Subject: Advice on compiling GCJ for ARM
Date: Tue, 21 Sep 2010 03:17:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3D92DBFC-92B6-439F-B565-BB29CF1FC04A@marinacci.org> (raw)

I've been trying off and on for a week to build a GCJ compiler for webOS, a Linux variant on ARM, with very little success.  On the bright side I've started to learn more about how the GCC build system works. :) My host machine is Mac OSX 10.6.4, Snow Leopard. I've been able to get GCJ for Mac OSX (darwin) working (though with a few issues), but I can't the cross compiler to even finish compiling.


So my first question is really just a request for advice:  what version of GCC should I start with? Which one is likely to give me the most success? Recent 4.5 builds?  

Second, should I be using glibc or newlib?  

Thanks for any help. If there's already some prebuilt GCJ for ARM binaries I'm willing to try those as well.

Thanks!
	Josh
