I'd like to wander through with a ninja-comment: Aboriginal Linux (http://landley.net/aboriginal/) is a project designed to remove the need to cross-compile by providing a Qemu-ready minimal linux build environment. The project's tagline is: "We cross compile so you don't have to." The project *looks* like a Linux distribution, but it very much isn't. It's a build environment/toolkit for producing binary releases for multiple platforms without having to cross-compile. If this is interesting I'm happy to explore what it would take to get this infrastructure set up for Chicken (Rob Landley is very responsive and certainly accepted patches the last time the issue came up.) Depending on exactly what is being compiled, Mario, it may be a lot of work or it could be a ~day of hacking the correct "control image" to use the Aboriginal Linux parlance for a build script. -Alan -- my personal website: http://c0redump.org/ _______________________________________________ Chicken-hackers mailing list Chicken-hackers@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-hackers
