Re: [DotGNU]Re: DotGNU Ported to PocketPC

[Vitaliy Pronkin]

Linux provides set of libraries and system calls other applications are based 
on. So if
some app uses them and Linux runs on some device then that application will work
on that device.  

Another question is that on such special devices as pocket pcs there are 
non-standard
input methods, maybe x11 server and so on. That's why there's special class in 
.NET CF
to control Input Panel that don't exist in desktop version of .NET runtime. So 
I think dotGNU
will run on any linux device but maybe it won't support all its special 
features. If we are
talking only about runtime engine then I think it will of course work because 
it doesn't matter
for it, what libraries it works with, it only matters that it can work on some 
processor and
on top of some libraries provided by linux.

Vitaliy
