Dear Wang, I am sorry that I am not a Linux person, and the only engineer who might help with such a thing, as he created the tar balls, is on vacation. I will ask him to take a look when he returns, though I am certain he will say something like "it is unsupported."
Still, I try to get him to contact you. Sorry, -Richard Bullwinkle TiVo Webmaster -----Original Message----- From: Wang Yong [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 11, 1999 7:12 PM To: TiVo Webmaster Cc: linuxppc embedded mail list Subject: Re: TiVo Kernel for 403GCX Update (was Re: Support for IBM CPUs?) i downloaded the toolchain from tivo/linux but failed to build it on my i386 box. i have installed cross gcc for ppc-2.95.2 under /usr/local/gcc-ppc. below is what i did to build: 1. uncompress toolchain.tar.gz to my work directory 2. run libc-ppc/doConfig 3. create libc-ppc/configparms contains these lines: CC=/usr/local/gcc-ppc/bin/gcc AR=/usr/local/gcc-ppc/bin/ar RANLIB=/usr/local/gcc-ppc/bin/ranlib AS=/usr/local/gcc-ppc/bin/as LD=/usr/local/gcc-ppc/bin/ld BUILD_CC=/usr/bin/gcc 4. run "make all" under directory "libc-ppc" after a while, i was told something wrong: mv -f /root/toolchain/libc-ppc/csu/crtn.s-new /root/toolchain/libc-ppc/csu/crtn.s /usr/local/gcc-ppc/bin/gcc -c /root/toolchain/libc-ppc/csu/crti.s -o /root/toolchain/libc-ppc/csu/crti.o /usr/local/gcc-ppc/bin/gcc -c /root/toolchain/libc-ppc/csu/crtn.s -o /root/toolchain/libc-ppc/csu/crtn.o /usr/local/gcc-ppc/bin/gcc ../sysdeps/powerpc/elf/crtbegin.S -c -I. -I.. -I../libio -I/root/toolchain/libc-ppc -I../sysdeps/powerpo /usr/local/gcc-ppc/bin/gcc ../sysdeps/powerpc/elf/crtend.S -c -I. -I.. -I../libio -I/root/toolchain/libc-ppc -I../sysdeps/powerpc/o make[2]: *** No rule to make target `/root/toolchain/libc-ppc/csu/crtbeginS.o', needed by `others'. Stop. make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/toolchain/libc/csu' make[1]: *** [csu/others] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/toolchain/libc' make: *** [all] Error 2 i check the csu/Makefile and found the error may be caused by makefile. so i build crtbegin.so by myself and copy to the right place and after that i can go on. but another error appeared when build library of nss and nis. it seems it's also makefile's problem. is there something wrong in these steps? i think the makefile should be correct and i must do something wrong. has anyone already build libc-ppc successfully?
