I believe I did provide a complete list of the changes required to compile uClinux with this other, i.e. Codesourcery, toolchain and you did say that you think it is the toolchain that has to be changed. What did I miss ? Please note that people new to uClinux are most likely to use Codesourcery toolchain, rather than 2007 one from uClinux web site. P.S. I'm not here to blame anybody, but rather try to make uClinux better. It did take me some time, a few days to be exact, to find and summarize the solutions to all the issues with these other toolchain. > >Regards >Greg > > >------------------------------------------------------------------------ >Greg Ungerer -- Principal Engineer EMAIL: g...@snapgear.com >SnapGear Group, McAfee PHONE: +61 7 3435 2888 >825 Stanley St, FAX: +61 7 3891 3630 >Woolloongabba, QLD, 4102, Australia WEB: http://www.SnapGear.com >_______________________________________________ >uClinux-dev mailing list >uClinux-dev@uclinux.org >http://mailman.uclinux.org/mailman/listinfo/uclinux-dev >This message was resent by uclinux-dev@uclinux.org >To unsubscribe see: >http://mailman.uclinux.org/mailman/options/uclinux-dev _______________________________________________ uClinux-dev mailing list uClinux-dev@uclinux.org http://mailman.uclinux.org/mailman/listinfo/uclinux-dev This message was resent by uclinux-dev@uclinux.org To unsubscribe see: http://mailman.uclinux.org/mailman/options/uclinux-dev
