 DJ-Willis's cross-compiling toolchain page is really awesome, but it has a few holes I'd like to patch up in this guide.  Here, we'll be creating a chroot jail to install the toolchain on with a Debian Squeeze system.  This will allow you to use DJ Willis's toolchain without mucking with your normal system at all.  Of course, it's obviously overkill, but, hey, what's technical insight without it?

 The commands are detailed exactly as you'll need to enter them, from start to finish, to compile Pandora native apps on your host system. They'll run really well on the Pandora, but they won't run on your host.  To do that, you'll need to compile them for the host system, which is a different, but much simpler, process.

-Cpasjuste on the [[GP32X]] forums has made a nice script to get a build environment and libraries installed on Ubuntu/Debian systems. Download links and a brief explanation can be found in [http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?/topic/52343-pandora-sdk-installer/ this thread].

 A new approach at creating a crosscompiler toolchain was done by Ivanovic. It is based previous codesourcery toolchain attempts but uses the packages that openpandora relies on, too. It should work for every Linux system that can make use of x86 binaries (meaning x86 systems as well as amd64 systems with multilib support). A more detailed explanation of the SDK as well as the scripts required to install it are available in [http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php?/topic/7147-crosscompiler-toolchain-based-on-openpandoraorg-ipks/ this thread].
