Continuing my quest to do more programming on my RISC PC... Does any one know any good guides to cross-compiling for RISC OS using Linux or would be willing to give some guidance?
(Why? Because my Linux machine is dual-screen and it would greatly help if I could have the documentation for the various libraries and the code on-screen at the same time whilst I learn)
I have a working GCC installation on Linux and I have downloaded and compiled the GCCSDK, but the instructions really only cover compilation of the GCCSDK and tools. I want to build my growing 3D application (which is C++) in Eclipse/GCC and then Samba the !RunImage over to the RISC PC.
For starters all I want is to build a simple !HelloWorld on Linux targeted for the StrongARM.
Any help or advice would be appreciated.
(My environment: Ubuntu 8.10/GCC/Eclipse 3.4.2 - RISC PC 900/RISC OS 4.39/StrongARM T) |

The information you want is hidden away in the readme file (which itself is in the gcc4 folder in the gccsdk source).
Using the cross-compiler
------------------------
The cross-compiler can be used on its own. The recommended way is to
define the environment variable GCCSDK_INSTALL_CROSSBIN.
$ export GCCSDK_INSTALL_CROSSBIN=/home/riscos/cross/bin
Add add this environment value to your PATH.
$ PATH=$GCCSDK_INSTALL_CROSSBIN:$PATH
Then use it as you would the GCC compiler normally.
GCCSDK_INSTALL_CROSSBIN is sometimes also used explicitly to access the
GCCSDK cross-compiler. |

I'd be interested to hear if you have any luck with the autobuilder (if you use it). I have tried it many times over the past and spent many hours on a 32 bit Intel Mac, 32 bit Ubuntu 7.04 PC and now a 64 bit Ubuntu 8.10 PC. The autobuilder always fails somewhere, and I'm never able to get anyone to tell me why exactly it doesn't work. |

I ran it on Ubuntu 8.10 desktop... after installing all the libraries and apps it asked for it ran flawlessly...
Don't know if I did anything special, but it seemed trouble-free for me. I haven't moved any of the resulting files over to the Archie yet to test them though.
