As you seem quite unexperienced I would recommend using Dan Kegel's crosstool at www.kegel.com/crosstool. And if you really need help after trying that or reading up on resources, we will need a more detailed description of your problem. Error output, versions, procedure you are using, etc.... You do realize that the --without-headers option is broken from gcc-3.2.x onwards....? regards, Philippe | Philippe De Swert | | Stag developer http://stag.mind.be/ | Emdebian developer: http://www.emdebian.org | | Please do not send me documents in a closed | format.(*.doc,*.xls,*.ppt) | Use the open alternatives.
