[Clfs-dev] ARM Books

[William Harrington]

Greetings CLFS gurus,

We have a ARM devices and some are rather impressive for their  
processing power.

Adding ARM to the book isn't a big task.

Basically we can use common for every package in the xml book.

What needs to change are the variables sections, linux header install  
sections (install arm arch for eglibc in cross-tools), add a few other  
variables for gcc builds. and have a table for different arm targets.

I've built for raspberry pi and beaglebone black using the x86 book  
( which uses common mostly) and the changes above is what I recall I  
had to implement for a proper build.

I don't know of all the ARM targets but I think we could set up a  
table for that.

Compared to mips, I don't know about arm and soft float or if even  
exists, and I haven't bothered looking into it. I've used hard float  
all times.

Mostly I'd do what I did for the ppc64-64 book. Take what is common  
and then what ARM requires, create xml for that.

Sincerely,

William Harrington
