R project's GNU R for Nokia Internet Tablet

How to compile GNU R for Maemo, using the 3.2 SDK:

• Start your Scratchbox session and activate the ARMEL target
• First, grab f2c.tar from somewhere. Use google.
• Then, build f2c (make -f makefile.u)
• Copy the f2c.h to /usr/include and the f2c binary to somewhere in your path.
• Get libf2c.zip from eg. here, build it, and copy the libf2c.a to /usr/lib
• Get f77_f2c from here and install it to your path
• Now, unpack R sources and build it:

  ./configure && make && fakeroot make install

For some reason, even plotting seems to work, if I type eg.

plot(rnorm(16))

I don't even have a physical Internet Tablet device (you are free to send me one) so I don't know at all how it would work. Maybe the binaries and stuff have to put inside a .deb file and installed to the actual device.
