Frank,

Thanks. That sounds like a good idea, but I still need an arm compiler.

I was hoping to cross compile on my x86 system.

Hi,

To do the build, you could setup a QEMU to emulate your ARM board. It will be faster than trying to compile on your 920T (it is something like 64 Mb and 400 Mhz, i suppose). If i remenber correctly, it is an armv4t (Thumb instruction set)

Once you have you QEMU up and runnig, install development tools (gcc, rpmbuild, ... ) and rebuild your packages with following command :

rpmbuild --target armv4tl --rebuild name.src.rpm

i hope this help.

I am new to this list.

I have an embedian boad with a Samsung S3C2440 32-bit ARM920T Core using an ARMv4 instruction set. Has anyone build fedora-core-10 for this processor? Is this a reasonable thing to do?

I don't see instructions anywhere on how to do the build myself. I have downloaded all the source rpms, but down know how to get the build started. Any help will be appreciated. I scanned the mail list archive and didn't seem to find anything on how to get started.

Frank,

Thanks. I will try your approach. The cross compiling isn't working :-)

in fact, you have an arm compiler.

On Fedora/Arm page, you'll find everything to setup an ARM/Fedora under QEMU ; look at pre-built Root FileSystem (or RFS). So, you can boot you virtual ARM machine, setup a build environment (yum install ... ) and compile your packages. Fedora provides you all packages to build a more or less complete ARM-distro.

Cross-compiling isn't always a good idea, because you can't run self-tests (some packages do that to confirm everything is ok) at the end of building process.
