Hi Matti, thanks for your reply! :) crosscompiling is a pain. I tried several ways to do that (distcc was among them) and it fails too often, for two reasons: Often the sources are not prepared to be crosscompiled an include headers of my PC (64bit) into the build of my ARM boards (32bit). Second reason: If the crosscompilation needs meta-tools like moc for qt it fails too. The time to fiddle out that mess is nothing what I have... ;) Ethernet over USB: 1.) For each update I have to rearrange my setup here then. Back and forth. Back and forth... 2.) The DSL modem is running longer than needed. I dont like the idea to have my internet connection running over such a long time unattended. The problem must be solved in software. Best regards, Meino
