Hi, Kevin,
Can someone point me to some info to learn how to setup cross
compilers? Is it a little easier if I am just building the compiler
itself?
Go to http://ymorin.is-a-geek.org/projects/crosstool (there is new,
albeit unfinished web site for the same tool - http://crosstool-ng.org/)
- the newest version is 1.10.1 as far as I know. I went through this
process just recently (using x86_64 system to cross-compile/build code
for 603e and his big brother - G5) and without the help of that tool I
would have been, simply put, dead in the water!
There is also a mailing list available (which I have no doubt you will
find from the web site the link to which I provided above) -
crossgcc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Good luck!
Lack of experience doing cross stuff ... Guess I'll take a stab at it ...
Same here - I've got a lot of experience with programming (on different
levels/platform), but building cross-compilation toolchain was something
new to me. It is not easy (the learning curve might be a bit steep at
times), but in the end, I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it as I
learned a lot from it.
