If you want to cross compile for an embedded Linux board, have a look at buildroot. With this tool you can build the whole userspace environment to get a shell running. good luck, matthias -- --- http://motzblog.wordpress.com/ _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
