Hey.... Thanks for the reply... So to be able to build a mips r4000 cross compiler on cygwin, I need to first compile binutils for my target machine... Are there any other steps I need to do... I took a look at that cross tool thing, and I am yet to comprehend how that is supposed to help me :S... I'd really appreciate it if someone could list the steps I need to do in order to be able to build a cross compiler successfully... I'm still a novice at this, so I need all the help I can get... Thank all... Ousama Rawas. On 01 Aug 2005 04:59:10 -0700, Ian Lance Taylor <ian@xxxxxxxx> wrote: > Ousama Rawas <orawas@xxxxxxxxx> writes: > > > Hello...
