Greetings folks
im currently a arm user and have a armv7l build im expanding this to arm8
and am bootstraping a build currently patching as i go the linaro
repositories are a
great resource [thanks for the fish], once i proceed further ill feedback.
i abandoned the "foundation" and have now loaded qemu from git and using
the linux-user bits for a "hybrid" chroot build.
besides it been a bit slow all builds are done in the method i explain
bellow and
wanted to have it all in one.
once you have a base cross toolchain [binutils/gcc/glibc] place them all in
sysroot allong with libs/bins from host [in my case x86_64] for common tasks
getttext/make/bash/..... configure binfmt_misc mount the sysroot onto
/usr/gnemul. this allows execution of programs while "building" and allows
chrooting into the sysroot and running the build cross [x86_64] for the
host [aarch64] native will be [aarch64].
problem children like perl and python build out the box now [chroot].
There some qemu errors trying to chroot build with "waf" [samba/python]
when chrooting but it does build "cross".
expect some updates and leaching off the repositories.
any one interested in further info or has comments please shout.
Greg
