That script is epic. I think there's a good mapping to cbuild from there. Feel free to create script fragments to call from the Makefile instead of embedding everything in the Makefile itself. They may end up reusable as well. -- Michael _______________________________________________ linaro-toolchain mailing list linaro-toolchain@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-toolchain
