<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><br clear="all"></div>Kevin,<br></div> I started trying to play with this cross compile for the router awhile back and found crosstool. But I got too confused and stopped short of getting even a first run in. I agree that if this can be made to work, that is the best route for me to take. And I would be doing ppc from x64.<br>

<br> It's been a long time since I had to build a cross compiler. What a bear
<br>that task is! I fought and researched and learned a lot about it. Still
<br>what ultimately helped me accomplish it was the work that was started by
<br>Dan Kegel on a tool called crosstool.
<br>
<br><a class="" href="http://kegel.com/crosstool/">http://kegel.com/crosstool/</a>
<br>
<br>That tool didn't have exactly the support for what I needed at the time but
<br>I found it cleanly designed and easily updatable to accomplish what I was
<br>targeting (Which was ppc from x86).
<br>
<br>Building a toolchain takes many hours of compiling and lots of frustrations
<br>when some error during the process... Im not sure if crosstool has been
<br>updated in a long time but it might be worth looking at least as some
<br>instructions in script form.
<br>
<br>Good luck!
