Could be, but it doesn't have to be if there are other things that are
complicated to build and use.

Yip, but I'd like something that someone can read and run; and that we
can update and make releases of.  The wiki does make things easy to
find - perhaps these should also be mirrored up to the wiki for
reference?

 Is that a Linaro Toolchain cookbook?

 Othewise, it sounds much like the HowTo tab on wiki.linaro.org:
 https://wiki.linaro.org/Resources/HowTo
 https://wiki.linaro.org/CategoryHowTo

 In any I feel your efforts could definitely be part of the HowTos :-)

Starting a cookbook

2011-03-27 Thread Michael Hope
Hi there.  I'd like to start an official Linaro cookbook that has
recipes on how to build and use the various Linaro outputs.  This
cookbook would answer questions such as 'how do I build Linaro GCC
from source?' and could be expanded into others.

I'm thinking of having a concise Makefile for each of the interesting
uses.  The Makefiles would be executable documentation - something
that you can read and understand the steps, and also run to get a
valid output.  They should be correct but very focused so, for
example, a broken download would be detected but make force a 'make
clean' instead of adding another line to the script.

I currently have a single stage cross GCC against the Linaro sysroot,
a bare metal cross GCC (unsupported), and a fancy cross GCC that works
against the Debian/Ubuntu ARM, PowerPC, and MIPS sysroots.  This would
be an official Linaro product and would be updated with each monthly
release.

Thoughts?  What scripts do people have tucked away that I could tidy
up and publish?
