Did not yet checked which options exist. Probably mingw runtime will be used but my goal is to provide self-contained tarball. > 2) Will Linaro test the toolchains on Red Hat Enterprise?

CentOS 5.6 is one of distributions which I have in VirtualBox locally. Tarball for this system will have to contain lot of native Ubuntu libraries probably or will have to find other way to build for it. > I'm also interested in how users get/work with sysroots, especially > for the Windows case, but I understand that that's an issue for a > future release cycle. For now it is /opt/linaro/gcc-DATE/sysroot/ where users can unpack one of sysroot tarballs they want. I built minimalistic one (libc6-dev) for now and it passed compilation of helloworld.c which was a goal for first step. Will use linaro-hwpack-create or multistrap to generate sysroot archives. _______________________________________________ linaro-dev mailing list linaro-dev@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-dev
