+Using crosstool-NG on FreeBSD (and other *BSD) |
+-----------------------------------------------+
+
+Contributed by: Titus von Boxberg
+
+Prerequisites and instructions for using ct-ng for building a cross toolchain on FreeBSD as host.
+
+0) Tested on FreeBSD 8.0
+
+1) Install (at least) the following ports
+ archivers/lzma
+ textproc/gsed
+ devel/gmake
+ devel/patch
+ shells/bash
+ devel/bison
+ lang/gawk
+ devel/automake110
+ ftp/wget
+
+ Of course, you should have /usr/local/bin in your PATH.
+
+2) run ct-ng's configure with the following tool configuration:
+ ./configure --with-sed=/usr/local/bin/gsed --with-make=/usr/local/bin/gmake \
+ --with-patch=/usr/local/bin/gpatch
+ [...other configure parameters as you like...]
+
+3) proceed as described in general documentation
+ but use gmake instead of make
+
+
+Using crosstool-NG on MacOS-X |
+------------------------------+
+
+Contributed by: Titus von Boxberg
+
+Prerequisites and instructions for using crosstool-NG for building a cross
+toolchain on MacOS as host.
+
+0) Mac OS Snow Leopard, with Developer Tools 3.2 installed, or
+ Mac OS Leopard, with Developer Tools & newer gcc (>= 4.3) installed
+ via macports
+
+1) You have to use a case sensitive file system for ct-ng's build and target
+ directories. Use a disk or disk image with a case sensitive fs that you
+ mount somewhere.
+
+2) Install macports (or similar easy means of installing 3rd party software),
+ make sure that macport's bin dir is in your PATH.
+ Furtheron assuming it is /opt/local/bin.
+
+3) Install (at least) the following macports
+ ncurses
+ lzmautils
+ libtool
+ binutils
+ gsed
+ gawk
+ gcc43 (only necessary for Leopard OSX 10.5)
+
+ On Leopard, make sure that the macport's gcc is called with the default
+ commands (gcc, g++,...), e.g. via macport gcc_select
+
+4) run ct-ng's configure with the following tool configuration
+ (assuming you have installed the tools via macports in /opt/local):
+ ./configure --with-sed=/opt/local/bin/gsed \
+ --with-libtool=/opt/local/bin/glibtool \
+ --with-objcopy=/opt/local/bin/gobjcopy \
+ --with-objdump=/opt/local/bin/gobjdump \
+ --with-readelf=/opt/local/bin/greadelf \
+ [...other configure parameters as you like...]
+
+5) proceed as described in standard documentation

+
+HINTS:
+- Apparently, GNU make's builtin variable .LIBPATTERNS is misconfigured
+ under MacOS: It does not include lib%.dylib.
+ This affects build of (at least) gdb-7.1
+ Put 'lib%.a lib%.so lib%.dylib' as .LIBPATTERNS into your environment
+ before executing ct-ng build.
+ See http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Libraries_002fSearch.html
+ as an explanation.
