As a temporary workaround, you can pin the binutils-arm-linux-gnueabi to version 2.20.51.20100908-0ubuntu2cross1.50. It seems to still linger around the various Ubuntu mirrors. Please note the sysroot setting was removed from binutils due to bug #598389, so don't expect xdeb to work properly with the pinned binutils version. I'm currently considering repackaging the binutils package with sysroot enabled for those of us which needs it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/692987 Title: [armel-cross] this linker was not configured to use sysroots -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 692987] Re: [armel-cross] this linker was not configured to use sysroots
Its a pity that sysroot support is disabled and will not be enabled. In fact this is a major and serious obstacle for our company and puts spokes in the wheels for an upcoming software release. Now we need to find or configure an alternate toolchain. The beauty of Ubuntu's armel-cross was that is was configured with libc friends equal to the native armel target, making it a decent cross compiler for an Ubuntu target environment. To use the cross compiler in this manner, you'd need the support from sysroot to properly build and link applications (outside of xdeb) which won't get confused when running on target. So, if the sysroot setting is gone for good, then I'm very sorry, because this was something we really needed. Are there any commercial parties tied up to Canonical etc. which can make a toolchain with sysroot enabled on request? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/692987 Title: [armel-cross] this linker was not configured to use sysroots -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Sysroot support is disabled and will not be enabled. To cross compile Ubuntu packages you can use xdeb which will install all required development packages. You can also use xapt to just install dependencies and then use cross compiler to build your software. This is what is supported and how it works. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/692987 Title: [armel-cross] this linker was not configured to use sysroots -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Linker is part of armel-cross-toolchain-base. Sysroot support got disabled as it broke whole cross toolchain in Ubuntu. ** Package changed: gcc-defaults-armel-cross (Ubuntu) = armel-cross- toolchain-base (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/692987 Title: [armel-cross] this linker was not configured to use sysroots -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
