Sorry to make so many posts here!
I am a little confused by some of the lingo I see flying around... so I am
going to make a number of questions...
#1) In windows, why do we need to download binutils, gcc, and the scripts...
what do they all do?
#2) Do you need to rebuild gcc for linux also?
#3) Is there more than one cross compiler, because I have heard the term
EGCS flying around too.
#4) Why do we need to rebuild gcc when there is:
http://h8300-hms.sourceforge.net/
#5) legOS is build using the cross H8 cross compiler that we build in the
first few steps?
#6) User programs are built with _same_ cross compiler as legOS?
#7) If I wanted to write my own OS for the RCX... would I use the same cross
compiler?
#8) Do other firmware replacements use the cross compiler (leJOS for
example)?
I guess I am just trying to get a general feeling of how it flows together,
and why we follow the steps that we do when setting up and building
everything required... if anyone has a brief explanation, I would love to
hear it.
Thanks
