Re: [microblaze-uclinux] Doing an out-of-tree application andcompiling under Windows

[Josiah England <josiah@xxxxxxxx>]

I believe the problem would be that someone asked practically the same
question earlier the same day and received a number of answers ranging
from two hours prior to your message until the next day.

Check the "Custom program" thread started Monday.

Or check:
http://www.itee.uq.edu.au/~jwilliams/mblaze-
uclinux/wiki/index.php/OutOfTreeCompile

or else:
uClinux-dist/Documentation/Adding-User-Apps-HOWTO

or even:
