(aboriginal, crosstools-ng, buildroot, etc) but I haven't found one that
guides how to move to native compiling (=create the native compilers) once
one has the cross-compilers and bootable rootfs (I know, aboriginal *does*
create native compilers so I should read Rob's scripts for that ...).
That being said, the other topics are pretty relevant too.
Also, anyone thinks that CLFS is good start for this? One thing that I
notice about (C)LFS is that the steps are there but the rationale and
explanation isn't; so it encourages people to follow a recipe without
knowing *why* things have to be done in a certain way (to be fair, the main
LFS (not its CLFS variants) does have some kind of explanation but it could
be improved).
cheers!
