I also have a 64 bits cpu (core2 duo) and i also compiled from source. But i really would like to have a package for that. And even more, a new version because the svn source code has several fixes. imho, it is worth having a 0.52 version. > The steps I followed were: > > - download the source package (platform independent) > - extract to a convenient folder > - I used 'su' privileges (though sudo might be ok too) it's only needed for the installation. Otherwise, it's not needed (i have installed cegcc and mingw32ce in $HOME/opt/) Nice doc :) regards Vincent > - run the 'build-cegcc.sh' script located in the cegcc/src folder > - if errors occur, just go through the output carefully to locate any > packages, which may not be present on your machine (I had to install 'bison' > and 'flex' using the usual 'apt-get install' command) > - IMPORTANT! before running the build script again, remove the 'build' > folder that was created in the 'src' folder during the initial failed build > attempt.
