GCC for Brew Applications!!!

GCC for Brew Applications!!!

[aamir]

Hello,

 I am writing an application for brew devices, as I need to compile my
application using GCC compiler in order to run it on a device. I already
visit your site twice but didnt find any appropriate link to download the
compiler or may be I am looking at a wrong side. So it will be very
helpfull for me if you give me the exact link or name that I can use to
download an appropriate compiler.

Thanx and Regards,
Ayaz Virani.

If you aren't spamming us, you should put some effort into making your 
message intelligible.  How are we to know if you aren't looking at the 
gcc site gcc.gnu.org if you refuse to tell us?

 Hmmm, "brew"... "brewery", "beer",... This is the famous "free beer" 
brand?  GCC is
free and maybe you thought that you can become drunken from this free beer?

 "Download the compiler" = "Enjoy the beer"?  Nice new term for this 
subject!

Seriously, I didn't understand your "brew" at all, the 
'www.pixsense.com' gave some
photos...

Maybe the "brew devices" are some (PC-based?) special "embedded 
computers"....
I put that "PC-based" because this is the cheapest general-purpose 
hardware nowadays.
Then maybe they use Windoze and would need a C/C++ compiler for Windoze...
If not, then you should tell what is the CPU, what the "operating 
system" in these "brew
devices" if not the Microsoft "Windoze"!

When you have some sane data to  tell, be welcome to ask more!

Brew applications run on CDMA handsets, this is a Qualcomm environment.
ergo, our pixsense gentleman needs to build a cross-version of gcc to
support (probably) an ARM target without Linux.  Brew runs on top of
QCs realtime kernel called REX.

He should look at cross-tools if he doesn't have experience building
gcc for a cross environment.

 Ok, I already looked with Google using "Brew applications" and that 
gave data
about ARM7TDMI in some old article coming as the first hit...  So maybe 
it would
be best to use Google or  something,  the situation being quite similar 
to needing
tools for the Symbian OS, then 'www.forum.nokia.com' or something would give
them.  Maybe Qualcomm provides free prebuilt toolchains...

 Producing crosscompilers even for the "usual" targets, 'arm-elf', 
'arm*-linux-gnu'
etc. seems to be quite tough for many... So prebuilt tools can be a sane 
choice.
"Practice with a prebuilt car before starting to build your own, if 
never seen a car
before"...  With them the 'http://www.gnuarm.org' could be a place to 
start, but not
with Symbian and seemingly not with this "BREW" either...

Inventing right words for the search could be too hard :-)  I myself 
tried the "GCC for Brew"
(this shamelessly stealed from the subject text just as the earlier 
one.  I like all kind of recycling,
even for words!)  and that gave first the :

   http://www.mamlambo.com/writing/articles/000049.html

and this having a link to the  "Gnude" toolchain. Free prebuilt ARM 
toolchains  may
nowadays be tens on the net.  One only must try to find them :-(
