It's just what we need to knock the mighty BalloonBoard into shape.

Efforts this end are also excellent, ta!

The boards are available at the website below (both FPGA and CPLD).

We've sold 1 FPGA to Gilles in Marseilles and a couple of hundred to www.pod-point.com/ (who seem to be having some difficulty paying us, and DB, and CMJ).

We're surviving financial just (having taken out a startup loan).

New customers welcome!

Hi All

I'm trying to find out "the right way" to cross compile for balloon.

I started with a small program
xx.c:
#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
while(1){
printf("x\n");
sleep(2);
}
}

I cross-compiled that with
arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc xx.c -o xx_arm

which gave a binary of around 5kbytes. I copied that onto Balloon and tried to
run it and got:
-sh: ./xx_arm not found
even though it was there and had x permissions. I suspect some missing shared
library linking...

I then rebuilt with:
arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc --static xx.c -o xx_arm
which gave a 555kbytes binary which ran.

What's the magic to get shared library building working?

Thanks

Charles
