I am going into doing a bit of compiling on my Zaurus. I have both a

besides them, and in fact, all of my source directories (sources for
/usr/src and /usr/ports) are remotely mounted from my FreeBSD box (sept
is my Zaurus, april my FreeBSD, and june my Linux box).
What am I getting on about? Well, compilation, as I now do it, ssh'd
into sept from april (the FreeBSD box). Is there anything that anyone
else is doing, that they're actually gotten to work?
I'm wondering about doing maybe a cross-compiler. I'm not sure about
the spec of the floating point work, you need to get that precisely
right. If anyone is doing this successfukky, I sure would like to hear
a report about it. It takes me about 2 days to do a /usr/src build.
Shouldn't take two days. NFS mount your /usr/src and /usr/obj and it
will go much faster.
The CF card is something like 5MB/s on mine.
Don't cross compile, you'll spend more time finding bugs that were
snuck in than you will have saved. Buy a more powerful arm computer,
like a Thecus :)
