View source for Cross-compiler

One of the ways to compile your applications to the ARM architecture is through a cross-compiler.

== Using the SDK-Installer ==
Cpasjuste on the GP32X forums has made a nice script to get a build environment and libraries installed on Ubuntu/Debian systems. Download links and a brief explanation can be found in [http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?/topic/52343-pandora-sdk-installer/ this thread].

== Manual Installation ==
If you want a bit more control, Code-Sourcery hosts a bunch of cross-compiling suites for various platforms on their site, some editions have to be paid for, but they do have "lite" editions without support that are completely free.

Head up onto [http://www.codesourcery.com/sgpp/lite/arm/portal/subscription3057 here]. The recommended release at time of writing is [http://www.codesourcery.com/sgpp/lite/arm/portal/release1039 2009q3].

Installers are available for Linux and Windows. Alternatively, download and unpack the tarball, then add the bin directory to your path.

== Example: Setting up a cross compiler using Code Sourcery, and doing so inside a VM ==

Skeezix makes some notes in [http://www.rjmitchell.ca/~jeff/blog2009/2010/06/02/getting-up-and-going-with-a-crosscompiler-for-pandora-arm-in-5-minutes/ his blog] about setting up CodeSourcery's prebuilt toolchain in a VM very quickly.
