I have built cross-compilers for the Broadcom BCM1250 using the instructions and patches on the "Linux From Scratch" website. You need to look for the cross-compiler version of their guide, then select "browse online" and finally "mips64" to get to the instructions/patches for building for the 64-bit MIPS platforms. Do NOT use their kernel or kernel patches - use the version in the git repository on linux-mips. I personally use the binutils from CVS, rather than the version they have on their website, but there are no guarantees that their alterations to their MIPS code has fixed bugs or added them. This is NOT a well-tested or well-supported platform, even by (or especially by, in Broadcom's case) the manufacturers. I have the C, C++ and GFortran compilers working. It would appear to be much harder to get ADA to work. I have not tried Objective C or Objective C++. (GFortran is buggy, but efforts to get G95 to compile correctly are so far proving very frustrating. It compiles natively and cross-compiles just fine, but fails to generate valid code on the Broadcom 1250. The compiler does work, as I have got it to work just fine on ix86 systems and it is the recommended Fortran 95 compiler by many organizations I've talked to. Obviously, if you don't have to worry about Fortran, this is a non-issue. For those who do, coaxing G95 to behave with GCC 4.1.x will be an interesting problem.) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
