his page briefly describes how
GNU Modula-2 can be built as a
cross compiler. It should not be considered as a definitive
source for cross compiling, but serves to show how it can be
done given the tar balls listed here. It provides a script
which builds the binutils, gcc and Modula-2 compilers from
source for the purpose of cross compiling to the Windows
platform.
Size Package
6.2k build-cross.sh
To cut to the chase, download the build-cross.sh script. This script will download gcc, gm2, binutils and w32api. It then builds these tools and installs them. Note that the total download is approximately 42 Mbytes.
The script build-cross.sh came from the MinGW site (I only modified it to include the GNU Modula-2 configure build and install).
It would be sensible to check the script before you run it - and perhaps use it as an install guide.
It might be a good idea to perform a dry run of the script and run the commands by hand - and only execute the make install as root. I’ve run it on my machine without a problem, but your mileage might vary. If are successful in building GNU Modula-2 as a cross compiler please would you send a brief email to the GNU Modula-2 mailing list.
