Setting up a cross-compilation environment for a specific target platform

Question

I would like to set up a cross compilation environment in a Ubuntu 9.10 field. From the documents that I have read so far ( these ones , for example ), this is related to the compilation of the tool chain of the target platforms.

My question is: how do you determine the required version of each package in the toolchain for a specific target platform? Is there any rule of thumb?

This is the list found on one of the sites listed above:

Binutils-2.16.1.tar.bz2
Linux-2.6.20.1.tar.bz2
Glibc-2.5.tar.bz2
GlibC-LinuxThreads-2.5.tar.bz2
NKU-kernel-4.2.0.tar.bz2
GCC-g ++ - 4.2.0.tar.bz2

But suppose I want to generate executable files for standard Ubuntu 8.04 and CentOS 5.3 mailboxes. What are the required packages?

My main task is to avoid errors like "/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version" GLIBCXX_3.4.11 not found "on client machines, but in the future I also want to deal with different architectures.

Answer 4

Optware?

I'm currently working on creating Mono and Moonlight for my Palm Pre using cross-compiling toolchain (as well as make files with Optware software handle most of the dependencies already).
