Re: Hi, and embedded routers
Hello David,
Apparently I forgot to put enough emphasis on seomething.
Quoting "David N. Welton" <davidw@eidetix.com>:

you are right here, but it is sometimes easy to have a more or less complete
reference that just works.

Well Emdebian does :-) The normal Debian source packages and building tools are
redesigned to accept information needed for cross-compilation. And of course if
available there are configuration options (the user can choose to use the
defaults and compile away or having the extra configuration step if necessary).
The idea is to have decent cross-compilable source packages, which you can build
(and as such cross-compile) with the "normal" Debian tools. Of course also
support for different libraries is included.
Also look at buildd.emdebian.org and stag.mind.be for more info. The main
emdebian page is not updated yet.
regards,
Philippe
