Hopefully, this is not too ignorant a question. But has anyone every built the FreeBSD sources, both kernel and apps, on a linux platform?
I did a google on 'cross-compile freebsd (linux)' and found (mostly) discussions regarding building the linux apps for FreeBSD, but not for building a FreeBSD kernel and world. There was a brief discussion on the mailing list back in 2005, but the poster never reported if he had success or failure. Also, there were discussions about building freebsd amd64 on a freebsd i386. I have done lots of development in linux using cross-compilers (mips embedded systems, powerpc, etc). But not with FreeBSD. I know I'll need to use 'bsdmake' no gnu 'make'. The other worry is kernel-toolchain target. I guess I'll just dive in and swim around and see what happens. Thanks for any pointers, Patrick _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
