Can someone just give me cross-compiler binaries!?(windows)

earlz · Post by **earlz** » Mon Jun 04, 2007 8:50 pm

After trying to download the gcc sources 2 times for about 8 hours(on dialup) I have given up until I get DSL..which is hopefully soon..

So I just want a basic GCC crosscompiler setup, I want it to run on Windows and produce elf files..
I don't even need the standard libraries, as I am doing this for OS deving..

can someone please be so kind as to zip up gcc and binutils for me and upload it here?

I don't care if it's specific to some path or whatever..trust me..I'll be happy with about anything..

PM me, if you need a Cygwin-based cross-compiler that targets ELF, I can give you a link on my server where you can download the executables (no libs or anything like that).

What are you trying to target?

I would try downloading a ubuntu image and installing that

Brynet's going to tell us all about his 21-mbit connection...

I downloaded 100 MB in about 10 minutes, so about 10 meg a minute = 0.167 MB a second... Disk image = about 700 MB so about 70 minutes or an hour and a sixth.

Anyways...

I have got a packed archive with the tools needed to build my kernel (which includes an 3.4.4 i386-elf gcc making up for 80% of the archive size). However the archive is just as large as each of the needed source packages so if you can't download those, you won't be able to download this one as well.

I suggest you get yourself a download manager and some extra coffee

The cross-compiler I'm offering is targeting ELF and is GCC version 4.2.0 (also has G++), and the newest binutils.

Total, uncompressed size: 23.7 MB. Sorry, but a download manager sounds good

I'm still waiting for them to upgrade my local exchange for adsl2 (which I only live 500 meters way from).

Ok if you can't wait an hour and a 10 mins(although I can't see you can't wait that long as it usualy takes about that to start up windows and begin to use it). Then downloadload DSL(only 50MBs)

I hibernate my PC so I only have to wait a couple of minutes.

And with my 16-gig pagefile (distro'd across 4 partitions

) booting isn't all that slow (hard drive speed is my only enemy).

I use a download manager... halves download time.

I'd rather use 16gb for documents and other programs rather than just 16+ for the operating system. Just a query what windows and what machine word size(32 or 64-bit) are you running.

32-bit Windows XP.

And 4 4-gig files across 4 partitions isn't a problem. I don't use 3 of those 4 partitions anyway.

If I was on 64-bit I'd have forked out money for more than 4 gig of memory. On 64-bit 4 gig feels tiny compared to the terabytes I could have instead

That's weird, for some reason all 3 computers i have windows on start up about 10 times quicker than the 4 with linux on. I guess it really depends on how much you want to hate Windows instead of actual evidence...

Irnonically, Limux is installed on all my fastest computers as well.

So I managed to strip all the binaries and 7zip it on 'ultra' compression.

http://clos.homelinux.org/cross.7z

Got it down to 3692kiB.

It expects to be in /usr/cross on a cygwin system. You still need the cygwin dll.

Regards,
John.

I think it depends on the system. On my AMD64, Linux boots up amazingly faster than Windows. Albeit, it's Gentoo, so maybe that has something to do with it, that is, because Suse booted up pretty slow. (Suse being my previous distro.)

EDIT: Limux

You should try Free Download manager http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/. I have dialup and it makes it so much easier to download large files. You can stop and restart downloads exactly where they left off, so you can download little pieces of it at a time over several days. I have downloaded a couple of 500mb files that way.
