My two cents... you are probably better off installing a minimal development environment inside a VM on the Mac. Just last week i was trying to do the same thing but there's no decent compiler that i could locate. For starters you could use prebuilt one that's available on the link above but at some point you'll need a newer one and then you might get stuck in the same state. I gave crosstool-ng a shot but it didn't work for some reason. In the end i decided the time debugging crosstool-ng errors was not really how i wanted to spend my time on the project that i am supposed to be doing. So right now what i have a VM with Xubuntu which has the Linaro toolchain and openssh installed and i just ssh to it. If Xcode lets you ssh then you could explore that but i am prefer a minimal setup (if this one qualified ;) and the one i have right now seems to do just fine, Regards, Vaibhav -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
