Re: Fwd: Compiling pgm for an older linux version - cross compiler
The older system is an embedded one --> no compiler on it (run on 2mb
flash mem).
I build this one a few years ago with an old linux desktop. And I
don't have it anymore. But I have to make an upgrade for the embedded
system...
So I have to :
1- find the glibc version of my embedded system
2- install this version on my actual system without erasing my actual one (how?)
3- compile my sources with gcc and a parameter to specify this version (how?)
Once again, many thanks for your help.
