System building: manually with Scratchbox

• To solve the cross-compiling issues while manually building a target system, a possible solution is to use Scratchbox.

• • http://www.scratchbox.org

• Used by Nokia to develop its Internet tablets (770, N800, N810)

• Works by allowing tools to be cross-compiled in a transparent way, making building tools believe they are doing a native compile job.

• Supported platforms: arm, x86 Uses the qemu emulator to transparently run built arm binaries. Experimental support for ppc, mips and cris.
