If
1- You expand CXBE (PE format to XBE format converter) to also convert Linux ELF format executables to XBE.
2- You might need some minor linker (ld) modifications too (??)

then yes, you can build .xbe with openxdk under linux.  <

I've gotten it to be able to use a gcc-cross compiler to compile the openxdk samples in linux.

You need to get and install.. hrm where is it..

http://members.lycos...sh.i586.tar.bz2

install that, install openxdk into /usr/local/openxdk I believe is where it wants it.. then add some softlinks from /usr/local/openxdk/bin to the /opt/cross-tools or wherever you installed the cross compiler.

you're gonna need a new version of cxbe, actually.. so far this is a problem for me I haven't figured out how to run this in linux, it crashes the version of wine I'm running and I haven't been able to compile it yet.

oh and don't use an executor bios, they won't work.  This is a documented bug with openxdk and isn't solved yet.

and there you go.  I'm gonna write this up into a nice tutorial soon, once I've ironed out all the bugs.
