Hi Guru,

Did u find out about cross compilation procedure and adding application to LTIB???

[gurumoorthirasi]

Hi vishvapathi,

Thank you for your kind reply...first..

i have found the details for cross compilation ..i didn't get anything regarding debugging using eclipse environment.

[vishvapathi]

Hi Guru,

Can u share the details regarding cross compilation? i installed eclipse but i m not able to set the path to 

" /opt/freescale/usr/local/gcc-4.1.2-glibc-2.5-nptl-3/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/bin/arm-non

e-linux-gnueabi-gcc "

and while installing LTIB i am getting the following error

Processing: flex

Cowardly refusing to clobber existing directory:

/opt/freescale/ltib/usr/src/rpm/BUILD/flex-2.5.37

Remove this by hand if you really want to rebuild this package from scratch

Died at ./ltib line 1392.

any thoughts about it!!!

[gurumoorthirasi]

Goto this directory /opt/freescale/ltib/usr/src/rpm/BUILD/flex-2.5.37

and delete the flex-2.5.37 folder there

and run the ./ltib command.this would help you..i hope..

Package ja-trans is not available, but is referred to by another package.

This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or

is only available from another source

However the following packages replace it:

  net-tools

E: Package ja-trans has no installation candidate
