How can I get perl on my iPhone 3GS?

Question

Hello

I'm trying to get a regular C compiling environment on an iPhone 3GS running OS3.0 .

So far I have been unsuccessful in finding a suitable gcc (i mean the complete suite, gcc+headers+libc+whatever else it needs) for it.

Does anyone know if it is (yet) available and where ?

If not yet, is there any tutorial on the net on how to cross-compile from Linux (or at least Cygwin or windows) ?

Also, if gcc is not yet available, is there any perl port for iPhone 3GS with OS3.0 ?

Thanks a lot!

yep, that worked. Thanks a lot.

Now if I could only get gcc to work on the iPhone 3gs (the one on Cydia lacks "libgcc" and I cannot find it anywhere yet).

Hey,

I wrote a little tutorial a while ago about how to get the toolchain running on the iPhone. You can find it at http://blog.aaronash.com/?p=15

If you're only looking for the libgcc package, there is a deb that gets the job done here: aaronash(dot)com/iphone/fake-libgcc_1.0_iphoneos-arm.deb (I use it in that post).

Good luck!
