We're evaluating to build an embedded system on powerpc e500v2 (=powerpcspe) architecture. We made some tests using binary powerpcspe sid from debian-ports (http://wiki.debian.org/PowerPCSPEPort) and would like to proceed. Actually our major concern is that the actual powerpcspe port is based on sid/unstable which is no good base for a commercial product.
For this reason we want to try to build the a powerpcspe port from source based on a stable debian release (e.g. squeeze) and i'm looking for some hints to get started. Can someone please give me some hints on how to (cross)build the debian packages? I'm pretty sure that there exists a simple debian command which will work for most of the packages. We could assume that a properly configured cross-compiler is available, e.g. we use "make ARCH=powerpc CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/codesourcery/bin/powerpc-linux-gnu-" to build the kernel. Otherwise any hints on dealing with cross compiling are also welcome. Thanks in advance, Rüdiger
