Crosstools-ng - Simplified cross-toolchain build script

Post by mutex »

Just wanted to post what i found yesterday.

Crosstools-ng makes it effortless to create a new cross compiler toolchain.. Text based menuconfig and everything.

There is also a matrix of what combinations that are proven working since building gcc,binutils historically can be a hazzle to build.

I used crosstools-ng before for embedded development, it's great, well integrated with embedded linux and libraries.

However, for the minimum toolset for OSDev(and you often don't have any libc support at the beginning), the build process consist only four simple command line and I don't think you need a menu to do that.
