[haiku-web] [Fwd: Re: [Haiku-commits] r24542 - in haiku/trunk: . build/scripts]

Howdy,

Can someone please add to the website the information about the Haiku
cross compiler per Michael Lotz's explanation shown below?

Thanks!

Yep, the link is
http://haiku.mlotz.ch/haiku_cross_compiler_bone_2.95.3-haiku-080323.zip. The
description would be something like:

Download the Haiku cross-compiler and extract it to "/boot" (for example by
setting the "Destination" in Expander to just "/boot"). Then you need to
configure your tree to use this cross compiler. You do that by invoking the
configure script with the "cross-tools-prefix" option like this: "configure
--cross-tools-prefix /boot/apps/haiku/cross-tools/bin/i586-pc-haiku-". Be
careful to include all of the string up to and including the last dash, as all
the cross compiler tools have this prefix (they are for example called
"i586-pc-haiku-ar"). You need to specify this prefix everytime you run 
configure.

You could simply put the link into the development tools section and put the
text into http://www.haiku-os.org/documents/dev/getting_the_source_code. Note
that this all only applies for BeOS based Haiku development. Under Linux you
don't need this cross-compiler, as you always build it yourself.

Regards
Michael
