I believe you need to compile a separate gcc for each host/target. The cross-compiler I have sitting around, for example, is arm-linux-gcc built for x86 Linux. > Do i have to compile a libc for that platform? You need to acquire a set of runtime libraries, yes. Often the easiest way to do this is to copy them from a working system of the target type. For my cross-compiler, I copied all of /lib and /usr/lib off of my iPAQ-running-Linux into a directory, and fixed the symlinks. > Do i have to link staticly? No, dynamic linking works fine (provided, of course, that you have an appropriate cross-linker and the target platform supports shared libraries).

Yup, should be fine. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting. Politicking should be illegal." -- Abra Mitchell
