Can you post the errors you are having on OS X? I'm running the toolchain natively, can take a look.

Would like that too, do you, by any chance, have some kind of "Howto Install native toolchain on a Mac", that would be brilliant!

I have left some notes in this post, but patching xtensa.sh and disabling static lib is no longer necessary with the latest crosstool-NG. So the only trick left is to force a specific version of grep. Apart from that, clone the lx106-g++ branch if you need c++ support.

When this site gets a wiki, i'll write a page for OS X users.

Thanks igrr, it's seems that it has become somewhat easier than before. Tried the Lubuntu VM under Mac Virtual box, and with some difficulty I got the build of the AT sample working. Did not like the resulting complexity to get C code going.

Since then I've switched to the Lua-nodeMcu environment. That's a lot of fun right now, when the fun is over I'll focus on the Mac toolchain and some C-coding.
