Title: Gcc
Post by: AeroSigma on August 07, 2008, 07:30:58 pm

I've got an SL-6000 running the Sharp ROM on Tetsu's Kernel, and I need gcc.  I've tried installing zgcc2 (http://vkfox.com/zaurus/) I've followed directions for zgcc elswhere, I've tried zgcc from pdaXrom, none of them have worked.  Can anyone point me to a simple way to get a c compiler on my zaurus?  I'm not trying to compile big awsome applications to run on my Z, I don't need make or ./configure, I just want to be able to compile and run simple self-coded programs while I'm learning C. Can anyone help me out here?

Maybe somebody could compile tcc (http://bellard.org/tcc/). Unfortunately I can't at the moment.

That would be nice, but thier website seems to indeicate that tcc "generates x86 code" and I would need ARM code to run on my Zaurus, right?

You are probably right. I didn't read the whole thing.

Here is something else that might work tinycc (http://www.landley.net/code/tinycc/) but the README seems seems to be missing some essential info.

Well, if you're using pdaXrom, the ZGCC squash-/cramfs should work fine, provided you followed the instructions for setting it up.

Just mounting it under Cacko/Sharp SHOULD work, but you'd need to edit your PATH with whatever additional stuff pdaX has (maybe somebody with a beta 1 setup could post it...). I thought there was a Cacko GCC image floating around a long time ago, but that may have been cross-compiling stuff.

If you're using Angstrom, as your sig suggests, you should be able to just install all of the necessary stuff (ipkg install gcc ...).
