crosstool-ng/docs/CREDITS

I would like to thank these fine people for making crosstool-NG possible:

  Dan KEGEL, the original author of crosstool: http://www.kegel.com/
    Dan was very helpfull and willing to help when I build my first toolchains.
    I owe him one. Thank you Dan!
    Some crosstool-NG scripts have code snippets coming almost as-is from the
    original work by Dan.

And in order of appearance on the crossgcc ML:

  Allan CLARK for his investigations on building toolchains on MacOS-X.
    Allan made extensive tests of the first alpha of crosstool-NG-ng on his
    MacOS-X, and unveiled some bash-2.05 weirdness.

  Enrico WEIGELT
    - some improvements to the build procedure
    - cxa_atexit disabling for C libraries not supporting it (old uClibc)
    - misc suggestions (restartable build, ...)
    - get rid of some bashisms in ./configure

  Robert P. J. DAY:
    - some small improvements to the configurator, misc prompting glitches
    - 'sanitised' patches for binutils-2.17
    - patches for glibc-2.5

  Al Stone:
    - initial ia64 support
    - some cosmetics

  Szilveszter Ordog:
    - a uClibc floating point fix
    - initial support for ARM EABI

Special dedication to the buildroot people for maintaining a set of patches I
happily and shamelessly vampirise from time to time... :-)

More to come as they help.
Add the full crosstool-NG sources to the new repository of its own. You might just say: 'Yeah! crosstool-NG's got its own repo!". Unfortunately, that's because the previous repo got damaged beyond repair and I had no backup. That means I'm putting backups in place in the afternoon. That also means we've lost history... :-( 2007-02-24 11:00:05 +00:00			`I would like to thank these fine people for making crosstool-NG possible:`

Little update to CREDITS. 2007-07-02 17:44:50 +00:00			`And in order of appearance on the crossgcc ML:`

Patch from Enrico WEIGELT <weigelt@metux.de> to disable __cxa_atexit for those C libraries with no support (old uClibc). 2007-03-21 21:03:22 +00:00			`Allan CLARK for his investigations on building toolchains on MacOS-X.`
Get rid of eclipse fiels once and for all. Homogenise the references to crosstool-NG: - the project is named "crosstool-NG" - the front-end is named "ct-ng" - don't use shortcuts (such as "ct-ng" to stand for "crosstool-NG") Default action is to print help. Don't speak of make rules when dumping help, just speak of actions. 2007-07-02 19:40:54 +00:00			`Allan made extensive tests of the first alpha of crosstool-NG-ng on his`

In overview.txt, document the two ways of using crosstool-NG: install and --local. Fix some typos in overview.txt. Document populate's options, still in overview.txt.
