Native GCC on the Openmoko FreeRunner

April 13, 2009

Credit: this short howto is based on a mail from Shawn Rutledge to org.openmoko.lists.device-owners.

The whole pile of development stuff won't fit in the flash of the FreeRunner, so you need to create a partition on a microSD card and mount it to /usr.

• Create an ext3 partition (> 300 MB) on a microSD card
• Copy your whole /usr directory to the card with cp -a /usr/* /media/card
• Mount the card to /usr by hand or modify /etc/fstab
  

  /dev/mmcblk0p1 /usr ext3 defaults,noatime 0 0

• With the card mounted as /usr, install the following packages:
  

  opkg install tasks-dev make

• You can get make from angstrom-distribution.

Let me know if I have missed something.
