 |
|
Hello Folks, I've just started trying to cross compile xorg for an ARM machine, and am getting trouble with this:
./config/imake/imake: ./config/imake/imake: cannot execute binary file
command I used was:
ROOT=/opt/cross CHOST=arm-unknown-linux-gnu USE="cross arm" emerge xorg-x11 --nodeps
Any suggestions on what to look at?
Thanks much |

raphaelb,
| Code: | | CHOST=arm-unknown-linux-gnu |
is certainly wrong. That says you are compining on an arm system.
looks a bit strange too. That would set two USE flags, 'cross' and 'arm'. I don't think they exist.
Your first step is to aquire a cross compiler tool chain. There are many ways of doing that.
| Code: | | emerge sys-devel/crossdev-0.9.10 |
will provide a tools with which to generate cross compiler toolchains for many crosses. I don't know if the one you want is there.

Thank you for your reply.
the CHOST=arm-unknown-linux-gnu is what I've been using for cross compiling,
I should have also mentioned I have CBUILD set in make.conf to x86
I built my cross toolchain with crossdev, and have compiled several things (including even tougher compiles like glibc) for arm with this method.
Sometimes it seems to get confused, and as far as I can tell, what is happening is that it compiles imake for arm, then trys to run it on this machine, which is an x86 machine.
Any ideas? |
