[Buildroot] Missing something. (Error?)

[Muhammed ER]

Hi,
I use buildroot last stable version
( http://buildroot.net/downloads/buildroot-2010.02.tar.gz )

Selected : Build/install Objective-C compiler and runtime?

I was thinking this configuration includes "gcc compiler" in it. But there
is no compiler.

Did I understand true??? Or it is an error?

Thanks,
Muhammed ER.

Are you really sure you need an objective C compiler? Objc is normally
only used by Apple developers. The objC stuff was added long time ago,
and I don't recall anyone ever using it, so it might very well be
broken.

Are you perhaps looking for C++ support instead?

I gather we should get rid of the ObjC and Fortran options as they
probably don't work anyway.

Sure, but you most likely don't need an objective C compiler - Only C
and C++ (for Qt).

Ahh, so you want a C compiler to run on your target? That should work,
but normally isn't such a good idea (performance, lack of automated
rebuild, ..)
