[Scratchbox-users] prebuilt mips compiler on scratchbox 1.0.7

[Jussi Hakala]

It should be, yes.

At least I have a vague memory of packaging one (mips or mipsel) at some 
point in time and it worked correctly then :)

The compiler is seen by sb-conf/sb-menu if there's a directory for the 
compiler under /scratchbox/compilers and there exists a file called 
compiler-name which contains information on the compiler. See other 
toolchain packages for various examples. This file is generated by 
sb-toolchain-extras.

Anyway, given your toolchain works outside scratchbox, the process 
should be somewhat straightforward. The possible problems are mostly 
files in some unusual locations, but that can be solved with proper 
build-time configuration (the .conf file in meta/alien-tc) and/or 
creative symlinking...

You can also test your compiler using an explicit path, even if you have 
no target, ie. 
/scratchbox/compilers/my-compiler/bin/arch-foo-linux-bar-gcc 
/scratchbox/packages/hello.c and see what happens.

And if you can provide more detailed error message, then probably me (or 
someone else here) would be more likely to come up with a more detailed 
answer :)
