HOW TO INSTALL
--------------

Because it is the same toolchain that OE we need to install it under /usr/local/jlime.

cd /tmp
wget http://jlime.com/downloads/development/crosscompilers/jlime-mipsel-toolchain.tar.gz

mkdir /usr/local/jlime
cd /usr/local/jlime
tar xvzf /tmp/jlime-mipsel-toolchain.tar.gz


Adding libraries
----------------

If you need to add more libraries to your toolchain just download the proper
ipk file from our repo (also download the *-dev-*.ipk file )
and uncompress them under /usr/local/jlime/mipsel-toolchain. Then run the
modify-pc.sh pkgconfig script.  For example if we need to add aalibs to our toolchain :

cd /tmp
wget http://jlime.com/downloads/repository/muffinman/ipk/mipsel/aalib-dev_1.4rc5-r1_mipsel.ipk
wget http://jlime.com/downloads/repository/muffinman/ipk/mipsel/aalib_1.4rc5-r1_mipsel.ipk
dpkg -x aalib-dev_1.4rc5-r1_mipsel.ipk /usr/local/jlime/mipsel-toolchain
dpkg -x aalib_1.4rc5-r1_mipsel.ipk /usr/local/jlime/mipsel-toolchain
cd 
/usr/local/jlime/mipsel-toolchain/usr/lib/pkgconfig/
./modify-pc.sh


Building the kernel
-------------------

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/jlime/mipsel-toolchain/usr/bin

and make with :
make ARCH=mips CROSS_COMPILE=mipsel-linux- clean
make ARCH=mips CROSS_COMPILE=mipsel-linux- vmlinux.bin
Check the doc in http://jlime.com/downloads/releases/muffinman/documentation/kernel-nn.txt


Crosscompiling
==============

Example
-------

First, ./configure and make on your host the application to port, so you
can test the building process. Then make clean and use the
toolchain.

Example about how to port the vifm application:

cd /tmp
wget http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/v/vifm/vifm_0.4.orig.tar.gz
tar xvzf vifm_0.4.orig.tar.gz

cd vifm_0.4.orig
./configure
make

After, when building on our host is okey:

make clean

. /usr/local/jlime/mipsel-toolchain/usr/bin/setup-env  
set_makefile.sh
make


It builds fine, but in the my PC the last ld command failed with :

/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link gcc  -g -O2 -Wall  -o vifm  vifm.o background.o bookmarks.o color_scheme.o commands.o config.o file_info.o filelist.o fileops.o filetype.o keys.o menus.o registers.o rline.o search.o signals.o sort.o ui.o utils.o visual.o  -lncursesw
gcc -g -O2 -Wall -o vifm vifm.o background.o bookmarks.o color_scheme.o commands.o config.o file_info.o filelist.o fileops.o filetype.o keys.o menus.o registers.o rline.o search.o signals.o sort.o ui.o utils.o visual.o  -lncursesw  
/usr/local/jlime/mipsel-toolchain/usr/bin/../lib/gcc/mipsel-linux/4.4.2/../../../../mipsel-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lncursesw
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
ake[2]: *** [vifm] Error 1
make[2]: leaving `/tmp/rafa/vifm_0.4.orig/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

In this case the error was that libncursesw does not exist in our toolchain
(its name in our toolchain is just ncurses), and also, it did not
search the lib in our toolchain.

So, I ran manually the final step to build this example :

cd src
gcc -g -O2 -Wall -o vifm vifm.o background.o bookmarks.o color_scheme.o commands.o config.o file_info.o filelist.o fileops.o filetype.o keys.o menus.o registers.o rline.o search.o signals.o sort.o ui.o utils.o visual.o -L/usr/local/jlime/mipsel-toolchain/usr/lib -lncurses

(I added -L/usr/local/jlime/mipsel-toolchain/usr/lib and also modified
-lncursesw with -lncurses).


NOTES: 
- check that I ran 
. /usr/local/jlime/mipsel-toolchain/usr/bin/setup-env  
set_makefile.sh
make

setup-env set the environment to crosscompile.
set_makefile.sh changes all the Makefile files in the current directory. 
WARNING!: it will change all the Makefile files recursively, so be sure
that your work directory is the source code directory. And also use
this script as normal user, NO ROOT.
