- Tools wrapper
5- Using the toolchain
- The 'populate' script
6- Toolchain types
- Seemingly-native toolchains
7- Contributing
- Sending a bug report
- Sending patches
8- Internals
- Makefile front-end
- Kconfig parser
- Architecture-specific
- Adding a new version of a component
- Build scripts
9 - How is a toolchain constructed?
- I want a cross-compiler! What is this toolchain you're speaking about?
- So, what are those components in a toolchain?
- And now, how do all these components chained together?
- So the list is complete. But why does crosstool-NG have more steps?
A- Credits
B- Known issues
- gcc is not found, although I *do* have gcc installed
- The extract and/or path steps fail under Cygwin
- uClibc fails to build under Cygwin
- On 64-bit build systems, the glibc (possibly eglibc too) build
fails for 64-bit targets, because it can not find libgcc
- While building the final gcc, I get an error message that ends with:
libtool.m4: error: problem compiling FC test program
- gcc barfs because it is "unable to detect the exception model"
- Installing the C library headers and start files fails because of
missing unwind support, with a message like:
configure: error: forced unwind support is required
C- Misc. tutorials
- Using crosstool-NG on FreeBSD (and other *BSD)
- Using crosstool-NG on MacOS-X
- Using Mercurial to hack crosstool-NG
