[Buildroot] bFLT build in precompiled ARM enviroment

[Buildroot] bFLT build in precompiled ARM enviroment

[Marco]

hello list,

i've an running ARM enviroment, i downloaded the precompiled ARM
buildroot system. now i want to build a "hello worl" bFLT binary.
however, ive found that compiling bFLT should be something like:
gcc hw.c -elf2flt
it spits out an error about the entry point, however compiles to the end
and is executeable. if i do "file" on the binary it signs it as an "ELF"
file. so elf2flt was not working i guess.
can someone tell/link me how to build bflt binaries, is it possible with
the precompiled enviroment anyway?

thanx

No, the way to build any application,m is to add 
a directory to the "package" directory and then
add a "<package>.mk" and a "Config.in" file in that directory.

If you want to use jst the toolchain generated by buildroot for somthing
else, then you are probably sending the mail to the wrong mailing list.

hm, do i mix something here up?
http://www.uclibc.org/toolchains.html
http://www.uclibc.org/downloads/root_fs_arm.ext2.bz2

That is a root file system.
I think you have to create a cross compiler to be able to compile more.

Download the main tree from buildroot.uclibc.org
and look in the doc directory.
