I am new to the scratchbox environment which was suggested to me as a
way be able to cross compiling the Mono project for my target CPU. I
have read the documentation for installing and using scratchbox, but
I am confused about the selection of a CPU-transparency
method. Maybe a more seasoned scratchbox user could help me out.
I followed the "Installing Scratchbox" document found on the
scratchbox web site. This document is slightly dated, but I could
find nothing newer. I followed the section 2.2.2 instructions for
"Installing Scratchbox On Other Linux Distributions" and installed
the following tar balls:
scratchbox-core-1.0.7-i386.tar.gz
scratchbox-libs-1.0.7-i386.tar.gz
scratchbox-toolchain-arm-gcc3.3-glibc2.3-1.0.1-i386.tar.gz
I was not entirely sure which tar files to use, but the document
entitled "Cross-Compiling Tutorial With Scratchbox" found on the web
site suggests these would be a good choice. Once installed I
followed the steps to create the sbox group and created a user for
scratchbox. I then started up scratchbox and attemptted to setup a
target using the sb-menu. When I get to the "Select CPU-transparency
method" dialog the only option shown is "none."
The documents suggest that I do not need to do anything else but
clearly something is missing. I tried downloading and installing the
scratchbox-devkit-cputransp-1.0.1-i386.tar.gz file, but this made no
difference.
Can someone please point me to what I am doing wrong or what document
describes this installation method better so that I can get it to
work? The documents make it seem very easy, but clearly there is
something not described or some pre-condition not being met that I do
not understand.
