Howdy, Folks,

The gauntlet has been thrown down:

I managed to get a "hello-world"-style program written in Kawa Scheme
running on Android, the OS running on the G1 phone.

http://per.bothner.com/blog/2008/AndroidHelloScheme/

So far I've only managed to run this on the emulator; I can't manage to
connect to get 'adb' to recognize the actual phone.

I'll be giving a lightning talk at the "Java Mobile, Media & eMbedded
Developer Days) in a few weeks, and hopefully I'll be able to demo a
more interesting application actually running on the G1 phone.

(This is not a Sun project or part of my "day job".)

I've made changes in svn 1186 and 1188 that should help facilitate
targeting Android/Dalvik. clojure.jar now translates with dx --dex,
but that is all I've had time to look at.

If people have time to try it, I'll follow up on any issues that arise.

It's getting closer :) I've added Issue 25 that includes a small patch
which allows dalvikvm to find the core clojure classes (was throwing a
ClassNotFoundException for clojure.core__init). As mentioned in the
issue report, it now crashes with a VerifyError on
StringBuilder.append() - which you mentioned you're going to look into
soon. Cheers,

Adam
