how to compile with Linux version 2.6.24.4 (I only have ipkg-get not apt-get)

(1/1)

Scorpius:
I have linux version of:
Linux version 2.6.24.4 (brian@dualla) (gcc version 4.2.4) #1 Tue Feb 10 11:00:22 GMT 2009

and do not have apt in it but ipkg instead. I have rockbox source in my /rockbox but no any arm-elf and other tools. tried to install them with command

--- Code: ---ipkg install build-essential libc6-dev

--- End code ---
but it doesn't find this. Where to get all the necessary stuff for compiling? I.e arm-elf, m89k-elf, sh-elf etc...

saratoga:
You don't need apt-get, just to have gcc, svn, perl and normal linux build tools installed.  Since it sounds like you do, this should work for you:

You should build the compiler yourself, to get the correct version. Checkout the script tools/rockboxdev.sh.

Unfortunately I am completely noob for linux systems, so I installed cygwin. If mods find this thread useless to others, please delete.

AFAIK the process is exactly the same for cygwin.
