Hello,
I've just started setting up and arm-linux development system and, surprise surprise have a few questions! I'm pretty new to debian - last time I did all of this it was under redhat and I just built the toolchains directly from source.
To date, I've been getting the toolchain set up using the instructions at:
http://people.debian.org/~debacle/cross.html
This has mostly worked quite well. However, I did hit a few problems:
- I was unable to get c++ to build
- We would rather use newlib than libc, but it was unclear as to what I had to do to get this working.
For now I've just built gcc 3.3.3 using libc and c only. This seems to work in that it can compile the linux kernel (2.6.7) - absolutely no idea if it works though.
In perusing the archives for this list it looks like there's lots of excellent work going on with regards to getting standard cross-dev toolchains set up. What is the status with these regarding stability? I would much rather use something that is known to be stable (and configured by a professional)!
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
Shannon
