			== OpenWGT toolchain ==
			A working toolchain for the Netgear WGT634U is provided by OpenWGT, which bases on an old version of the [http://openwrt.org OpenWrt] buildroot.<br>
			To build this toolchain, first checkout the buildroot tree from subversion:

			$ svn co svn://svn.sar.informatik.hu-berlin.de/openwgt-dev

			Afterwards, simply build it by running:

			$ make toolchain -C openwgt-dev/buildroot

			Finally you should be able to find the cross-compiler, linker and other tools in '''openwgt-dev/buildroot/build_mipsel/staging_dir/bin/'''.

			== OpenWrt/FreeWRT toolchain ==
			'''TODO'''

= Introduction =
The first challange to get the BRN software for a new target platform you have to build a (cross) compiler.<br>
A compiler translates a high-level programming language, like C or C++ into binary code for execution on the target platform's CPU.<br>
We will need a GCC (GNU Compiler Collection/GNU C Compiler) with support for the C and C++ programming languages to build the Linux kernel and the click modular router.<br>
A cross compiler generates code for another platforms than it is running on. (e.g. a MIPS cross compiler running on an x86 Linux Workstation)<br>

= Search for ready-to-use toolchains =
There are many projects supporting Linux on embedded platforms (e.g. MIPS, ARM, PPC or M68k) and they published toolchains to get a (cross) compiler in a simple manner.
