From: Leho Kraav To: linux.gentoo.user@googlegroups.com Cc: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable X-Archives-Salt: X-Archives-Hash: 267f8fd665fa273572fcdaacbcdbca5a i have managed to cross-compile a pretty complete stage3 for arm i believe = with perl-5.10.1 from http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=3Dproj/embed= ded-cross.git;a=3Dtree;f=3Ddev-lang/perl overall the cross-compile experience was a nightmare, esp. re perl and pyth= on. many packages obscurely fail, but not enough for you to immediately giv= e up. so it keeps sucking you back in and waste even more time. at the time= i discovered that embedded-cross overlay had mostly done all the difficult= work for me, but it seems it is no longer updated for recent stuff. i thin= k guys in #gentoo-embedded told me it is a lot of effort to patch these lar= ge packages like perl and python to sanely cross-compile, and since i think= their product thing didn't work out too well, they weren't going to sink a= ny more time into maintaining for newer versions. but jude pereira i believe is doing something with arm stages at least semi= -actively http://judepereira.com/blog/gentoo-linux-uclibc-stage3-2010-for-e= mbedded/ and it is definitely a lot of fun booting pretty much full blown g= entoo on things like Nokia N8x0 internet tablets https://github.com/slonopo= tamus/n8x0-overlay
