I tried to set up a crossdev toolchain following the Gentoo Embedded Handbook. The device I try to compile for is a NSLU2 from Linksys using an ARM (the default bootloader only accepts Big Endian mode). uclibc seems to have become useless for packages later than 2006 so I wanted to crosscompile with glibc. (And if it goes well build a whole new inofficial stage 3 tarball...)
Looking around on the Debian-based SlugOS/BE-distro I had to install, GCC 4.1.2, a kernel 2.6.21 and glibc 2.5 seem to work. Assuming I can apply the available patches for kernel 2.6.24 and maybe a newer (because marked stable) glibc, I ran crossdev with the following arguments:
| Code: | | crossdev --gcc 4.1.2 --libc 2.6.1 --binutils 2.18-r1 --kernel 2.6.24 --target armeb-softfloat-linux-gnu |
That compiled fine. I set up /usr/armeb-softfloat-linux-gnu/etc/make.conf:
| Code: |
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="arm"
ARCH="arm"
CHOST="armeb-softfloat-linux-gnu"
#CFLAGS="-march=armv5t -mtune=xscale -Os -pipe"
CFLAGS="-Os -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard"
MAKEOPTS="-j2"
USE="-* minimal"
# USE="-X -gnome -gtk -kde -qt minimal"

I setup xmerge and pkg-config as told in the docs, copied make.globals and symlinked /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/arm/ as make.profile.
Running xmerge ncurses unfortunately gives me:

Why does it run g++ and c++ from /usr/bin/, shouldn't that be some stuff from the crossdev toolchain in sysroot? ranlib (for armeb) did run before. So there must be something wrong with my toolchain? Did I miss something? Also armeb-softfloat-linux-gnu-gcc got called several times before. Is this a bug in the ncurses ebuild, configure scripts or something similar?
I tried to run crossdev with --ex-gcc --ex-only, added -EB to CFLAGS in case there's some endianess broken, symlinked armeb-softfloat-linux-gnu-c++ (which does not exist?) to armeb-softfloat-linux-gnu-gcc and g++, all with no success. The error message stays the same or compilation breaks even earlier (if I try to symlink).
Here's my xmerge:
| Code: |
#!/bin/sh
export SYSROOT=/usr/armeb-softfloat-linux-gnu/
export ac_cv_func_calloc_0_nonnull=yes
export ac_cv_func_malloc_0_nonnull=yes
export gl_cv_func_malloc_0_nonnull=yes
export ac_cv_func_realloc_0_nonnull=yes
export ac_cv_func_memcmp_working=yes
export ac_cv_func_strnlen_working=yes
export CBUILD=$(portageq envvar CHOST)
export PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT=${SYSROOT}
if [ "$1" = "--root" ] ; then
export ROOT=$2
shift 2
else
export ROOT=${SYSROOT}
fi
#exec emerge "$@"
# also add buildpkg
PKGDIR="/root/crossdev-armeb/buildpkg/" exec emerge -b "$@"
|
Any ideas on what is going wrong? The host system is amd64 (Core2Duo).

Okay, seems like crossdev didn't give me a C++ compiler. Taking a closer look on the build.log for stage 4 I discovered I get it compiled but it's merged into a wrong directory and not symlinked in /usr/bin/:
| Code: |
# ls /usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
armeb-softfloat-linux-gnu armeb-softfloat-linux-uclibc bin binutils-bin gcc-bin lib
# ls /usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/armeb-softfloat-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/4.1.2/
armeb-softfloat-linux-gnu-c++ armeb-softfloat-linux-gnu-g++ armeb-softfloat-linux-gnu-gcc-4.1.2 armeb-softfloat-linux-gnu-gcov
armeb-softfloat-linux-gnu-cpp armeb-softfloat-linux-gnu-gcc armeb-softfloat-linux-gnu-gccbug armeb-softfloat-linux-gnu-gfortran

Either I missed to set some variable or crossdev is broken?
Having symlinked these c++ and g++ to /usr/bin xmerge runs fine.
Edit: Seems to run fine now. However I experience some strange behaviours. Is xmerge system (in particular -e system) expected to remerge ebuilds for my host system? I don't think so.
Edit 2: Ignore that last edit about the host system. I begin to realize cross-compiling has its edges and needs huge amounts of workarounds and patience. I wrote a wrapper to clear things up a bit and avoid emerge going crazy in my host system while cross-compiling. That's a misbehaviour in portage after a change in dependency calculation. It's already filed in the bug tracker, so just ignore that.
However there's still the original problem with my toolchain being incorrectly set up. Any ideas on that? (Despite that issue I already got a good amount of ebuilds compiled; just couldn't transfer and test them on the target system yet)
