Hi there. I'd like to start an official Linaro cookbook that has recipes on how to build and use the various Linaro outputs. This cookbook would answer questions such as 'how do I build Linaro GCC from source?' and could be expanded into others.
I'm thinking of having a concise Makefile for each of the interesting uses. The Makefiles would be executable documentation - something that you can read and understand the steps, and also run to get a valid output. They should be correct but very focused so, for example, a broken download would be detected but make force a 'make clean' instead of adding another line to the script.
I currently have a single stage cross GCC against the Linaro sysroot, a bare metal cross GCC (unsupported), and a fancy cross GCC that works against the Debian/Ubuntu ARM, PowerPC, and MIPS sysroots. This would be an official Linaro product and would be updated with each monthly release.
Thoughts? What scripts do people have tucked away that I could tidy up and publish?

Is that a Linaro Toolchain cookbook?
Othewise, it sounds much like the HowTo tab on wiki.linaro.org: https://wiki.linaro.org/Resources/HowTo https://wiki.linaro.org/CategoryHowTo
In any I feel your efforts could definitely be part of the HowTos :-)

Could be, but it doesn't have to be if there are other things that are complicated to build and use.

Yip, but I'd like something that someone can read and run; and that we can update and make releases of. The wiki does make things easy to find - perhaps these should also be mirrored up to the wiki for reference?
