[Dorset] Cross development [was Re: Which distro would you install?]
Hi Bob On 24/09/10 08:38, Bob Dunlop wrote: For hardcore embedded systems programming there's really no choice, Gentoo all the way. No other system lets you set up an entire cross development tool chain and library for a custom target with a single command. I've currently got six cross development environments installed on my work machine and a further three at home. Deleting them is likewise a single command so I only keep the current working set. That's interesting. I'm now at the end of week two setting up a gcc/Newlib toolchain for m68k (on Debian). Most of the pain has been in figuring out how to avoid Newlib's I/O and reentrancy overhead, for very memory-constrained targets, but the initial build sequence wasn't straightforward either. How would I do this with Gentoo? Cheers Tim -- Next meeting: Bournemouth?

How would I do this with Gentoo? Well in theory it's simply: crossdev --stable --target m68k-elf--newlib or similar. Unfortunatly I've just tried it and it barfs while trying to build newlib. I've not used m68k in 10 years and have never used newlib, can you give me a valid Gcc target tuple to use and I'll try it again. -- Bob Dunlop -- Next meeting: Bournemouth?
