so I have no problems with dropbox

Cool! I'm really excited, I'll be finally able to do something with that phone!

You don't have to bother with porting Python, there already is one...

ps. oh, I haven't noticed that you mentioned cygwin first time I saw your post, strange perl&lua from windows guy? I would expect Mono from you!

Thanks puppetshow. Is there any chance to port php too?

[puppetshow]

Of course. I already finished porting tcl, now working on ruby, php and tcc (tiny c compiler) are next
Oh, and I compiled SDL (I want to port Open Transport Tycoon), but still have to test. Still having problems with ncurses (for programs like irssi) but I hope I'll make it soon.

Would anyone care to create .pkg's? I'm so lazy...

When all is done I'll make another thread with all stuff I ported/will port.

Thanks a lot puppetshow !!

Great news than...
As for the package I suggest that all the interpreters should be integrated in only one pkg so that there won't be many useless icons in the menu.



Here are some possible icons for the pkg

sorry to bother you guys...
but if someone can tell, what these things really do,it would be a big help for blokes like us, who are really in the dark with this one...
