I have one more question. I work now with UClinux and with the guide on the wiki. It is said that we have to do ./checkout . This script is : for i in binutils gcc3 linux-2.6 toolchain-build uClibc elf2flt insight u-boot uClinux-dist do cd $i git checkout -f cd .. done and is enough easy. In each directory we do git checkout -f. After some research (because i heard speaking about git but i never used it) i found that this command extract the archive located in .git/objects/pack in order to obtain the original sources needed for compiling the toolchain. Is the content of that packs the original content of each source separately ? (because I try to start with nothing else than source code to build my toolchain) binutils : http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/binutils/ gcc3 : http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcc/ linux-2.6 : http://www.kernel.org/ toolchain-build : ? uClibc : http://www.uclibc.org/ elf2flt : ? insight : ? u-boot : ? http://www.denx.de/wiki/u-boot/sourcecode uClinux-dist : http://www.uclinux.org/ nb : I don't understand the purpose of the "?" directories.
