Fedora Linaro Cross-Tools

[Al Stone]

Greetings.

For those that have seen or heard about some of the work going
on with Fedora and Linaro [0], there are times when it makes
sense to do work with the cross-compilers for ARMv7/ARMv8 that
Linaro provides.

Unfortunately, these have not until now been packaged for Fedora.

I have created a yum repo [1] that currently has the cross-tools
available for Fedora 18 on x86_64.  These allow you to cross-build
on Fedora, and target Fedora 18 on ARM [2].

Add the following to /etc/yum.repos.d as a new file:

[linaro-tools]
name=linaro-tools
baseurl=http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/ahs3/linaro-tools/fedora-18/x...
 
http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/ahs3/linaro-tools/fedora-18/noarch/
 
http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/ahs3/linaro-tools/fedora-18/SRPMS/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1


Then, you should be able to install the cross-tools for the ARM
architecture you want with:

    # yum install fedora-linaro-gcc-arm-linux-gnu

or

    # yum install fedora-linaro-gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu


Hope these help...feel free to let me know if there's any issues
with them...they work for me but that is never enough testing :).

[1] The goal is to ultimately get these into Fedora officially,
     but I thought they might be useful before that process has
     been completed.

[2] Tools for cross-building on Fedora with the Linaro environment
     as a target are still a work in progress.

I think that instead of creating a new single purpose cross-tools in
Fedora we should put the effort into the existing cross-binutils and
cross-gcc packages

I don't disagree.  The problem is that they are currently very
different source trees; if I can reconcile that, I'll absolutely
put them in the existing cross-binutils and cross-gcc packages.

I second both viewpoints :) The fact is, Linaro have a toolchain that
contains various bits being worked on, and it absolutely makes sense to
allow folks to leverage that work. Thanks, Al, for doing this.
