Will these be in the form of rpms or tgz files??
rpm
In the case of rpm do
you know if they would be package similar to the ones on oss.sgi.com?
I'm not sure how the oss.sgi.com tools are packaged. The MontaVista
release gets installed in /opt/hardhat/<....>. The
/opt/hardhat/devkit/mips/fp<le|be>/target is the root fs that gets
mounted over nfs. The target root fs has all the userland apps and
native tools. The /opt/hardhat/devkit/mips/fp_<le|be>/bin has the cross
tools.
ie Setup for a crossdev enviroment. I just really need the cross tools
as the dev is on an embedded system, with no harddrive.
That's what we work with mostly as well.
The userland
stuff is pretty worthless to me. I will be using busybox, tinylogin,
etc. for the standard bin utilities.
OK, but we have all of those packaged in rpm as well, and it's very easy
to rebuild the rpms from the source rpms, if you need to rebuild them.

Having a few megabytes to store
everything in makes you very sensitive to size.... :-)
Thanks for the quick response...

I had a question about the cross compiler tools for MIPS, specifically
glibc. I d/l the rpms from oss.sgi.com, but they are only binutils, and
the compiler (C, C++).
Are most people building glibc against these or are you building the tools
completely from scratch? As glibc is needed to compile anything else other
than the kernel.
Friday or Monday MontaVista should have the HHL2.0 Journeyman mips
release on the ftp site which will include the userland apps, cross AND
native tools, etc. The tools and glibc are very up to date. I would
suggest checking Monday for the release and using that instead of
building your own.
