Setup to compile for mips

[kalias]

Has anyone in ubuntu land done C development for the mips processor? I would like to know how to setup my toolchain for the mips processor. From what I have read it requires some work. Drop me a note if you have some info.

thanks :)

I have done MIPS development before, but that was on a native MIPS/Gentoo system. If you want to build MIPS binaries on an x86 box, you will need to build yourself a cross-compiler toolchain. It does require some work. I found these instructions (http://foobazco.org/~wesolows/mips-cross.html); the "Phase 1" section is relevant to your situation.

thanks to the loongson becoming a reality, i suggested that ubuntu be ported to MIPS on ubuntu brainstorm.
