MAC OS X build. Likely an oversight on my part. : It looks like you added install targets for xdev, does this mean we can : build cross compilers and install them w/o having to run them from the : top level src makefile targets? Yes. : It would be great if there were something to simplify the means of : building cross toolchains similar to Gentoo's crossdev. : : There are many devices out there which FreeBSD could potentially run on : -- however the vendors ship them with Linux, and being able to get e.g. : cross builds of mtd-utils to run on them would be very helpful for : opening them up. Yup. That's the idea. The other part of the ideas I've had was to have buildworld behave differently when CROSS_COMPILER=xxxx-ytyyyy- is set. Have it just build w/o building the tools to build freebsd (at least not the compiler/linker parts). Warner
