ARM EABI Toolchain Builder
==========================

This build system has been tested on Mac OS X 10.6 (should also work
on 10.5) and Ubuntu 11.04. Small modifications may be needed in order
to make it work with other platforms.
This toolchain builder builds a GCC and Newlib-based ARM EABI toolchain using the Sourcery CodeBench
Lite sources.

This build system has been tested on Mac OS X 10.10.1. Small modifications may be needed in order to
make it work with other platforms.

Note: If you have previously built a toolchain of another version, out

Requirements (OS X)
-------------------

You will need to have GCC, make, binutils and texinfo installed on your machine
to compile all of this. You can get all of these on Mac OS X, by

For those of you who get to this page using Xcode 4.3 and Lion, the command line tools are no longer bundled by default, and there is no /Developer anymore. To install them, open Xcode, go to Preferences -> Downloads -> Components -> Command Line Tools. This should install make, gcc etc.

You may also need libelf and texinfo first. I recommend installing
these from [homebrew](https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew) for now.
I'll add these to the Makefile once I have a consistent configuration
that can be used for both Linux & OS X.
