debian-installer -> cross-compile to armel?
All,
I'm attempting to following the instructions at [1] to build a netboot
kernel and initrd for the dreamplug. Unfortunately, I'm unable to
replicate what the build server seems to be able to do [2], cross-build
debian-installer images. There are several old (2005) discussions about
it being difficult. Hopefully, those issues have been resolved in the
past 6 years :-) But I don't see any evidence of it...
installer/build/daily-build doesn't seem to have any cross magic in it.
What am I missing?
In the end, I'd like to be able to do the same as here[3] for the
dreamplug instead of the guruplug. Then, a preseed for the freedombox
should be easy.
I need to build my own because I need to roll a custom kernel using the
new dreamplug mach-type, and my patch [4].
thx,
Jason.
