How small could you get GnuStep? Squeeze into a Sharp Zaurus? |

About a year ago (18th - 21th march 02), there was a discussion thread
on that issue.
Answers were:
* GNUstep is too large
* GNUstep needs X11
* NextStep interface is too heavy for a PDA screen
What I recently found out is that there *IS* a X11 server (hosted on
sourceforge, called Zaurus Xfree86) for Zaurus.
With that on a Compact Flash (not in the kernel of course), it should
be possible to compile and run GNUstep on a Zaurus.
The benefits could be
* alternate (to Qt) GUI development kit
* a lot of additional applications
* easy to learn framework (supporting full unicode) and application
kit (supporting sophisticated graphics)
* porting of some MacOS X applications seems feasible
* a GUI looking like MacOS X seems feasible
Any ideas, comments, results, any sleeves rolled up?
