Crosscompiling for mipsel cpu's ?

Crosscompiling for mipsel cpu's ?

Hi,

 

I’m trying to port an Ocaml program to a mipsel platform.

 

I searched the internet for tutorials but the only thing I found was a patch
for arm and powerpc.

 

Can anyone give me some information / help to build Ocaml for cross
compiling to mipsel?

 

 

Best regards 

Steve

You probably found my posts about the arm and powerpc cross compilers.
Basically, it involves hard-coding the architectural features that are
normally discovered dynamically by the configure script, plus a few
other hacks.  I would probably start with the arm version and adapt it
for mips.  You can contact me off-list if you try this and need help.

Hi Steve,
I run an ocaml program on my mipsel wrt54gs router. OCaml was not setup
for crosscompiling, but it was quite easy to crosscompile the interpreter.
Just configure ocaml normally(using the host compiler), then go to
byterun directory and do "make BYTECC=gcc-mipsel-blabla". The harder
part was compiling the Unix library, but I did succeed.
Now I have an ocaml runtime on my wireless router taking up just over
500K including my application. Just try doing that in Java or even SML.
