G'day, Last night I compiled GCC as a crosscompiler for the Motorola 6811 microcontroller. It occurred to me that since most of the Debian packages are also available for m68k and also Sparc and Alpha now, the develops are probably using cross-compilation, rather than actually owning all these machines. Is there a package for eg the m68k cross compiler? I couldn't find one with the package search on www.debian.org.
Thinking about it, it would seem possible to have a gcc-core package which would include the gcc binary itself for whatever languages (preferably C, C++, Objective C and also Ada), then gcc-architecture binaries which would contain cc1, assemblers and linkers and include files as necessary for each architecture. Then you could install the core, then any targets you wanted; typically i386, m68k, etc. Is this plausible and/or useful? thanks, Hamish -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
