I would like to share with you my progresses on making CRUX-ARM working on my PI zero device.

After some positive results in cross-compiling sysvinit and merged it on CRUX-3.5 Generic, I tried to create my own CRUX-ARM system from devtools (https://crux-arm.nu/gitweb?p=devtools.git) as suggested me on IRC, but unfortunately my skills on these scripts are zero: I couldn't start any of them, and I found no tutorial to use them.

What I've found are quick guides to create your own toolchain and how to cross-compile a single package.

Then I cross compiled and added to CLFS some of the package on crossrootfs, copied on the PI zero together with my pre compiled kernel, and it started!

Then I continued to cross-compile and copy on sd card other packages from crossrootfs, but unfortunately these packages are from CRUX-ARM 3.4 system, not 3.5, so I broken all my GLIBC and I started again from zero.

Now I have a working system (with limited packages), but I'm sure it's not the right way to do it (I had to add --host=$CTARGET to any package I wanted to make).

What I can't cross-compile is GCC, primary for let the PI zero working by itself

Please let me know your thoughts....

Cheers
