Noob Cross-Compile Question

icantbebothered · 05-07-2013, 01:50 PM

I read in Geekmaster's tcc thread that for larger applications, cross-compiling with arm-linux-gcc is a better option than using tcc on the kindle. But I can't find where to get it. Could someone provide a link please?

If it matters, my computer runs windows vista, and I can boot into dsl if necessary.

Hmm... I just gave up trying to use windows to cross-compile for the kindle at a very early stage so I sadly can't help there. However knc1 provides the entire set of x-compile toolchains HERE http://drpbox.knetconnect.com/KeK/ - This AFAIK includes a mingw32 that works on a correctly configured windows box - The toolchain for 2012 is http://drpbox.knetconnect.com/KeK/ar...ingw32.tar.bz2 for example...

I also have not used DSL... BUT... http://damnsmalllinux.org/packages.html indicates that it has apt. so you have a couple of choices. Either apt-get something down from a debian repository into DSL or use the windows option.

Both options will probably require a smidgen of massage to get going initially. HTH.
