> during the development of slackedarm did you use slackbuilds? Yes but also a lot was done manually because some things won't build without other dependencies, so you need to build them differently (usually without a particular feature) to build bootstrap versions of them, then package by package recompile everything over and over until you can use the slackbuilds without modification.

To build the native (ARM) GCC did you > use the GCC version provided with slackware sources? Check the armedslack-current/source/d/gcc directory and the gcc.SlackBuild. You'll find the patches I've applied in there. There's no gcc source in the armedslack tree because armedslack is built "against" the x86_64 source tree. This is described in armedslack-current/source/README.TXT After you've looked at the gcc.SlackBuild script, perhaps you could build your compiler natively on armedslack? I can't think of any reason it won't work, off the top of my head. -- Stuart Winter Slackware ARM: www.armedslack.org _______________________________________________ ARMedslack mailing list [email protected] http://lists.armedslack.org/mailman/listinfo/armedslack
