COMPILER_PACKAGE is the final name of the package to contain your toolchain. We have mostly been using:

scratchbox-toolchain-$(COMPILER_NAME)

COMPILER_NAME is the name of your compiler, usually the same with the directory name it resides under /scratchbox/compilers.

VENDOR is the name used in the architecture triplet, for example in "arm-none-linux-gnu" the VENDOR part is "none-".

For your issue 2, you need to make a host target (target using host compiler) to compile the sb-toolchain-extras with [1].

You can use the configuration files of the prepackaged toolchains at scratchbox.org as an example. They can be found at /scratchbox/compilers/compiler-name/build-config.

$ sb-conf st host -c host-gcc -d perl:debian-etch -t none
$ sb-conf in host -c -d -e
$ sb-conf se host

Jussi,

Thanks for the prompt reply. My compiler did work when called directly from the command line.

These are my issues:

- The .conf file. I have no idea about what my COMPILER_PACKAGE and VENDOR are . And I dont know where to look either.

COMPILER_NAME = uclibc-mipsel
COMPILER_PACKAGE = <you have to fill in this one>
ALIEN_TC = yes

CC_VER = 3.4
CC_GCCVER = 3.4.6
CC_FULLVER = 3:$(CC_GCCVER)
CC_DEBIAN_DIR = gcc-3.4-debian

ARCH = mipsel
SUB_ARCH = $(ARCH)
VENDOR = Unknown
TOOLCHAIN_PREFIX_END = uclibc-
TARGET_END = -uclibc

BINUTILS_FULLVER = 2.17.50.0.12-sb1

HEADERS_DIR = $(COMPILER_DIR)/mipsel-linux-uclibc/include
LINUX_HEADERS_SUBDIRS = linux asm
LINUX_HEADERS_VER = 2.6.12

LIBC_FILES_BINS = lib/gcc/mipsel-linux-uclibc/3.4.6 mipsel-linux-uclibc/lib mipsel-linux-uclibc/target-apps/sbin mipsel-linux-uclibc/target-apps/usr/bin
LIBC_FILES_LIBS = mipsel-linux-uclibc/lib
CHECKSUM_FILE    = ../../$(CONFIG:.conf=.checksums)

When I try to call gcc, this is what I get:

My compiler tree is something like this:

\ bin  -> mipsel-linux-uclibc-gcc .... (the executables)
\include\c++\3.4.6\ -> cctype, cfloat ... (standard c++ headers)
\include\c++\3.4.6\mipsel-linux-uclibc\bits\ -> c++io.h ... (some header files)
\info -> some gz files like gccinstall.info.gz
\lib\gcc\mipsel-linux-uclibc\3.4.6\ -> some binaries : libgcc.a etc
\libexec\gcc\mipsel-linux-uclibc\3.4.6\  -> some binaries like: cc1
\mipsel-linux-uclibc\bin -> gcc, g++ ..
\mipsel-linux-uclibc\include -> header files
\mipsel-linux-uclibc\lib -> libraries like ldUclibc.so
\mipsel-linux-uclibc\sys-include -> header files
\mipsel-linux-uclibc\target-apps\sbin   -> ldconfig
\mipsel-linux-uclibc\target-apps\usr   -> ldd, gdbserver

Thanks for the help,

    It should be, yes.

    At least I have a vague memory of packaging one (mips or mipsel) at
    some point in time and it worked correctly then :)

    The compiler is seen by sb-conf/sb-menu if there's a directory for
    the compiler under /scratchbox/compilers and there exists a file
    called compiler-name which contains information on the compiler. See
    other toolchain packages for various examples. This file is
    generated by sb-toolchain-extras.

    Anyway, given your toolchain works outside scratchbox, the process
    should be somewhat straightforward. The possible problems are mostly
    files in some unusual locations, but that can be solved with proper
    build-time configuration (the .conf file in meta/alien-tc) and/or
    creative symlinking...

    You can also test your compiler using an explicit path, even if you
    have no target, ie.
    /scratchbox/compilers/my-compiler/bin/arch-foo-linux-bar-gcc
    /scratchbox/packages/hello.c and see what happens.

    And if you can provide more detailed error message, then probably me
    (or someone else here) would be more likely to come up with a more
    detailed answer :)

     Jussi

        Hi,

        Is it possible to use a prebuilt mips compiler on scratchbox? I
        have walked through the steps in ForeignToolchains wiki, but no
        joy. My compiler did not even show up in the compilers list (the
        one in the setup menu). Any ideas?

        Thanks,
        Levent
