Annoying discovery... crossdev is picky about the syntax... crossdev -S -t i686-pc-linux-gnu ...builds the latest stable toolchain, which is currently gcc 4.8.3 crossdev -t -S i686-pc-linux-gnu ...does not complain about any errors... but it builds the absolute latest toolchain, which is currently gcc 4.9.2 :( -- Walter Dnes <[email protected]> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
