16 years ago --- Quote Start --- 1 with MMU : what do you mean about building the complete Toolchain from scartch ? Would you mean that inside de mmu distribution there is a prebuilt binary toolchain ? (am i right with the terme ?) --- Quote End --- "Our" uCLinux distribution is supposed to provide as well a binary as a non binary tool chain. The binary tool chain is a "snapshot" done by the maintainers at a certain day. The non-binary tool chain can be fetched from the git repository and thus provides the most recent (and hopefully most bug-free) state of the distribution. The non-binary tool chain contains a make script that creates (compiles) the binary tool chain for you (this takes several hours), For the no-MMU version of the distribution you can get the non-binary tool chain as described in the Wiki. Unfortunately part of the MMU-version of the tool chain is not yet completely community-driven and we still need to use the version compiled by WindRiver that is available as a binary. --- Quote Start --- 2 without MMU : Ok so this is a pack containing all source file (binutils, c library, kernel header and the kernel uClinux). And the make script you mention is the one lacated in the $HOME/nios2-linux/toolchain-build as mention in the InstallNios2Linux instructions (make gcc elf2flt gdb-host) ? --- Quote End --- Yep. As described in the Wiki you just need to do "make ..." if all prerequisites are OK. -Michael
