Hello,
I would like to run nut 2.6.1 on an embeeded machine ( arm9 )
running linux and uclibc. A working gcc tool chain came with the
board.
How can I compile and build nut using the cross compiler tool chain ?
Is the toolchain self-hosted? That is, can you run gcc on the board
itself? (IMHO that is usually the easiest way to cross-compile.)
I know that this is not a very specific question. I have however
little experience with cross compiling, and I wonder where to start.
A logical point would be the configure script. It however does not
find the cross compiler, and I have now idea how to tell the
configure script where to look for the cross compiler....
It's probably easiest to help you if you copy-and-paste some error
messages that you are getting, because there are probably hundreds of
ways to do this. But here's how to cross-compile NUT for Win32:
./configure --host=i586-mingw32msvc
The "i586-mingw32msvc" string is the prefix for the cross-compiler.
You might have a file like "arm9-eabi-none-gcc" (which should be
somewhere in $PATH), so in that case I think you would use "--
host=arm9-eabi-none".
