 Why?

xenoscope is not even able to open a window as apparently it goes somewhere 
into a recursion. I do not know however how to debug it.

Hi

xeno.sim.patch contains some clarification on how to build the xenoscope. (GCC 
3.4 worked for me on a x86 system, but with a lot of warnings, that fwritable 
is deprecated)


xeno.patch is a shorter way how to cross-compile using the CROSS_COMPILE 
variable. It worked for me without any problems for my board.

Also contains a hint to use O=../a-build-dir to compile the linux kernel.

The CROSS_COMPILE prefix is not used by the configure script of branch
2.1 of Xenomai (though it works with branch 2.0), the --host option of
configure should be used instead.

  Also contains a hint to use O=../a-build-dir to compile the linux kernel.

Maybe this would look more apropriate in section 1.2, entitled Configuring and
building Linux kernel ?

The attached patch, for your review, attempt to reword the paragraph I
had written on cross-compilation, and reflect the last two remarks.
