Hi,

You might also like to take a look at gp2xPd since it builds PDa without
the gui libraries. There's a description of how I did that in the file
src/gp2x.readme which is available in a patched version of PDa. So
download PDa 0.6 from Güenter's site, then apply the patch from here:
<http://mccormick.cx/projects/gp2xPd/files/gp2x-PDa.patch> and then
read the file src/gp2x.readme and have a look at the gp2x section in the
makefiles. You should be able to use something very similar for gumstix.

So great that you are porting to gumstix - let us know how it runs.

Best,

Chris.
