just an idea:
What one could do, is building some sort of target-Filesystem and do a
chroot into that system. Then the compiler has to be changed to your
cross-compile-toolchain and some of the flags in make.conf have to be
changed. After that, a simple emerge in the chrooted environmen should
create all the needed stuff and cross-compile it for the specified
architecture.
Actually, this is pretty much what I'm doing already but I want to
wrap the process in a UI which will have issues with a chrooted
environment.
Thanks for the reply.
Well, I want to be able to put together a Gentoo system but not to use
Gentoo to do it, if that's remotely possible. I rather like, for
cross-building a system, the Pengutronix ptxdist stuff. So, I can VERY
easily use that to build all the normal Linux portions of a system, it's
the Gentoo-specific parts (the stuff in /etc, and Portage, I *think*
that;'s all) that I need to get built, and I don't even have a list of
what the names of the pieces are, much less any idea where toget the
sources from.
To be honst, from the Gentoo side of things, I'm pretty much at sea on
this. No idea how to even begin, although I know software well enough.
Could you give me any ideas what the general path ahead of me is? At
the moment, I'm lookiing at a very messy job of trying to figure out the
portions of my Pentium system will just copy over, and that seems
incredibly wrong to try. There has to be some central archive with
Gentoo code somewhere, isn't there?
