The most beneficial advice I can probably offer is to check out Jacques' "Developing and using LEAF in a virtual environment"[1]. It is a great description of using a user-mode linux kernel to setup a virtual development machine. Much easier, IMO, than running a dedicated slink system. You might also want to read Dave Douthitt's "LEAF/LRP Developer's Guide"[2]. > For the Debian/Slink environment, what kernel version, GCC version. glibc > version, etc? Real developers, please correct me if I mis-speak... The kernel version of the development machine should not matter for most (all?) development. To compile newer kernels, I believe you'll need gcc 2.95 or better. I'm not sure how much it matters for compiling non-kernel code but I would venture to guess that 2.95 or better is probably a good idea. Unless you plan to upgrade your leaf system to glibc 2.1[3], which is easily do-able if you are booting from compact flash, you'll want to link against glibc 2.0: >From a bering rc2 initrd.lrp: [root@brad-nb brad]# ls /mnt/initrd/lib/* /mnt/initrd/lib/ld-2.0.7.so* /mnt/initrd/lib/libc-2.0.7.so /mnt/initrd/lib/ld-linux.so.2@ /mnt/initrd/lib/libc.so.6@ Hope that helps get you started. --Brad [1] http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/jnilo/uml.html [2] http://leaf.sourceforge.net/pub/doc/guide/developer.rtf [3] http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=1567978 _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas -- http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html
