The i586 arch is only an example for the how-to. Any x86 after i386 should work fine (i386, i486, i586, i686), just change the GCC arch type in /etc/make.conf.
I'm not a programmer, just an hardware engineer, but I have done some light programing and I have found QT to be the easier tool kit to use. One interesting thing about embedded QT is that the GUI can talk directly to a framebuffer, thus avoiding X and make your memory and storage "footprint" much smaller. If you want to close source your application, QT can be expensive. -- heath holcomb bulah.com On 8/29/07, wireless <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Heath Holcomb wrote: > > See this how-to for x86 stuff : > > http://www.bulah.com/embeddedgentoo.html > > Hello Heath, > > OK this looks like what I'm looking for. > > > Questions: > This example is for the i586, as we have several of those to work > with.
