Re: crosstool cleanup, again ;-)


Yann,
great work!

I have now tried to use it on MacOS X and after getting some packages through MacPorts and tweaking some environment variables, I could run the menu configuration.

Well, I did have to manually add -lintl within kconfig/Makefile I guess that won't harm other *ix systems.

I will now try to build a compiler...

Hello all!

About three months ago I wrote about the subject: cleaning up crosstool.
It appeared to be a bigger task I thought it would. :-(


So I stopped trying to think of a way to update crosstool, and tried a new
approach: re-write it.


You can check my work on my wiki:
http://ymorin.is-a-geek.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=projects:crosstool

And the code is available through anonymous svn access:
svn co http://ymorin.is-a-geek.org/svn/crosstool/ct-ng

The targeted audience are people with some good basis and the know- how about
toolchains.


Main features are:
- menuconfig ( most important! :-) ),
- design from the ground-up,
- designed to support alternative components (see below),
- kernel headers from headers_install with recent kernels,
- large number of versions for gcc, glibc, uClibc, binutils and kernels,
- some sample targets configurations,
- a collection of patches vampirised from current crosstool and buildroot,
plus a few by me,
- improved (and eye-candy) logging facility,
- documentation (sparse for now, improving),
- ...


My main concern was to be able to build toolchains with different components:
- glibc or uClibc or ...
- gcc or tcc or ...
- linux or cygwin (or ?...)
- etc...


Hopefully adding one alternative component to the build process is as simple
as adding a config file and a build script for this component (already there
are glibc/uClibc).


It's not fully ready yet, but I thought someone would like to have a look.
Comments most welcome!


Thank you for your attention.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
