Hi,

That said; in order to do it on an x86 box, you need a cross-compiler to compile it for the ARM architecture. Would gcc (djgpp?) cross-compile from windows x86 to linux on ARM? I haven't heard/seen of such a thing, but that is not to say that it doesn't exist. The cross-compiling would seem straight forward, but ... linking? I suppose it's possible, I've just not seen the tools to do it. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong here.

You could run a GCC x-compiler under CygWin (a Unix wrapper around Win32 API and build tool set), I build ARM executables using this.

Regards,

I have been a Windows 2000 only user for a while now (Since getting my copy in advance in January) and have not run into any problems with my games. I actually would have to say that 98 gave me more problems then 2000 when gaming. And my collection goes pretty far back.

John,
Installed Cygwin just dandy. Blew some dust off my 'Using Linux' book and I'm off. Now I can really mess up my player! Not sure I need to ftp yet, but I did tweak 1200 ID3 tags in the empeg...

Drakino & Dionysus- I've got a W2k Dell Precision 420 at work with a G400 card. My quake play is a bit iffy, and I have a few (non-play) OpenGL apps that just plain don't work. Guess I'll have to suffer until Matrox gets their stuff together & writes some decent drivers. As for home, I just don't have the time or patience to rebuild a Celeron 500 machine into a W2k station. It would make it drag more than it does already. At some point I'll throw a 700 Celeron in there (don't think a PIII will go in my PII slot) & then maybe. When quakeIII does run it work it's sick fast with the G400 & 1/2GB RDRAM. Thanks for the tip tho'.

just say you weren't paying much attention...

we've got the same card; I've got the g400 max 32mb dualhead, although I'll be the first to admit that I don't play games that often...

Now you've got a build environment and tools chain, you'll need to install the GCC compiler and configure it for the correct cross-platform (ARM) to create binary images (if you already have not done so - look at the docs).

Good luck,

Regards,

to install the GCC compiler and configure it...

I'm assuming you mean the arm-linux-toolchain.i386.tar.gz from the devloper site? Let me know if I'm smoking crack on that assumption.

I downloaded the GNU GCC compiler from here.

My ARM compilations wern't for Linux and not for the empeg, so be aware.

PS. What's crack?

Regards,
