GETTING STARTED /
_______________/

./configure --help
You can find a (terse and WIP) documentation in docs/overview.txt.
You can also point your browser to

CONTRIBUTING /
____________/
Sending a bug report
--------------------
If you need to send a bug report, please send a mail with subject
prefixed with "[CT_NG]" with to following destinations:
TO: yann.morin.1998 (at) anciens.enib.fr
CC: crossgcc (at) sourceware.org
Sending patches
---------------
If you want to enhance crosstool-NG, there's a to-do list in the TODO file.
Patches should come with the appropriate SoB line. A SoB line is typically
something like:
Signed-off-by: John DOE <john.doe@somewhere.net>
The SoB line is clearly described in Documentation/SubmittingPatches , section
12, of your favourite Linux kernel source tree.
Then you'll need to correctly configure Mercurial. There are two extensions
that you may find usefull:
- mq : http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/MqExtension
- patchbomb : http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/PatchbombExtension
Commit messages should look like (without leading pipes):
|component: short, one-line description
|
|optional longer description
|on multiple lines if needed
Here is an example commit message (see revision a53a5e1d61db):
|comp-libs/cloog: fix building
|
|For CLooG/PPL 0.15.3, the directory name was simply cloog-ppl.
|For any later versions, the directory name does have the version, such as
|cloog-ppl-0.15.4.
Here's a typical hacking session:
hg clone http://ymorin.is-a-geek.org/hg/crosstool-ng crosstool-ng
cd crosstool-ng
hg qinit
hg qnew -D -U -e my_first_patch
*edit patch description*
*hack* *hack* *check* *fails* *hack* *hack* *check* *works*
hg qref -D -e
*edit patch description, serving as commit message*
hg qnew -D -U -e my_second_patch
*edit patch description*
*hack* *hack* *check* *fails* *hack* *hack* *check* *works*
hg qref -D -e

hg email --outgoing --intro \
--from '"Your Full NAME" <your.email (at) your.domain>' \
--to '"Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998 (at) anciens.enib.fr>' \
--cc 'crossgcc (at) sourceware.org'
*edit introductory message*
