I think nobody did know about it and since there was never any source published by the initiator nobody has done any tests. Generally, since Android is Linux + some user space apps (some parts written in C++ and apps written in Java), you would need to develop/install at least: * libobj for Android * base + GUI * a backend that harmonizes with the frame buffer based Android graphics (e.g. toolbar, popup menus etc,) * find a mechanism to deploy apps not packed as .apk So it might be easier to install a Debian on your Android device and then use what already exists. > > Thank you > > ================================================= > reference #1 > TalkLittle WriteLittle > http://www.blogger.com/profile/01692665346700760331 > Sunday, November 27, 2011 > Setting up GNUstep in Windows > 9.
