I have downloaded and untarred the compiler:
mipseltools-gcc331-lnx24.tar.gz
Unlike other GNU compilers however, this doesn't contain any configure.exe executables in binutils etc. or anywhere else in the file structure so I am at a loss for how to build it?
I see some people on this site have been asking similar questions about these compilers - downloaded from Ingenic - how they can be built/configured etc.
Given that some others have obviously been compiling cross-compiling for the Minibook with these Ingenic downloads, I would be grateful for any info on how to install the compiler in a Linux or Cygwin environment? It surely can't be that difficult?
I have great plans for the Minibook if I can only start compiling my own code to run on it. It's very stange for me that the designers of the Minibook have chosen to offer a small Linux machine which is attractive to hobbyists and developers but they have then left out the very tools on the system itself which make it fun for these people (gcc, make etc.) to use - and then the cross compile tools are difficult to install without any documentation!
Do they want this product to succeed or have they just not realised the potential target market?
Thanks in advance if anyone can help.
