Rod, Dirk,

I was able to compile and build the libs for my arm platform.
To my surprise the catools (caget, etc) are not built (only the libs are)
I don't need them for my iocs, but would be nice to have them for troubleshooting.
(my arm linux is the etch debian version, i.e. in theory I could ssh to it and caget from
it). What is the directive to build the <top>/bin/linux-arm_el ?

Obviously the files are built on my linux x86_64 machine.
But how does the arm access those files, i.e what is common practice?
1/ Do you nfs mount the partition on the arm and access the lib from there?
2/ Do you copy the files on the arm? scp, ftp, unison, etc...
3/ Do you nfs mount the arm and build on local machine?

I would prefer my embedded system to be standalone. So 2 and 3 seem to make sense.
But what do you/others do?

Thanks,
