I would like to join the fun of cross-compiling RPMs. What I have done so far with userland is simply to collect precompiled binaries, and only compiled less than a handful of RPMs natively. So where do I start ? I have started out getting the tarball (ftp://oss.sgi.com/pub/linux/mips/mips-linux/simple/crossdev/cross-all-20010303.tar) and compiled everything on a linux hosted PC, it worked fine, though I had to upgrade from redhat6.1 to redhat7.0. Nice work whoever put this together. Now I would like to start cross compile SRPMs (let say redhat7.0). What do I need to do to make the SRPMS cross compile ? Could someone please get me booted or is there an howto somewhere ? I realize it probably gonna be hard work, but I like to join the fun, at least so I have an idea what exactly the problems are, and hopefully with time I can contribute in the bug fixing. /Carsten "Maciej W.
