Notes

1. Ubuntu is the distribution most commonly used internally, other distributions should work, but are unknown.
2. Gcc 3.3 and Gcc 3.4 are the only versions known to work. One of them should be /usr/bin/gcc-3.3 or /usr/bin/gcc-3.4
3. /bin/sh should be a symlink to /bin/bash.
4. You must have a username and password from us to download the build environment.

Installation

1. download ubuntu and make CD http://mirrors.us.kernel.org/ubuntu-releases/intrepid/ubuntu-8.10-desktop-i386.iso
2. Just do the default installation
3. After installation, reboot and login, open a terminal and run the following
4. sudo apt-get update
5. sudo apt-get upgrade
6. sudo reboot
7. sudo apt-get install patch gcc-3.4 cvs bison flex
8. sudo rm /bin/sh
9. sudo ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh
10. export CVSROOT=":pserver:USERNAME@cvs.imagestream.com:/server/usr/local/oem"
11. cvs login
12. cvs co rbe
13. cd rbe
14. make crosscomp

The build environment is now setup, you will find gcc, etc in crosscomp/gcc-3.2.3-glibc-2.2.2/i686-unknown-linux-gnu/i686-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/. Use those tools to build.
