Porting tips

Porting tips

[Shaz]

Hi,

I am finding some issues and difficulties in porting some application
but could not find any useful help and tips from google. Can anyone
give me some pointers regarding porting applications with respect to
architectural differences in x86 to arm and build tools like adjusting
simple makefiles for cross compilation.

Apologies for off the topic request but thought that relevant pros
will be available on this list :) I will appreciate if relevant
mailing lists can be also pointed out.

thanx.

Well this list is mostly pointed at Linux issues and not general application development.  Still you might find some off-list help if you stated what manner of issues you are running in to.  Are you having trouble with autotools?  Any packages in particular you can list that are giving you trouble?

Also, the irc channels listed in a recent mailing should be helpful.  Try pinging some of the more active folks on irc.
