Jerome, Sorry I didn't understand what you want, or complain about that page. Feel free to edit and add what you think is important. I can only write about things I know, and understand. That tip about Linaro toolchain was very good thanks, I will take a look. The wiki is for anyone, from anyone. So add your way, so people can know of.
Willian, I feel the same way, I just want to build my kernel, boot and use. I'm not a expert, I'm a newbie, so I need first a easier and faster way to get where I want. For me, what I know about crosstool-ng is that you can choose many variables and build a perfect compiler for you, using uLibc, gLibc what ever you need. And I don't see yet why "In that case perhaps crosstool-ng may be the way to go." . What I'm missing in this case ? What crosstool-ng is so much better than a preconfigured gcc from ubuntu servers ? I really want to write about crosstool-ng, but I need more time. That page was a result of LFD411 - Embedded Linux Development, that was awesome. And now that I know of Linaro toolchain I will this information there too, but I need time to try myself and write a good tutorial. Thanks! -- Lucas A.
