Comments

• VB: I'm trying to build the toolchain from sources, using Ubuntu in Vmware. "make toolchain" in trunk directory only creates the download directory:

notroot@ubuntu-vm:~/mg35tools/trunk$ make toolchain
mkdir /home/notroot/mg35tools/trunk/downloads
notroot@ubuntu-vm:~/mg35tools/trunk$

• VB: Also, in toolchain.mak there is a note "Building toolchain from sources does not work at the moment". Is it still valid?
  • John: I'm pretty sure the toolchain script itself works. If you try the toolchain, let me know if that works. :)
    • VB: I tried using the build-uclinux-tools.sh script to build from sources. On Cygwin it stops at the beginning of stage3, not finding arm-elf-gcc.
  • John: Don't know what the story is with CygWin. Feel free to submit a patch. :)
    • VB: I don't think toolchain.mak works, since TOOLCHAIN_MEDIAGATE is used in the "toolchain" target, but it isn't defined. Or is it defined somewhere in an upper level script?
  • John: See my previous remarks RE: documentation vs. current reality.
