how-to build a crosstoolchain:gcc, binutils, glibc, ...

[xmit]

I was able to execute a simple "hello world!" C program build with the crosstools described on kegel-crosstool


I used the script "demo-arm-xscale.sh" and changed the eval... line to "eval `cat arm-xscale.dat gcc-3.4.4-glibc-2.3.5.dat` sh all.sh --notest" to build the tool chain (the default failed to build)

"hello world" worked out of the box, next I have to try something more difficult, maybe the nano editor.

BTW, the A780 has 291 bogomips (~ pentium II @ 233MHz) and 2.5MB free RAM of 47.6MB. Not bad.

moved to the correct forum. there already is a toolchain though, marcus.bluetroll.se/e680. Im not totally sure if it works for a780 though, but i guess it does since what does evaldas compile with otherwise?
ps the links gives a 404

I fixed the link, thanks.

of course, A780 and E680/i hardware is the same except some addon devices which doesn't affect compatibility. actually i don't remember which tools were used to compile toolchains since i've had bunch of them during last 2 months, but i guess it was built using marcus directions.
btw i've even heard that one guy flashed a780 fw to e680 and was able to start the phone

xmit bogomips is not the way to measure processor speed. for me sometimes it's useful to compare two identical systems

Hi All,

Me tooo!! I was able to generate a Toolchain!! Hello World works on Phone..

Was wondering whether anybody would shared with a copy of Kernel config file .config so that I can try compiling the kernel modules for my A780..

Thanks
