Questions about T2

[Thomas Jourdan-2]

Hi guys

First of all I have to say that T2 SDE is a wonderfull tool, very
powerfull and versatile.

I'm new to T2 and I have a few questions about it :
- is there any release date planned for the T2 SDE 8.0 release ? Or is
it when it's ready ?
- any plans to support GCC 4.4 ?
- What is the recommended linux distribution to cross build T2 ? Of
course you'll say T2 ! But for example I'm used to Ubuntu and there are
some troubles (dash instead of bash...).
- is it possible to 'export' the toolchain built during the cross build
of a target ? For later use for example ?
- Is it possible to use an external toolchain ? It seems that it is a
planned feature but I haven't found anything on it.

Regards,
Thomas

Yes, when it's ready.

- any plans to support GCC 4.4 ?

Sure, when it's stable :-) Maybe just bumping the version and re-diffing

some patches is enough.

Others should indeed usually work, module such incompatibilities,

which we accept patches for our build system and packages to fix.

- is it possible to 'export' the toolchain built during the cross build

Sure, you can just use it executing build/.../TOOLCHAIN/tools.native/...

(or so, module typos).

- Is it possible to use an external toolchain ? It seems that it is a

planned feature but I haven't found anything on it.

Not really, though some peple just move it to the right place to reuse

one. Patches for some kind of integration welcome (why would one

want to use some unknown quality binary toolchain?).

I was just asking this because from time to time, I contribute to
another project you might already know : crosstool-ng. This is a rewrite
of Dan Kegel's crosstool scripts. With this tool, you can easily build
the cross tool chain that suits your need.

Thomas
