Crosscompilation for armel with emdebian

First of all create a chroot with debootstrap:

debootstrap lenny armchroot

Then let's go to fix locales:

mount none -t proc armchroot/proc
chroot armchroot
@armchroot: apt-get update && apt-get install locales&& dpkg-reconfigure locales && apt-get install localepurge

The last important part is to install emdebian-tools

@armchroot: apt-get install emdebian-tools


@armchroot: apt-get update && apt-get upgrade

Now we have to edit /etc/emsource.conf to use stable

targetsuite: lenny

Now it's time to setup emdebian. We want to crosscompile to armel so:

@armchroot: emsetup -a armel

This last command will install and configure the toolchain.
