   Hi,
   I have no previous experience cooking, as every thing I needed was already available for my x86 machine.
   On my RasPi, I have installed cookutils, but noted there is no tazdev, so I couldn't follow the walk through that I found, and also am now confused after seeing i486 host mentioned and cross directories in the armhf toolchain tarball.
   Should I be using an x86 machine to cross compile packages for RasPi, or can it be done natively?
   Thanks for any help on steps I need to take

   Hi ronald,

   If you need to cook, you need slitaz4 stable operating system (on some x86 machine)

   Have a look at this thread :
   http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/cooking-crosstxt#post-24690

   @everybody
   "Our" distro was severely noted, here.
   http://www.linuxuser.co.uk/reviews/distro-super-test-pi-edition
   But it is in the headlist, and people seems agree server side rocks.

   Personnaly, I'm still struggle with x86 kernel "menuconfig-urations" for now,
   but maybe after 22 June, I could obtain a Rasp for some time, and work with you, emgi, whoever wants.

   I have had a couple of attempts at installing and testing the SliTaz Prebuilt arm cross toolchain.
   Running the README test
   arm-slitaz-linux-gnuaebi-gcc -v -o test.out test.c
   I have a missing file libmpc.so.2
   I notice this library is only available in the cooking repository, but I'm guessing that it needs to be cross-compiled for the arm toolchain if it really is needed.
   EDIT: I did find and install this x86 library from the Tazpanel and now dont get this error.
   However, now I am missing libopcodes-2.22.so and that is not on the list.

   The next test command from the README is puzzling me a little.
   readelf -h test.out
   I would expect it should be
   arm-slitaz-linux-gnuaebi-readelf -h test.out
   as I think we are dealing with an arm elf there.
   Thanks

   The cross.txt walk through does get me to the end sucessfully and the suggested tests work.
   The arm-setup isn't found and I skipped.
   If the arm toolchain is downloaded and installed the steps in cross.txt regarding the building of the toolchain may be skipped by the looks of things.
   Somehow on both installations I have ended up with a cooking kernel in the grub startup even though I selected stable wherever possible. Maybe a package is doing an upgrade, Is there a way to lock it down to stable?
   Thanks.

   You need to install <cross-arm-binutils> package from undigest:

   cross.txt

   26 Create a chroot (use last tazdev)
   27 ---------------------------------
   28 # tazdev gen-chroot --arch=arm
   29 # tazdev chroot
   30
   31 Clone cookutils to get last cook and cross

   # wget http://mirror.slitaz.org/packages/cooking/tazdev-1.9.tazpkg
   # tazpkg -i tazdev-1.9.tazpkg

   Try again!
