I honestly don't know what the point of my own website is, other then I stick tidbits on there I have found useful (sortof like a public manual for things that I tinker with)..
I have been studying cross platform development, and I put up a list of all the cross compilers I have built/used. No clue if anyone else would find this useful, but wouldn't mind a few eyes there. x86_64-w64-mingw32, a 32bit/64bit linux to windows cross compiler - Mostly copied from the site itself, and seems fairly stable (I should update the snapshot) i686-pc-mingw32, a 32bit linux to windows cross compiler - I used it before I found out mingw64 existed, left on the site as it was a working toolchain... x86_64-apple-darwin10, a linux to OSX cross compiler - spent months (over the last couple years) trying to find all the parts I needed to get this working (and succeeded about 3 days ago). I get the sense this is not a target that is widely used out there, and not sure how "correct" my solution was. Ran into some of the same problems that LFS had with gcc-pass1 in chapter 5. i586-pc-msdosdjgpp, a linux to dos (w/ 32bit extensions) cross compiler - Not sure if I'd use this if I did get it working, but about 5-8 years ago I put a lot of research into this. Added it to the page if I ever decided to look into it again (although it "segfaults" when I try to use it). Never did track down the failure yet. now to get all of my packaging research on a page... finding tools that can make .msi files, or .dmg, and proper icon creation has been scattered across the web [wix.sf.net, dmg2img, png2icns, libdmg-hfsplus, the fact that mkisofs can create a readonly dmg, e.t.c] -- Nathan Coulson (conathan) ------ Location: British Columbia, Canada Timezone: PST (-8) Webpage: http://www.nathancoulson.com -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-chat FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
