Rob,
I have solutions to both of those and I have copied my notes below for
you. I am still playing around with the uClibc build as there are still
some issues with the libraries. Just a word of warning, my notes below
are raw notes, although after another quick read they should be easily
read. I hope they help. The re-adjusting notes will fix your current
toolchain issue.
Tomorrow I will be restarting Ch6 to try some more ideas I have.
Primarily there is an option to force text areas in the libraries to be
shared which I am going to try turning off. This may not make any sense
as by brain is turning to jelly.
Cheers,
Brian.
uClibc-0.9.29
* Add patch
http://uclibc.org/~aldot/uClibc/uClibc-0.9.29-fix-internal_function-definition.patch
<http://uclibc.org/%7Ealdot/uClibc/uClibc-0.9.29-fix-internal_function-definition.patch>
to build so that gettext will build correctly
* Add patch uClibc-0.9.29-fix-error_print_progname.patch to allow
gettext (and other packages which need error_print_progname) to
compile correctly
* make -C utils install cannot execute as there is no install target.
* Use the following install lines rather than make –C utils install
* install -v -m755 utils/readelf /usr/bin/
* install -v -m755 utils/ldconfig /sbin/
* install -v -m755 utils/ldd /usr/bin/
* install -v -m755 utils/iconv /usr/bin/
Re-adjusting the Toolchain
* After adjusting the GCC specs file and before running the sanity
check there are a few more things we need to do to enable a sane
building environment. Firstly execute ‘ln –s
/tools/lib/libssp_nonshared* /lib/’ this will provide the ssp
libraries which will be replaced in a moment when we build the
butterfly toolchain. The ssp libraries are required otherwise GCC
won’t create any output. (may also need to link the libssp.* as well)
* The readelf command from the sanity check needs to be altered to
the uClibc form which is ‘readelf a.out | grep "^Interpreter"’
* The output from ‘grep found dummy.log’ is “found ld-uClibc.so.0 at
/lib/ld-uClibc.so.0/lib/libssp.so: warning: the 'gets' function is
dangerous and should not be used.”
