LaTeX for Sharp Zaurus

Work in progress! (By which I mean, not even nearly finished.)

Notes

Not an .ipk because I haven't yet tried to make one of those. I do plan to do this if I can resolve the problems viewing the output.
Takes about 9Mb of space. You will need more if you send the files to the Zaurus and unzip/tar them there, so if space is pressing extract them on your desktop and ftp them across.
I'm assuming no distinction between texmf and "local" texmf. It's all in one blob.
This only includes the cm fonts, nothing else. It's easy to add more. But only type 1 fonts seem to have any hope of being visible to opera/qpdf, and this texmf doesn't include stuff needed for metafont so the dvi->pdf stage will fail miserably if you use others.
If you want to add metafont support you probably need to install awk. There's an .ipk for it somewhere.
I know nothing about a) unix b) latex c) the zaurus d) anything else so this is probably inept. Please flame adk@comlab.ox.ac.uk.

Instructions

Download texmf.tar.gz and extract the files to wherever you want your texmf tree to go. (I put my texmf tree on my compact flash card so I put it in /mnt/cf/texmf but there's probably a more logical place).
Download lib.tar.gz and extract it to somewhere where libs go, e.g. /usr/lib.
Download bin.tar.gz and extract it to somewhere where binaries go, e.g. /usr/bin (or create /usr/bin/tex and add that to the path). If space is short, you only seem to need the files "tex" and "dvipdfm".
Make a link from latex to tex in the same directory. chmod +x those binaries.
Finally, download texmf_cnf.tar.gz, extract it to somewhere where texmf.cnf can be found by the tex programs (I had trouble with this, and ended up having to put it in /usr/bin, which surely isn't right. Anyone want to tell me how to get tex to find it in texmf/web2c/?).
Edit the TEXMFMAIN= line in texmf.cnf to wherever your texmf tree went.

That's it (I already created the fmt files). Decide where to put your tex files, latex and dvipdfm them, then move the results pdf into Documents/application/pdf for viewing. I'll probably make a script so that the "compile" command in minide does that.

Remember you only have the cm fonts (I think that includes the maths symbols though, doesn't it, in cmsym?)

Problems:

Both Opera and qpdf refuse to make use of the embedded type 1 fonts, substituting their own naff-looking ones instead. They don't render the symbols at all. (The pdf files created on the Zaurus look just fine on my desktop, viewed with acroread.) Any help with getting that fixed would be very welcome.
I can't get pdftex to work, it seems to need "libstdc++-glibc-some-version-I-forget" which doesn't seem to be available compiled for arm. Maybe I need to take a deep breath and cross-compile. But maybe there's an alternative?
