When is there going to be a Linux version Mips Cross-Compiler for the
VR4122 (Casio EM-500)?

Funny you should mention this, but I have just got such a device
yesturday.
I am planning to use it for a month or so, then try Linux on it.

The problem seems to be the bootloader. Aparently Microsoft removed the
vital funtions which the bootloaders used from WinCE 3, so none of the
bootloaders work anymore.
As for the cross compiler, you can build your own from source.

Hi,
I am trying to install a mips-linux cross compiler on my linux box with
target=mips-linux
host=i686-linux
I download the rpm files
binutils-mips-linux-2.8.1-1-i386.rpm
egcs-mips-linux-1.0.3a-2.i386.rpm
glibc-2.1.95.1.mips.rpm
from ftp://oss.sgi.com/pub/linux/mips
When I use rpm comand to install binutils and egcs, they work fine.
rpm -i binutils-mips-linux-2.8.1-1-i386.rpm
rpm -i egcs-mips-linux-1.0.3a-2.i386.rpm
However, as I intsall the glibc with the rpm command:
rpm -i glibc-2.1.95.1.mips.rpm
I got a confliction with glibc-common-2.2.4-13, since my native glibc is
2.2.4-13. Thus I cannot install glibc.
Can anybody show me how to install the cross-compiler correctly? (what is
the correct rpm command?)
More questions:
If I have native glibc, can I install another glibc for cross-compiler?
Can I install the binutils-mips-linux-2.8.1-1 to a specific path? How?
( when I install them with rpm -i command, the executable files will go to
/usr/bin as default. Can I change that?)
Thanks for your help.

The Linux/MIPS project has moved to (guess ...) linux-mips.org. oss
still contains a mirror of ftp.linux-mips.org but it's only updated
manually in irregular intervals.

Rpm just saved your system. If you're installing this MIPS glibc into a
crosscompiler machine as it seems then keep your CDROM at hand for
reinstallation. You will need it ...

Sure, they have nothing in common.

Only very few packages support that; these packages don't.
You will not be able to build a kernel with binutils 2.8.x or egcs 1.0.x.
The absolute minimum required to build a kernel is egcs 1.1.2 and
binutils 2.13.1 which you can download from ftp.linux-mips.org. Cross-
compiling a kernel does not require the installation of a MIPS glibc on
the crosscompilation host. If you're going to crosscompile application
software you'll need a much more recent gcc even.

Upgrade your glibc to a recent version.
And installing the binutils-mips-linux-2.8.1-1
to a specific path, may result in problems.
I would suggest to compile at the given default
location and then move the executables to
/usr/bin. U will be able to access them everywhere.
Give it a try.
