Hi, CrossGCC FAQ: "How to configure, build, and install GCC as cross-compiler" This is the document that I have been working all along for the past week, which did NOT lead to any progress. It seems to me at this point that there is really NO absolute reliable documentation for how to configure, build, and install cross-compiler. I would like to know: what is the likelyhood that someone who grabs this document and follow the procedure, will get a working version in his 1st trial (or, second)? from my exeperience, searching in all kinds of FAQ, for suitable document to answer for clean answer of how to configure/build/install the gcc as cross-compiler, the answers varies so much, and the patches the each one of you had to work around are huge. We all know that working with a new tool at first time is the hardest thing; especially, when working with an open source that can be touched and changed by many people. I get advices from you, according for your experience with the gcc configure; with luck, we are working on the same platform and having the same problem. I am so frustrated from all of this. I will put down as much info as I can (detailed) and I would expect to get an inteligent answer for what I should do, and why I should do that...without understanding of the the reasoning, I would be lost. I am working on sun_sparc_solaris computer, and I would like to get a cross compiler for the m68k-coff cpu. that what I have in my direcory: /home/users/ronenl/ newlib-1.8.2/ unpacked gdb-5.0/ unpacked gcc-2.95.2/ unpacked binutils-2.10/ unpacked build-binutils/ empty buils-gcc/ empty build-newlib/ empty build-gdb/ empty I am quoting from the documnt: (http://www.objsw.com/CrossGCC/FAQ-4.html) cd /home/foo host=sparc-sun-solaris target=m68k-coff prefix=/bar i=$prefix/bin --> what is the use of i??? mkdir build-binutils build-gcc build-newlib build-gdb cd build-binutils ../binutils-2.9/configure --target=$target --prefix=$prefix -v make all install Q: can someone take the time and give me a specific details of what I need to change to be able to pass this stage (I am not talking yet of the next steps). the major problem I was facing: argv.c lines 38,39 : <stdlib.h> <string.h> could Not be find. I was suggested to do: --with-headers /newlib/libc/include which copied the directory but still did not solved the problem. I am sure that alot of people here dealt with this kind of problem, and I suggest that we should strive to have a least one documet that is reliable enough to the gcc beginners. thanx, ronen. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
