[Ipodlinux-devel] Re: Writing programs and compiling

[David P. <dpi...@ma...>]

Bernard,

I've actually written up a 4-page howto because I've found the process 
to be so long and annoying to locate all the needed software tools. I'm 
sure some things are left out or incorrect because I haven't actually 
gotten the linux kernel to operate successfully when I compile it 
myself. So I sent the howto to Daniel to review. I used his 
configuration file when compiling the kernel, but when booting the 
kernel, mine tried to mount vfat instead of ext3. Hopefully he'll 
recognize what it is I'm doing differently than him, and then you can 
put the howto on the web. As far as compiling user programs, that seems 
to be fairly simple to set up. Just compile with arm-elf-gcc with the 
-elf2flt option, though I have yet to do anything more complicated than 
hello.
