Sure, it is, but how to compile apps (e.g PVR) from sources with OE? Here aren`t any bb recipes to use bitbake

look into branch-0-0-1/oe/packages/SamyGO-Template/ how to fetch sources from forum and build the prog.
but better to tell the releaser of app he should provide one (really it's his 'job')

Could you tell command to build toolchain using OE?

bitbake task-samsung-toolchain
but if you try to build any other package this will build the toolchain, logical , then how do you like to compile apps without toolchain.

p.s. If i try build mc with command

Code: Select all

bitbake mc

i get connection error:

Code: Select all

I found, that handhelds.org was under maintenance until 1.12.2010... Now we have February, it is still not available...

but be warned, in branch is a lot of stuff just prepared for devels to start the work. so if you like to build something for c series then you are the devel
other thing, it makes no sense to play around with openembedded if extensions pack for your machine is in download section, they are built with more recent oe-layout. it makes sense if you like to devel some new stuff.

Finally i got cross-compiling toolchain working.
I`ve download the latest (2011.03-41) Sourcery G++ Lite 2011.03-41 for ARM GNU/Linux and easy set it up.

But i have a question to an experts:
This version contains latest binutils, gcc and other stuff:

GNU Binary Utilities (2.20.51-sg++)
GNU C & C++ Compilers (4.5.2-sg++)
GNU C Library (2.13-sg++)
GNU Debugger (7.2.50-sg++)

Could this be the reason, that i because of newest versions can`t compile low level applications (kernel, u-boot) and get errors about undeclared values?
I know, samsung provides binutils 2.17.50 and gcc 4.2 with it sources, but i could`n make toolchain working. Now i guess might it could better to download another toolchain from CodeSourcery (2007-q3-51) with versions on it:

GNU Binary Utilities (2.18.50-sg++)
GNU C & C++ Compilers (4.2.1-sg++)
GNU C Library
GNU Debugger (6.6.50-sg++)

List of all available toolchains for arm is here.

What do you think?

i guess you won't be happy with binutils other than 2.17.50 from samsung. and if you wanna be at the safe side use also glibc from samsung sources.
but what do you plan to do and wat do you exactly need?

Thanx, i understood.
No special aims, just to have it right working.

Thanks and welcome

Working cross-compilation toolchain is available on SamyGO svn:
