Re: Newbie problem building newlib-1.12.0 for i386-linux


Michael,

Newlib isn't the default C library for a native linux platform such as i386-linux; glibc is. To get newlib to build for linux, you have to specify the --with-newlib configuration option. I would suggest you specify your target to be i686-pc-linux-gnu if you are targetting the machine you are building with.

Hi all,

I tried to build the newlib but with or without a toolchain for i386-linux I never can built it.

First I extracted newlib-1.12.tar.gz -> $HOME
then created a subdirectory $HOME/newlib-build
then created a subdirectory $HOME/cross

then cd newlib-build
then ../newlib-1.12.0/configure --prefix=$HOME/cross --target=i386-linux

result is:

I don't need info files, only the newlib
can anybody help me, getting the newlib compiled ??

Thanks
