@arne anka: as Steffen said qemubuilder is not a crosscompiling setup, but native compiling on a virtual system. Cross-compiling would be if you have an x86-compiler, which generates armel bytecode. In qemubuilder you have an emulator and an armel-compiler generating armel bytecode. Crosscompiling is much faster than qemubuilder, but some packages may not build correctly (e.g. when they try to test the application by running it) Apart from this I have a qemubuilder setup on an amd64 box - It exists since Mai 2008 actually :D s...@mars ~ % cat /etc/armelrc ARCH=armel MEMORY_MEGS=256 KERNEL_IMAGE=/var/cache/pbuilder/armel/vmlinuz-2.6.24-1-versatile BASEPATH=/var/cache/pbuilder/armel/base.qemu MIRRORSITE=http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian DISTRIBUTION=sid s...@mars ~ % ls -lh /var/cache/pbuilder/armel/ insgesamt 802M -rw------- 1 root root 3,1G 15.
