Building Embedded Linux from Scratch Cross-compiling not standardized; each package different Best practices dictate that you script the cross-compile Laziness dictates that you use someone else's scripts :-) Ptxdist is a Makefile that knows how to cross-compile about 100 packages. It uses "make menuconfig" to select which apps to build. See http://ptxdist.sf.net Remoting environments like Scratchbox or Dodes let you build without worrying about cross-compiling See http://scratchbox.org, http://www.dodes.org
