Hello, I am new to compiling applications for different architectures like ARMv4. I'd like to compile the "BetaFTPd", a small and fast single-threaded FTP deamon, for the Neo Freerunner. I have only compiled source code within my x86 environment and am not familiar with the prerequesites for compiling source code for different architectures. I already took a look at the openmoko-wiki-page but I am still a little bit confused. I read words like "Toolchain", ".bb-files", MokoMakeFile,...
BetaFTPd has no further dependencies but libgcc1 and is very small (20KB). So what do I need? As far as I understood it I have to get the Toolchain + its needed prerequesites (following the instructions on the wiki->Toolchain) and will then be able to compile my application. So no need for MokoMakeFile or any .bb-file. Am I right or did I miss(interpret) something? Considering the ToolChain: I tried setting it up but I had problems with using "opkg-target" as described in the wiki. There even is no binary called like that after setting up the toolchain. I first installed all by the toolchain needed applications, libraries,.. (as explained in the wiki) with apt-get and then used the following commands on my System (Ubuntu 8.10) to set up the toolchain: bunzip2 openmoko-*-arm-linux-gnueabi-toolchain.tar.bz2 gzip openmoko-*-arm-linux-gnueabi-toolchain.tar fakeroot alien -d openmoko-*-arm-linux-gnueabi-toolchain.tar.gz sudo dpkg -i openmoko_*-arm-linux-gnueabi-toolchain*.deb . /usr/local/openmoko/arm/setup-env export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/openmoko/arm/bin Thanks in advance, Trev -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Compiling-linux-applications-for-the-Freerunner-tp2204869p2204869.html Sent from the Openmoko Devel mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
