Motorola provides a cross compiling toolchain for building Software for their Set Top Box VIP1710. You have to extract it to /usr/local/kreatel and there you have a tree of build tools: 

./bin
./bin/mipsel-kreatel-linux-gnu-addr2line
./bin/mipsel-kreatel-linux-gnu-ar
./bin/mipsel-kreatel-linux-gnu-as
./bin/mipsel-kreatel-linux-gnu-c++
./bin/mipsel-kreatel-linux-gnu-c++filt
./bin/mipsel-kreatel-linux-gnu-cpp
./bin/mipsel-kreatel-linux-gnu-g++
./bin/mipsel-kreatel-linux-gnu-gcc
...
./include
./lib
Now how do I make those configure scripts using my cross-compiling tools instead of my systems' gcc?

the --host parameter to configure, like this

./configure --host=arm-9tdmi-linux-gnu

where arm-9tdmi-linux-gnu is the identfication of the target system in my case - you can have multiple targets in one crosstool installation btw.

  • But as the toolchain is in /usr/local/kreatel/..., `configure` says: `checking for mipsel-kreatel-linux-gnu-gcc... no` – cbix Apr 26 '11 at 21:33

    @flo prepend the bin directory of your crosstool to the path, like this PATH=/usr/local/kreatel/bin:$PATH – fvu Apr 26 '11 at 21:39
