Hi Raffaele, how far did you get with compiling rootfs? Do you have complete gentoo installation including kernel compiled for ARM? Would it be possible to make vmdk/any other image for Qemu in which it could be run? I guess it would ease quite many things...
As for my progress: I found out that patches from Cross directory does not work, but configure script has some options for cross compilation so I wrote ebuild with different parameters for perl Configure script. It assumes that you have ARM machine ready on network and with ssh daemon running - it uses ssh to transfer cross compiled binaries, run them remotely and uses the output to continue compiling on host pc. I had no problem with establishing that, but configure script still tries to run few binaries compiled for ARM on my x64 host machine. Fight continues! Stay tuned :) Peter 2011/10/14 Raffaele BELARDI <raffaele.bela...@st.com> > On 10/14/2011 01:14 PM, czernitko wrote: > > Hello! > > I started playing a little bit with cross compilation for ARM > > architecture.
