I wrote those notes quite a long time ago. Later on we Eelco Dolstra and I spent some time to properly set up some cross compilation environments, but we did not spend more time on it than a good afternoon/evening. One of the main concerns is building libstdc++ for a cross environment. The way we pass some linker flags around right now breaks compilation of libstdc++, since we link against libraries for the wrong architecture. It is quite complex to untangle the generated Makefile, but it would be worth it. Once I (finally) will get some time to dig into OpenWrt again I will look into setting up cross chains with Nix. There are already quite some tools I grabbed from OpenWrt here and there and more are coming soon. armijn -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.uulug.nl/ | UULug: Utrecht Linux Users Group --------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.cs.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
