In the interest of getting more people started on cross-compilation for TiVo, I've put together a complete cross-compilation environment for TiVo, ready to go. It was compiled on Debian 3.0 (woody), but should work on any reasonably recent Linux distribution.
ftp://ftp.alt.org/pub/tivo/tivodev-2.5_dtype1.tar.bz2
This tarball should be extracted in /home, creating /home/tivodev. It is possible to put it elsewhere, but you'll be changing several things by hand afterwords if you do. If you don't like putting it in /home, just make a symlink.
/home/tivodev/README has very short instructions as to how to use this. The kit includes the environment shipped from TiVo, including full kernel source (which compiles very nicely). Thanks goes out to mbm of samba.org, for his environment creation scripts which got me started creating this.
Many compiles will now be as easy as:
# CC=/home/tivodev/root/bin/gcc ./configure --host=powerpc-TiVo-linux && make
Questions about cross-compilation and this kit in particular should be posted to the original location for this post, at http://alt.org/forum/, for the most prompt attention.
Happy hacking.
