Hello everybody, I have to say that I never used a cross-compiler, I have only installed software from the sources for servers with debian, and mandriva (wich i use in my desktop PC's).
First of all I have installed DjWilli's cross-compiler on my laptop (running mandriva). I had no errors during the instalaltion, but I can test the "DisplayImage" example although it was created (my pandora is being repaired).
If I have understood the thing is that i have to use the "arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-gcc whatever.c" instead the standard "gcc whatever.c" command. I'm wrong?
Anyway the first thing I wanted to try is a USB dongle wich I had around home, and I want to test if it's speed is better than the built in. By the way it's an rt2860.
I have got the sources and here is where I'm lost:
1- I need to specify the kernel source location on the makefile, wich I don't know where to find, if the drivers were for the host computer it would be /usr/src/linux. They are included in the package 20100611-i686-linux-armv7a-linux-gnueabi-toolchain-openpandora.tar.bz2 or they should be downloaded apart?
2- It ask me aswell for the GCC wich is not /usr/bin/gcc otherwise arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-gcc whom I don't know it's location.
3- It aldo asks for the "LD of the target machine", and this time I have no idea what is talking about, any ideas?
Thanks for the help.
