I was asked to take a look at the blueprints relating to cross-toolchain development (e.g. https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/linaro-platforms-o-linaro-cros...) in advance of Monday's 'Android and Developer Platform' plan review call. I just have two questions to ask for now:
- I would like confirmation that the Windows binaries will be 'windows native' and standalone i.e. customer does not need to install MSYS/cygwin/etc. I got the impression that this is the intention, but am not 100% clear that it's a requirement.
The build will be Windows native and self contained. Cygwin will not be used and any mingw support libraries will be minimal and shipped with the binary.
The goal is to have something that is usable from a NT CMD prompt, cygwin prompt, and Eclipse.
- Will Linaro test the toolchains on Red Hat Enterprise? RHEL 5 is one the supported platforms for DS-5, so it would be useful to know if the toolchain will be validated on that platform, or if we need to test ourselves.
Not at the moment but we might slip it in to meet the requirement of working on the top four development Linuxes. As Marcin says, we'd test under CentOS instead of Redhat.
