I do app development on my Mac, under XCode, using a cross tool generated by
crosstool-ng. That works pretty well although there are some bit-wise
arithmetic differences between the code generate by that and the compiler that
lives on the TS Debian dongle.
However, when it comes to compiling a kernel, I haven't had much luck with the
Mac cross tool. Apparently there are minimum version requirements for Linux
2.6 which I have yet to determine. And the 2.4 kernel doesn't build either so
I ended up building 2.4 on the TS Debian dongle. Any suggestions here would be
welcome.
For some reason curses isn't installed on the TS dongle so I can't run make
menuconfig on the Debian dongle.
There are so many undocumented or poorly documented pitfalls and procedures
that one spends a great deal of time reinventing the wheel than doing actual
work.
What I'd like to know is what versions/flavors of the cross tool components are
required to build the most recent Linux 2.6 that TS has on their FTP site and
what settings e.g. EABI/OABI, etc. are required. Better yet, how does one
determine these settings? Guessing is futile, IMHO.
