Hello,
does any one know how to compile software for SIMpad SL4? I use Opie for SIMpad version 8.0 but I want to build my own distribution. I have skills in compiling software under ix86 architekture. I heard about crosscompiling but I don't have a guess how I have to use it for the SIMpad.
My goals are:
Kernel 2.6x
slackware tgz system
slackware simple init
x11
enlightenment e16 and for testing probatly e17
a good CAS for algebra and some school specific things
which x11 and which libc could I use?

thx forward

take an existing toolchain, say gcc 3.4.2 along with a recent glibc.

the most difficult part of your project will be the kernel part. You have to port several drivers... now if you can split that in two, I could be interested.

I will try to do that.

Where can I find the opnesimpad and gpe sources? I need them for checking out what is important.

Read the openembedded guide:

http://openembedded.org/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/GettingStarted

With the oe sources you can build the needed crosschain and a complete opie/gpe image.
It also includes the sources for all packages, dirvers and the kernel.
