Small problem on OpenSlug 3.10-beta

Small problem on OpenSlug 3.4

Compiling would work, but linking fails with an error of not finding crt1.o. It turns out, that libc6-dev wasn't installed. I would have assumed this is part of the dependencies of slugos-native, but it wasn't in my case.

I had to install libc6-dev in addition, then it worked like a charm.

1. rm /usr/bin/gcc (this is a symlink to armeb-linux-gcc)

On OpenSlug 2.7

1. install the package: openslug-native (This contains the essential build tools)
2. if /usr/bin/gcc does not exist: create a file /usr/bin/gcc containing: /usr/bin/armeb-linux-gcc $*

On OpenSlug 3.3 beta or higher

1. install the package: slugos-native (This contains the essential build tools)
2. create a file /usr/bin/gcc containing: /usr/bin/armeb-linux-gcc -mthumb-interwork $*
3. issue the command chmod 555 /usr/bin/gcc

install the package: openslug-native
if you are on openslug 3.3 beta or higher:
install the package: slugos-native
(This contains the essential build tools)

1. if you are on openslug 2.7:
   install the package: openslug-native (Contains the essential build tools)
2. if you are on openslug 3.3 beta or higher:
   install the package: slugos-native (Contains the essential build tools)

How to setup a native C compiler

The information is tested on OpenSlug but will most likely apply for other distro's as well.

In order to have gcc/g++ on your slug (e.g. to compile your own software) you need to do the following:

1. install the packages: gcc, g++, libc6 and libc6-dev
2. create a file /usr/bin/gcc containing: /usr/bin/armeb-linux-gcc -mthumb-interwork $*
3. issue the command chmod 555 /usr/bin/gcc

That's all.
Now go ahead, create helloworld.c and test your work. Enjoy!
