Re: WxEuphoria on ARM

I would not be suprised to find out that some special porting effort is required to get wxEuphoria to run on ARM. (For example, http://www.nongnu.org/avr-libc/user-manual/porting.html#iar_porting_flash says that C was not designed for Harvard architectures.)
I still have a lot to learn about ARM but since Euphoria and wxWidgets cross-compile nicely, I was hoping wxEuphoria wouldn't be too much of a stretch.
object WXEUAPI mouse_event_position(wxMouseEvent *event) { s1_ptr pos = NewS1(2); event->getPosition( pos->base + 1, pos->base + 2 ); return MAKE_SEQ( pos ); }
Unfortunately I'm still getting segmentation faults. I'm sure there is a key point I'm overlooking; I'll try to hunt it down!
Is there any interest in using Euphoria on ARM platforms, especially with the Raspberrypi (http://www.raspberrypi.org/ , http://openeuphoria.org/forum/116139.wc#116139) coming out soon?
Thanks,
Ira
I sent a post a few month ago about compiling euphoria on my Efika netbook. But I had a problem running some of the examples program that comes with euphoria. At the time someone suggested some solution but I didn't take the time to look at it. I would be happy to use euphoria on my Efika but I won't spend time trying to debug the source code. I'm waiting for a stable and working euphhoria for ARM platform. Until then I stick to C programming.
