[Caml-list] Cross-compiling for arm

[Koenraad Lelong]

Hi,
I'm looking for information how to cross-compile for strong-arm. I did
find some references stating it is possible, but I'm not finding
anything on how to do this. I just missed a thread about 'minimum system
requirements' where Eric C. Cooper says he's running OCaml-applications
on his Zaurus. I would like to do the same.
I just subscribed to the list, so my apollogies if this has been
answered, but in the archives I seem not to be able to find anything
about this.
TIA
Koenraad Lelong.

You can find patches to the OCaml distribution tarball and a how-to document at
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~ecc/caml-crossing.tar.gz
I've build x86-hosted cross-compilers for PowerPC and ARM this way.

Thanks, I'll look into this. I have a SuSE-system, so I'll try my best
at it.

I tried this on a SuSE 9.1 machine. Worked like a charm. Only the path
had to be set. I tried some basic example-programs, and they run fine on
my SL5600.
Now I'm going to try to compile Geneweb. Wish me luck.
