Hi Raffaele, |
| 2 |
"Gentoo Cross Development Guide" is deprecated in favour of Gentoo Embedded |
| 3 |
project, which so far seems to suit my needs. I had a quick look on |
| 4 |
CodeSourcery's products a few days ago, but in freely available version they |
| 5 |
don't seem to offer me more than toolchain compiled with crossdev. Maybe I'm |
| 6 |
wrong and if I'll get stuck I'll give them a go. AFAIK the biggest |
| 7 |
disadvantage of crossdev-created toolchain, compared to other cross |
| 8 |
compilation tools, is that without usage of emulator (like qemu-user) it is |
| 9 |
not possible to compile things that use in their configure scipts checks |
| 10 |
that need to be run on the target architecture (like Perl). |
| 11 |
Sticking to arm-none-linux-gnueabi-emerge offers quite a lot of comfort so |
| 12 |
far, so I'll see where I can get. |
| 13 |
Thanks for your tips! |
