OpenBSD Crossbuild

TiVo Cross Compiler and Binaries

Mike Baker has written a very nice, automated cross compiler build script for Linux. I, however, am an OpenBSD hacker. It wasn’t difficult to get this working on OpenBSD/i386; I’ve put the result, tivo-build-xcompiler-obsd.tgz, up for ftp for other OpenBSD users. It should be trivial to get this working on other BSD systems.

I built the following binaries for the TiVo because I just couldn’t live without them. Most are linked with libtivohack from Craig Leres' downloads page.
