Cross compiler source

SDL Development

I can’t run any of the binaries from the cross compiler I downloaded
from the SDL page without dumping my core. I wanted to see if
rebuilding them from scratch would help but I don’t know where to get
the source from. Where’d you get it from Sam?

There have been some minor updates since Sam wrote those instructions…
Basically you start with binutils-2.9.4 and gcc-2.95.2 as per Sam’s page.
BOTH distributions need to be patched with the diffs at (note new location):

ftp://ftp.xraylith.wisc.edu/pub/khan/gnu-win32/mingw32/gcc-2.95.2/patches

The resulting cross-compiler has been very stable for me. A more recent
release exists (gcc-2.95.2-1) but it’s still under heavy testing/debugging.

I gotta learn to scroll down more often… Thanks.
