    Does anyone know of an easy way to do this. I have python compiled into the file system, but the problem is I need to add a library PyCrypto. The problem is that it is looking for gcc when I try to compile it on the board. And I don't know how to tell the python script to use the arm-gcc in /opt/....

    mx31# python setup.py build
    running build
    running build_py
    running build_ext
    building 'Crypto.Hash.MD2' extension
    gcc -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -g -O3 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -fPIC -Isrc/ -I/usr/include/python2.4 -c src/MD2.c -o build/temp.linux-armv6l-2.4/src/MD2.o
    unable to execute gcc: No such file or directory
    error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

    I guess what I really need is a way to compile gcc natively for the board. Anyone have any thoughts?

    So, you want to compile GCC to run on an ARM and generate code for an ARM? I think you should check out the cross-gcc faq and search around. That would sort of be a "Canadian Cross" if I'm not mistaken.

    I know that I've done this once using "buildroot" a few years back on a PXA270. Basically in the buildroot configuration there is (or was) an option to build a native toolchain.
