asymptotik/crosstool-arm-osx

Scripts to install crosstool-ng and generate a cross compiler on osx for targeting arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi. More specifically, I use it as a script to create a develpment cross compiler on osx to compile code for the Raspberry Pi.

I dont know where the build.log is located
I have xcode 5.0.2 and maveriks

version without homebrew

would it be possible for you to create a version that just uses macports? It would speed things along.

The current version failed for me. I am now using Virtual Box with debian and crosstool-ng as a workaround (I still find it crazy that ubuntu/debian/macports/etc do not ship a raspberry pi cross compiler).

What means cmd && true?

It looks like you want to suppress bash's exit on error, which is enabled with set -e. If so you should write:

command || true

Homebrew adds "g" prefix to new grep, install etc

Homebrew adds a "g" prefix to all the dupes (ggrep, ginstall, gar) etc..
ct-ng build will fail because of that
