Jon,
Thanks for the information. With this I was able to get further in
building a softfloat toolchain in scratchbox. Before building a custom
toolchain I tried building the toolchain as specified by
crosstool-armv5b-gcc-3.4.5-glibc-2.3.5.conf. The toolchain was built
successfully, I did make a couple of minor changes to the .conf file
for the build to succeed:
- changed include $(CROSSTOOL_DIR)/gcc-3.4.5-glibc-2.3.5-hdrxxx.dat to
include $(CROSSTOOL_DIR)/gcc-3.4.5-glibc-2.3.5.dat, since a .dat file
with the original name doesn't exist in crosstool-0.42.tar.gz (this I
believe is the latest version since I downloaded this yesterday).
- changed DPKG_ARCH from armv5b to arm, since dpkg didin't recognize armv5b.
After these changes the toolchain does get built successfully. However
some tests in the ./init_tests.sh fail. I am pasting the test results
below.
I tried building the hello-world package and it builds fine, but
doesn't run. This is the error message I get:
[sbox-armv5: ~/hello-world] > ./hello
Error loading ./hello
[sbox-armv5: ~/hello-world] > ldd hello
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00000000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00000000)
Another runtime problem I run into is related to the sb_gcc_wrapper as
shown below:
[sbox-armv5: ~/hello-world] > arm-linux-gcc --v
sb_gcc_wrapper (arm-linux-gcc): arm-linux-gcc cannot be recognized
Maybe you are trying to run a compiler of a wrong architecture?
Don't know why the sb wrapper doesn't recognize any arm-linux-xxx commands.
I don't know if the problems mentioned above are related to the
changes I made to the .conf file, would appreciate it if someone could
confirm this. If so, please tell me what the correct values are for
the changes I made as mentined above.
I also run into a compile time problem, which seems to be specific to
gcc version 3.4 since I donot see this compiler error with gcc 3.3.
The error is pasted below:
In file included from
/scratchbox/compilers/ezx-toolchain//qt-2.3.6/include/qwindowdefs.h:44,

Is there a GCC patch that might fix this problem? I'll also search on
the net to see if I can find something.
I look forward to any helpful responses regarding this. init_tests.sh
ouput is pasted below....
Thanks,
Rohit
