Hi,
You should flash the latest testing image
(http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/software/images/NanoNote/Ben/testing/2011-02-16/),
it has gcc installed by default.
Please explain more about "GCC is not fully working"? It is working just
fine - the problem could be that some development libraries are missing (for
example, it would fail if you try to build some ncurses app), but these can
be copied from your development tree.

Hello, I've just got my brand new ben and it is super!
Sounds like a milestone: now we even have satisfied users :)
I have expected much but it is better than expectations :-). But I
have got few questions:
1) is gcc working? I have read that ben nanonote hasn't gcc but my
nanonote with 12-14-2010 image gcc has, but when I want to compile
something, it fails with some error "can't load module libopcodes.so"
or what. I have tried JLime and it has fully functional gcc, so I
guess that it is bug and will be fixed in new image.
The 02-16 image lacks gcc. However, you might be able to install it
via
'opkg install gcc-mips', check available packages at:
http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/software/packages/NanoNote/Ben/latest/
Maybe first make room for gcc by removing some stuff 'opkg remove
octave-data' or something.
That said, GCC is not fully working and needs more work AFAIK. I'd
recommend to rely on script languages for now. You have at least
Lua,
Python, Tcl, Octave, Gforth and a number of lisp dialects.
3) what is that emacs vfork problem? Half of the programs in emacs
doesn't working because if I run them, they fail with some "vfork"
problem (try to run M-x shell).
You are running emacs in parallel with gmenu2x? That's an
out-of-memory
condition, I guess. Both programs use tons of memory. Usually when
starting an application from within gmenu2x, gmenu2x is removed from
memory and reloaded when the application exits.
Unfortunately, you cannot launch emacs from gmenu2x, so you start it
From a terminal. Before you do that, you need to suspend gmenu2x by
launching some small (dummy) program, e.g. ash.
Just tried that and emacs works fine for me. Try <Esc> x rcirc,
should
allow you to connect to #qi-hardware from your within emacs on your
nanonote :)
That emacs (or the shell?) hangs when started from the gmenu2x icon,
is
a quite interesting (and new) misfeature of gmenu2x.
cheers,
David
