Cross-compiling for embedded targets

[Haio Maio]

I couldnt make icecc to work with an arm

I try to followed

https://github.com/icecc/icecream#cross-compiling-for-embedded-targets-using-icecream

but without examples it is damned not be functioning (the reference to tar.bz2 makes me think, that this section has long not been tested/reexamined).

I tried also w/o success

https://de.slideshare.net/szlin/distributed-compiler-icecc

Could anyone provide a working example setup of icecc with embedded toolchain ?

You need to read everything from https://github.com/icecc/icecream#using-icecream-in-heterogeneous-environments to the end of https://github.com/icecc/icecream#cross-compiling-for-multiple-targets-in-the-same-environment-using-icecream to have a chance of figuring this out.  All sections describe how to do a similar operation in a different way.  All can work if you understand what they want, but nobody who has written anything in there is a great author including me, and all assume some familiarity with system administration that you might not have.

Part of the problem is every embedded system is different.  Most people cross compiling hack their compiler together just enough that it works in their environment and so the result is there is no great standard that icecc can assume.  I got it working for my company but our environment is so different from anything standard, that  if I put together a set of instructions it wouldn't work for you.

The only hint I can give is in my icecc-create-env is the best way to create environments.
