Hi all. I'm trying to build a mips cross compiler on an x86_64 build
system, and I am running into an error; I've investigated as far as I
can but am at a loss to understand how the configure process is
supposed to work in this scenario.
Hey again. Sorry for the trouble; I figured out what my error was:
1. I was copying the glibc-ports sysdeps directory directly into my
glibc sources, which was not putting it under a 'ports' subdirectory
within glibc. Maybe I missed it somewhere, but I found no instructions
that indicated that this was how glibc-ports is supposed to be
integrated into the glibc source directory, but some google searching
found some configure script output that clued me in.
2. I was not specifying --enable-add-on=ports to glibc configure. The
glibc-ports README has a very confusing reference to this option that I
didn't understand, but do now.
Thanks!
