Re: Advise on Cross-Compiling Windows Part 2

Regarding boost, I\'ve updated the blog post to better explain how to use those flags, it\'s misleading.

For your CMake issue, try pointing your CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH to the CodeSourcery bin directory.

Pain in the butt eh?

Re: Advise on Cross-Compiling Windows Part 2

Sorry didn\'t see the screenshot in the email.

This is because in the codesourcery bin directory (where the compiler is) make is called cs-make, to be safe, just make a copy and rename that copy to make.

Re: Advise on Cross-Compiling Windows Part 2

My best guess is tcc or gcc. Both are good C compilers and Eclipse can be configured to use both. Also there are several cross system GUI libraries out there.

You may want to look at Python since there is talk of the default Linux distro for the unit will boot into a Python shell.
