I get very confused trying to get started. I have several different X86
machines
and several different linux distributions and several different versions
of gcc
or egcs or whatever and all I really want to know is: Where is everyone
else
launching from these days and what is the best way to build myself a
cross
compiler for an arm system (I realize there are several different chips
and
such). I found Intel's site which said to get binutils-1.0.9 something
and
build it on Red Hat 5.2 but there is no binutils at the place such a
thing is
supposed to be found. So I can't use the cook book stuff from the Intel
site. So where would I get the basic ingredients for this pizza? It
seems
that binutils is now 2.x and the compiler is newer and the whole thing
is
jumping around all over. I have built gcc and g++ and such before and I
build kernels all the time, but I am not a CS grad , or a an
architecture
guru. Will it be possible to locate the basic pieces that actually work
and
play well together? It would seem that I would need these things before
I can build a kernel and such that will run on this arm thing. That is
the
objective: To run a linux system as the primary os on an ARM system,
probably a StrongArm rig if that helps any.
I see that I can say ./configure --cross arm to build a "arm" cross
compiler
in gcc 2.7.2.3 which is the gcc I happen to have the source for right
now.
Should I start there or get some other version?
