hmm, i've had this guide (and helper scripts) for many years: |
| 11 |
http://dev.gentoo.org/~vapier/PORTING-HOWTO |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
but it could do with a bit of a refresh. i guess would also be good to move |
| 14 |
it to the wiki for better visibility. |

make sure your profiles/arch/microblaze/make.defaults has: |
| 22 |
ARCH=microblaze |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
and that your profiles/default/linux/microblaze/parent file loads that |
| 25 |
directory. if you want an example, look at how arm64 is doing things as that |
| 26 |
is the newest Gentoo port currently. |

i'd be happy to merge microblaze into the main tree if you send patches :). |
