Re: [gentoo-embedded] Building packages

[Christopher Friedt]

Hi Tim,

You may have already gotten past this point, but in order to start
building packages for the OpenMoko, the right place to start off with
is a cross-compiler.

I have a cross-compiler pre-built for i686, which you can install with:

PORTAGE_BINHOST=http://vaiprime.visibleassets.com/~cfriedt/toolchains/i686-pc-linux-gnu/arm-softfloat-linux-gnueabi/All
\
emerge -avG1 cross-arm-softfloat-linux-gnueabi/{binutils,linux-headers,gcc,glibc}

You should then

emerge sys-devel/crossdev-wrapper

Remember to set FEATURES="buildpkg" in
/usr/arm-softfloat-linux-gnueabi/etc/make.conf so that whenever you
build something, the binary tbz2 package is created as well.

Also, if you are going to cross-compile glibc, then use the -B
argument to emerge, otherwise it will overwrite your cross-toolchain
libc in /usr/arm-softfloat-linux-gnueabi.

Cheers,

Chris
