I want to share status of my cross compiler packages work with all of you.
Some time ago I did a split of them into two: - armel-cross-toolchain-base (1.36 now) - armel-cross-toolchain (1.29 now) Where first one provides binutils, linux headers, libc6 and libgcc packages. Second provides final gcc. Today I got a-c-t-base to a moment when it builds fine on PPA [1]. 1.36 got sent for rebuild to fix missing gcc-4.5-arm-linux-gnueabi-base package. When it will build then a-c-toolchain package will get uploaded for build. Result will deprecate my current repository at people.canonical.com [2] because PPA gives signed repository. On Monday I will probably have to update both components because there was gcc-4.4 upload so probably gcc-4.5 will follow (so I will be able to drop one patch). Additionally I made 'gcc-defaults-armel-cross' package (available in [1]) which makes installing of cross compilers a bit easier (no need to worry which version to install - just "apt-get install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi" is enough). Selection of cross gcc version is done in other way then native one. Native is using "gcc" package which contains /usr/bin/gcc as symlink to /usr/bin/gcc-4.4 file. Cross gcc uses "update-alternatives" to setup /usr/bin/arm-linux- gnueabi-gcc file. I want to fix it in 11.04 so cross gcc will use same method as native one. 1. https://edge.launchpad.net/~hrw/+archive/arm-cross-compiler 2. http://people.canonical.com/~hrw/ubuntu-maverick-armel-cross-compilers/ Regards, -- JID: h...@jabber.org Website: http://marcin.juszkiewicz.com.pl/ LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/marcinjuszkiewicz _______________________________________________ linaro-toolchain mailing list linaro-toolchain@lists.linaro.org http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/linaro-toolchain
