Larry,
My projects so far are written using wxWidgets and have an embedded
webserver and run on either Windows machines or Linux machines. I'd
like to take the same application and build it to run on the TS-7390.
However, I don't want to build it on the 7390 but want to
cross-compile it on Ubuntu. If I get the ARM toolchain, it only gives
me the build binaries and the gcc library. But I need all the other
libraries that are in the Debian ARM repository (expat, wxGTK, etc.)
and I really don't want to have to build all of those. Would it work
to apt-get the development packages into the 7390 then copy the files
over to my desktop? This is the first time I've had to do
cross-development with Linux.
