Don't worry about any of that. If your host arch is x86 and you are building for another x86 then it's really easy.. Just get the i386 uclibc stage. edit make.conf and set it to i586. run bootstrap.sh then enable FEATURES='buildpkg' in make.conf and just build naively any/everything you want/need. No need to trouble yourself with cross compilers. It will just cause you unnecessary headaches. > > Regards, > Phani > > On Jan 8, 2008 12:53 AM, Matthijs Kooijman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > mkdir /opt/gentoo > > cd /opt/gentoo > > wget -O - -q $SOME_STAGEBALL | tar -jxvf - > > cp /etc/resolv.conf etc/ > > chroot . /bin/bash --login > > emerge --sync > > $EDITOR /etc/make.conf > > emerge crossdev > > crossdev -t XXXXXXXXXXX -options XXXX --more_options XXXX > > I'm using exactly this, but on Debian instead of Fedora.
