I managed to build about 1/4 of the FreeBSD userland under NetBSD/arm32. I have the directions & src patches to follow I could clean up and post. The libc is the major stumbling block to gettting more of userland to compile. [ie, I was using NetBSD's libc, rather than getting our libc to build] > No, but I can tell you your best bet is to pick a home for the cross tools > and dump the entire set of FreeBSD include files in that home somewhere. Note that I am working on a platform neutral src/contrib/gcc/config/freebsd.h that is usable by i386, Alpha, arm32, PPC, sparc, etc... BUT all the buildworld/release breakage have had me spending man days chashing that rather than finishing this work. -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.com) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-sparc" in the body of the message
