Hi, there is a problem with a toolchain for SHR-U: in SHR-unstable eglibc and gcc changes really often. If one of those changes the whole toolchain needs to be recompiled, because every lib needs to be build with the current eglibc and gcc version to run properly. In this case you would have to download a new toolchain about every week, because of that there is no toolchain for SHR-U. So to build an app for SHR-u you have to set up a bitbake enviroment like discribt in [1] and then create a recipe for your app like discribet in [2]. But this is a long process, it needs about 10 hours on my PC (2,8GHz core2duo, 8Gb ram) and downloads about 15Gb of data, so a more powerfull machine then your laptop would be good. If you don't have another PC you can come to the #openmoko-devel IRC channel, perhaps we can find a solution for you.
