Re: Cross-develop GNUstep apps in OS X (Was: Base BFD support: limit GPL spreading?)

[Chan Maxthon]

Mark 1 solved by someone else - there is an existing distribution of Linux-targeting tool chain for OS X. I am using it out of the box. Sadly it uses GCC so I need a cross-compiling clang. I do have clang 3.3 source code and building one targeting Linux amd64 should be trivial. I think the biggest issue will be actually writing those pesky Xcode property lists.

Things I picked up:

binutils 2.23.2

gcc 4.8.0 (unused)

glibc 2.11.1

clang 3.3

I will try. Although I got to get ext4fuse work on my OS X 10.9 so that I can extract the required files...

If you do, consider contributing this as scripts for Linux and OS X, so interested parties who have both systems can update both the Linux and OS X portions of the toolchain.

I will build a toolchain based on my Ubuntu installation for Xcode 5:

* Whatever version of basic system libraries copied from Ubuntu 13.04 as of now
* LLVM libraries, 3.3 final with aggressive LTO on
* GNUstep libraries, based on SVN that is like several weeks old
* clang and binutils on OS X targeting 64-bit Linux with gold,
* Templates based on OS X templates
* SenTestingKit
* and maybe network-backed LLDB remote debugging
