Should be rather straightforward: - Add the sources.list line mentioned in the repository to your /etc/apt/sources.list, for debian/stable that's: deb http://people.debian.org/~ths/toolchain/current etch/ - apt-get update - apt-get install gcc-4.1-mips-linux-gnu - In your www.linux-mips.org source tree, compile with e.g. make CROSS_COMPILE=mips-linux-gnu- oldconfig make CROSS_COMPILE=mips-linux-gnu- all Thiemo
