Cross compiler usage help

[Deepak Barua]

Hi ,
      I have used crosstool to compile a ARM tool chain for a TI board
but i don't know how i can use it... meaning instead of sing my system
gcc i want to use the ARM cross compiler gcc stored with it's include
files and such in a seperate directory ....

Where do i find instructions ...?

Regards
Deepak

It's not quite clear what you want to do.

If you built and installed arm-gcc at /usr/local/bin,
for example, you execute /usr/local/bin/arm-gcc foo.c.

Hi Micheal,
                I kind of figured it out .. i wanted to use a cross
compiler and compile the linux kernel for my OMAP 5912 ARM processor
board...

so just did
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=compiler path oldconfig

and then

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=compiler path

Thanks for you help.

Regards
Deepak
