Hi Iain
successes so far:
1)
binutils compiles and installs OK
making in dir /usr/src/arm/binutils, with main tree in /usr/src, I did
./../binu*/configure --target=arm-linux --prefix=/usr
make
make install
2)
egcs partially installed..
making in dir /usr/src/arm/egcs, with main source tree in /usr/src...
linux tree in /usr/src
do
./../eg*/configure --target=arm-linux --prefix=/usr
edit /usr/src/arm/egcs/Makefile to add
-Dinhibit_libc -I/usr/include
to the CFLAGS line
then mkdir /usr/arm-linux
then mkdir /usr/arm-linux/include
then cd /usr/arm-linux/include
then ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/asm-arm .
then ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/linux .
then make LANGUAGES="c"
then make LANGUAGES="c" install
at this point I had a usable gcc and binutils within /usr/arm-linux/bin
now edit linux/Makefile for
ARCH=arm
and
CROSS_COMPILE=/usr/arm-linux/bin/
I can now start to compile arm linux.. but there is an error in file
selection.c within
arch/arm/drivers/char, line 37.. inverse_select needs 2 parameters and is
only given
one in the hash define... I've mailed russell and phil.. hope for an answer
soon
