Crossplex is a library of macros for make that enable enterprise-scale development of embedded operating system distributions, such as (but not limited to) those based on the Linux kernel and the GNU system of compiler tools and libraries. The Crossplex macros can be called from any makefile, so they are easy to integrate into existing make-based build systems.

Virtual Guest for Testing Crossplex
Thu, 02/18/2010 - 16:14 — daveUpdated for crossplex-0.11.1 release (uClibc toolchain support).
Since I only have a limited environment for testing Crossplex releases, I suspect that there are many ways in which those releases depend on my particular environment. In an effort to make Crossplex more accessible to people who do not share my environment, I have created a portable environment: a VMWare guest that anyone can run with the freely-downloadable VMware Player or Virtualbox
Announcing: crossplex-0.9c
Thu, 02/18/2010 - 10:02 — dave- Adds "freshmeat-downloader", a perl script that contacts freshmeat to get the latest download locations of third party tarballs needed by the build, and makes a best-effort attempt to download those tarballs.
- Finishes the first working example (see the "examples" subdirectory), which can build a CDROM image that boots a simple embedded OS called "davix". The example was tested in a standard Ubuntu JeOS platform with a minimum of installed packages (basically make and gcc)
