whoa. i'm developing for uClinux under FreeBSD. I didnt think anyone else would be sick enough to try it. I'm using the Net+Lx distro and installed the tools directly from the tar file they provided. There are a bunch of annoying linuxisms that I had to take care of. I actually planned on writing down all the stuff that I had to do in case someone else wanted to try it. Anyway, the Net+Lx distro doesnt appear to use genromfs, so unfortunately I cant answer your question. Equally bad, the only part of development that I havent been able to do yet is build the rom image. I've been using linux under vmware to build the rom image. -mark On Mon, 15 Oct 2001 14:58:32 +0200 (CEST) mj@isy.liu.se wrote: > Has there been any port of the uClinux development tools to FreeBSD?
