At $dayjob we do a lot of embedded Linux. So I need cross compilers for many archs. I'm wondering why openSUSE does not offer packages for common cross toolchains like arm or ppc. There are icecream backends, so why are there no other packages to use the compilers without icecc?
Something like emdebian would be great! http://www.emdebian.org/tools/crosstools.html
It is mostly due to the lack of customer demand or volunteers to implement it. For Factory we are getting one step closer to be able to build a regular cross tools package from the icecc packages we build.
Having a stage1 gcc would already be quite a boon (for kernels), but gcc.spec.in is always so big... though I've done it before somehow with that spec file.
Note that a feature I would consider important is the ability to populate a sysroot with packages needed for development. I'd like to see something like
zypper sysroot-setup <repository> <arch> (creates /usr/<arch-triplet>/, creates an rpm database there, etc.)
init_buildsystem can already be abused to do exactly that ;-) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
