I went to the site (http://www.linux-mips.org/wiki/Toolchains > Pre-built/Build Kits ).. Downloaded the following tools-binutils-2.16.1-gcc-4.1.0-gdb-6.4And followed the installation instruction as described there. First installed binutils successfully. But got follwing error while doing make -j2 in the process of installing gcc-4.1.c:

Then i searched through the net for the procedure and found one
like this:../configure --with-system-zlib --libexecdir=/usr/lib
--prefix=/usr/local/gcc-4.0.2 --enable-shared --with-arch=sb1
--with-tune=sb1 --without-included-gettext --enable-nls
--program-suffix=-4.0.2 --enable-__cxa_atexit
--enable-libstdcxx-allocator=mt --with-target=mips64-linuxI tried with this also but did not work. Again big list of errors. Then searched for more and it seems that i need to have glibc. So i downleded glibc-2.16.1 also.
Now don't know where to start. Let me make u clear that I am new to this. Getting hard to figure out problems. can anyone please tell me theexact procedure or let me know where i can find the correct reference for the tools needed doing all the stuffs from making a cross compiler for sb1 (BCM1480) and then cross compiling kernel 2.6.14.Thanks and Regards,Krishna
There is a lot of information in the wiki http://www.linux-mips.org/ and
I would like to encourage people to contribute to it. Editing a wiki
page _once_ is more productive than answering the same question again
and again ... In particular I also want to encourage the mere mortals
to contribute to the wikis.
