Actually, you don't. Have you tried toolchain-source? It is a nice debian package, but you can have only one set of cross-compilers installed at a time and there never was a version for gcc-2.95. So no 2.4 kernels for you. I am not sure if the cross compiler is actually able to compile kernels for m68k, but with crosstools you can mix and match compiler, binutils and libc6, ie use binutils-2.15.91.0.2 or 2.15.96 if you want to build kernel images. The toolchain-source package has probably the latest debian patches included to build usable binutils, and there is a patch with which you can build older versions of gcc. With crosstool you can build a new or old gcc as soon as the upstream version is out, no need to wait for a maintainer to upload. For crosscompiling for palm however, toolchain-source is great ;-) Christian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
