hi, i tried to build an crosscompiler for building sparc binaries on an debian i686 system. i took the gcc-2.95-2.95.4.ds14 source package and read README.cross. I did everything as it was written there. The sparc architecture isn't mentioned, but i found the binutils-sparc package, so i think that this should work too.
well, when calling 'dpkg-buildpackage', i get the following error (after some minutes): make[4]: Entering directory `/usr/sparc/gcc-2.95-2.95.4.ds14/build-native/i386-linux/libg++/utils' make[4]: Nothing to be done for `info'. make[4]: Leaving directory `/usr/sparc/gcc-2.95-2.95.4.ds14/build-native/i386-linux/libg++/utils' cd etc; make info ... make[4]: Entering directory `/usr/sparc/gcc-2.95-2.95.4.ds14/build-native/i386-linux/libg++/etc' make[4]: Nothing to be done for `info'. make[4]: Leaving directory `/usr/sparc/gcc-2.95-2.95.4.ds14/build-native/i386-linux/libg++/etc' cd test-install; make info ... make[4]: Entering directory `/usr/sparc/gcc-2.95-2.95.4.ds14/build-native/i386-linux/libg++/test-install' make[4]: Nothing to be done for `info'. make[4]: Leaving directory `/usr/sparc/gcc-2.95-2.95.4.ds14/build-native/i386-linux/libg++/test-install' make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/sparc/gcc-2.95-2.95.4.ds14/build-native/i386-linux/libg++' make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/sparc/gcc-2.95-2.95.4.ds14/build-native/i386-linux/libg++' chmod 755 /usr/sparc/gcc-2.95-2.95.4.ds14/src-native/contrib/warn_summary if [ -x /usr/sparc/gcc-2.95-2.95.4.ds14/src-native/contrib/warn_summary ]; then \ rm -f bootstrap-summary; \ /usr/sparc/gcc-2.95-2.95.4.ds14/src-native/contrib/warn_summary bootstrap-protocol \ > bootstrap-summary; \ fi : # build libg2c.a with PIC enabled rm -rf /usr/sparc/gcc-2.95-2.95.4.ds14/build-native/i386-linux/libf2c-pic cp -a /usr/sparc/gcc-2.95-2.95.4.ds14/build-native/i386-linux/libf2c \ /usr/sparc/gcc-2.95-2.95.4.ds14/build-native/i386-linux/libf2c-pic cp: cannot stat `/usr/sparc/gcc-2.95-2.95.4.ds14/build-native/i386-linux/libf2c': No such file or directory make[1]: *** [stamps/05-build-stamp-native] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/sparc/gcc-2.95-2.95.4.ds14' make: *** [stamps/05-build-stamp-native] Error 2 i'm not sure if this is an bug. i would be glad if you could help me fixing this problem. i want to cross compile the kernel (linux), because my sparc station ultra1 is very slow. thanks, moritz --
