Re: arm-linux cross compiler

[Christian Walther <cptsalek@gmail.com>]

Hi,

if you don't need to install on a small system (e.g. PDA), but you
want a full Debian system, you should apt-get toolchain-source
The package contains everything that is needed to download and compile
all packages that are required for a cross compiler (that is to say,
gcc, binutils and libc...)

You use the cross compiler by doing an

export CC=gcc-arm

The toolchain-source package is great, because you can rebuild the
entire toolchain with a normal apt-get, so your toolchain is always up
to date.
Please see the package documentation and your favorite search engine
for more details. ;-)

Bye
Christian
