Hi Matti,
thanks for your reply! :)
crosscompiling is a pain. I tried several ways to do that (distcc was
among them) and it fails too often, for two reasons: Often the sources
are not prepared to be crosscompiled an include headers of my PC
(64bit) into the build of my ARM boards (32bit). Second reason: If the
crosscompilation needs meta-tools like moc for qt it fails too. The
time to fiddle out that mess is nothing what I have... ;)
Ethernet over USB:
1.) For each update I have to rearrange my setup here then. Back and
forth. Back and forth...
2.) The DSL modem is running longer than needed. I dont like the idea
to have my internet connection running over such a long time
unattended.
The problem must be solved in software.
Best regards,
Meino
