Joost,

Unless told otherwise, OE will generate the proper cross compilation
environment for you prior to building your first package.  I always
run "bitbake nano" as my first bitbake task, ad the nano package is
preceded by tons of native and cross tool creation.

There are methods to override this cross compilation step, using the
ASSUME_PROVIDED mechanisms, but for most OE systems this is not
needed.

Of course, you will need to have a compiler on your system in order to
generate the cross compiler, etc, but that is covered in the  setup
documentation.

Hope that helps!
