Cross Compiling Perl or Expect for MIPS Processor

I am working with an embedded board that has a MIPS processsor. I am supposed to be developing tests for the system with different applications. My question is: is there a way to cross-compile Perl or Expect for the target board. My understanding is that the board we use is MIPS with a 800 MHz processor. Not sure of the model number. I know that we use CodeSourcery to compile all applications.

Is there a way to use CodeSourcery or other tools to compile Perl or Expect for the target board?

Solution

  • Take a look at Cross-compiling Perl for ARM, and do the same thing, but with correct (i.e. MIPS) values for targetarch and the Code Sourcery MIPS compiler.
