Hi Guys,

C++ compilation is not available for the VT4 due to the toolchain used
by Freecom for that device.

So no packages that depend on C++ compilation work.  "man" is one of
them.  We should probably just remove it from the feed.

Does this mean that any C++ dependant package won't work
here? - Even when creating a custom toolchain and doing a cross-compile manually
with all of the dependencies as well?

If you are able to create a custom toolchain that works with the vendor
libraries and C++ on the VT4, then please post the details and we will
update Optware to use your toolchain.  The current toolchain we got from
the vendor will not compile C++ programs.

Please make sure it can build at least as many packages as the current
toolchain first, and that at least a few of the C and C++ packages are
actually tested on the device.

On vt4, with the freecom provided toolchain it requires some work.

If anyone creates a custom toolchain that supports C++, we're open to
integrate it.
