Thank you for all your help. You are more then welcome to create mirrors. I am not sure what kind of bandwitdth ratx has, but he saved my a** today!

I was thinking, maybe you could create a sourceforge project?

 

[LordDavon]

I was thinking about it, but I am not sure. Since many of the tools are already on Sourceforge, I am afraid of duplicating efforts.

True. I am thinking about it. Dynamism wanted to pay for hosting, but we wanted to see if people use the tool first before having them invest that kind of money.

LordDavon,

Do you know of any pre-compiled arm-linux toolchains that are available for download?

I tried getting the arm-tools.tar.gz off of the gp32spain.com ftp server... but it is too slow.

Just wondering if there are any other prebuild arm-linux toolchains because I am too noob to crosscompile my own. (I finished the crosscompile but it failed on the final tests and I didn't know what to do to fix it)

Anyways, just wondering if you had a tarball of you arm-linux dev tools.

Those were the ones that I used to compile my kernel deps when I created my 4.02 build. There may be another download site for them, but they are the only prebuilt ones I know of for Linux. Someone was talking about pulling mine off the file in one of the forums, so they may come available sometime.

David

Edit: Now that I think about it, I do have them tarred up with the headers and kernel sources. I don't have hosting for them, but maybe I could PM them to you if I can find some time. Email me and we can work something out.

First off congratulations - this looks like a very cool project.

Could you tell me a bit more about AndLinux. Searching the net renders very little information. Is this system going to be commercial at some point? Or is it an opensource project? It does not seem to have a home website.

​

If you look at the http://wiki.gp2x.org/wiki/AndLinux site, this is a GPL project. It is free and will always be free. Right now, it is calling the GP2X Dev Wiki home. We may either move it to Sourceforge or get it some of its own hosting.

Please note that the SDL libs have been tested by users to be working fine also.
