Did in the past. We used the Monta Vista toolchain(s) but the source tree was cross-building as 586,arm and Mips64(Cavium). Looked at crosstool but MontaVista provided board support packages which removed a lot of the initial setup pain. We evaluated the GUI tools but ended up with just the toolchain. We basically set a few environmental variables(paths, arch, tools chain variables) and then launched the build. We used a Makefile wrapper on each package to limit the changes needed. I looked at using buildroot with crosstool but by the time I was ready to do this, the project was shutdown (at least for me). _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
