eglibc is just a fork of glibc...A few years back the maintainers of glibc didn't care about secondary arch's such as "arm", but in the last couple years that's changed. Debian switched back to "glibc", and it is the default for Debian 8 Jessie.. > If I don't use eglibc, I probably can build the toolchain, but I'm not sure > how that will work out in the longrun? > Is it possible that I can build a distro for my BBB that uses glibc instead? > I saw that I can build the kernel in FAQ section, but I'm not sure about all > the other drivers and such for peripherals? > Are there any plans for beaglebone to migrate to a distro that uses glibc > instead of eglibc, or is this a non-issue? > > Meanwhile, I keep attempting to build a cross-compile toolchain for eclipse. > > Yes, I have a virtual machine for Ubuntu 14.10... but that's not the > point... the VM can really slow my machine down, so I'd rather just work > under Mac if possible. > > Any suggestions or topics you might have for building a cross-compile > toolchain for Mac OS X would also be appreciated. > Regards, -- Robert Nelson http://www.rcn-ee.com/ -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
