Hi,

This is probably veering a little OT for a kernel related mailing list
but seeing as we are all(?) working in the cross-compile territory I
thought I would ask.

At the moment my system is built from a series of shell scripts that
mostly throw arcane configure options, fake config.cache entries and
occasionally patch stuff so it builds in a multi-arch, cross compiling
environment. Its obviously not going to be tremendously scalable in the
long run so I'm looking about for build environments that have embedded
systems in mind. Two that I've found so far are:

OpenEmbedded - a offshoot of OpenZarus, http://www.openembedded.org/
ScratchBox - http://www.scratchbox.org/

I haven't delved into either in much detail. So my question is how do
other people on the list build their systems? Is everyone else using
custom scripts or is there a nirvana of cross-compiling goodness that
I'm missing ;-)

Make sure your code does nothing gracefully.
