Basically, I want to use crosstool-ng to build a cross-toolchain for at least x86_64 targets in a docker container's /opt/xtools, and our automation would use that to cross-compile all the pieces of a chroot at /opt/chroot until we have enough to spit out a docker image and a bootable iso in a shared volume with the docker host. It is a "distro from source in a box" concept. Will use libc. Before you type it -- buildroot does not meet my objectives. Unfortunately. This is after months of struggling with the documentation for both binutils and crosstool-ng. The docs make this look pretty easy but I'm finding that the tutorials and docs are not resulting in successful builds with rather ambiguous blockers. So, I figure it might be a good idea to see if this is something money can help with so that we can get someone more knowledgable than I am providing input on it. Even if that paid support is paid training, fine, it's better than what we've been trying to do up to this point on that project. I'm open to ideas. No one seems to know how this works outside of the gigantic brains that occupy this mailing list. I know this because I've asked every person on the planet about it and can personally confirm. Every. Single. Person. :) I am eager to move past this piece for a while so I can put more energy into the distro itself. If there is a better place to ask or find this kind of support I am highly receptive to suggestions. Earnestly, Chris Punches Owner SILO GROUP, LLC chris.punches@silogroup.org
