Sure thing.

What's important for cross assembling your own images is that qemu is reasonably up to date. Lucid is getting fairly old now. Speaking for myself I haven't built anything on lucid for some time. > I can switch to an Ubuntu 12.04 Server VM; but for cross-builds, it > shouldn't make much difference. I think this would be worthwhile looking into. >> That said, are you running this native on arm hardware or cross on intel? > > I am trying to do a cross-build using the Linaro toolchain. Ok. One thing to note. When using live build it doesn't actually build the packages, it just assembles images. It uses .debs which are found in all the various archives (including your own) to accomplish this. >> If cross, here's what I do : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TomGall/CrossBuild > > It worries me that your instructions are not merged with the Linaro > wiki. Is there some good reason for this? I'm a former Linaro assignee from IBM. The instructions also live here: https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/DevPlatform/CrossCompile/LiveBuild (which I also wrote). I don't know if I will get to keep my wiki.linaro.org space yet, but if I do, then I'll keep the master copy on the linaro wiki and copy from my latest draft version to the official wiki as the Linaro. So that's the reason. It'll get sorted out very soon. >> If native steps are pretty much the same.
