Greetings,
I've been working on bringing up the ARM Linux kernel on a custom system.
This effort has been successful, and I can boot a basic RAM disk image
(loaded from ROM) with /bin/sh linked to /sbin/init, and run small programs.
I'd like to install a smallish-sized set of standard applications and
tools on the system. However, due to connectivity and space constraints,
it's impractical for me to actually build any SW on the target machine.
Unfortunately, I also don't have access to another ARM-based systems.
Are there well-known tricks to cross-compile any of the standard
distributions for ARM Linux on an Intel-based Linux machine? It seems
to me that my options are to either:
1. Pull together pre-compiled binaries out of an existing distribution
and reorganize them to get just the applications I need.
2. Hack up the configure scripts and Makefiles in the source code or SRPMS
for an existing distribution so that they compile binaries using the
linux-arm cross development versions of GCC, glibc, etc.
If there's a better way to do this that will save me some time, that
would be great. I assume someone else must have gone through this before.
Regards,
John Sullivan
