I'm simply trying to offload compiling from my ancient, underpowered |
| 11 |
netbook (14 hours to build seamonkey!!!) to my desktop. I'd like to be |
| 12 |
able to transparently run "emerge" from the netbook, have the desktop |
| 13 |
machine do the grunt work, and install the compiled binaries and |
| 14 |
associated /etc/* files on the netbook. This assumes both machines are |
| 15 |
connected on my home LAN. |

Since you mentioned arm architectures, it's ironic that the wiki |
| 18 |
crossdev instructions now point to the embedded cross-compiler site |
| 19 |
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/embedded/handbook/ |

|
| 21 |
I've followed the instructions chapter 2 for installing crossdev and |
| 22 |
it appears to work. Note that my desktop machine is a 64-bit install... |
