2007/6/4, Erik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Hi! I am trying to build an embedded system for my Arm 9-based (S3C2410) Acer N30. I have been using Gentoo a few years and is comfortable with it rather than with OpenEmbeded or other tools. I aim for Opie or preferable Qtopia.
Select gcc/glibc versions carefully. It seems, that for arm5 there is no stable combination, which would support EABI. Crosscompiled binaries work somehow, but tend to crash. Native compilation works much better. And not all packages can be crosscompiled. I have been trying to understund how to setup a Arm-system on my
X86/Amd64 as a subdirectory and build stuff without doing a emulated chrooted environment where builds take place. My biggest concern is not the crosscompiler tools (crossdev is easy) but the environment and void messing with my real system. I can guest but just for sure, what impact has the PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT and ROOT variables? Is it possible to point out a directory as root and another location of the make.conf? How do I properly set CHOST, ARCH and other flags in the make.conf? How do a correctly point out the preferred compiler? As was asked before, are there any written guides or How-To's? Regards, Erik
