Hi, First, some documentation's "corrections":
#dpkg takes the package name, not the deb name. 5. C library. First of all, you should remove the package with libc development headers. So, for glibc, do $ dpkg --remove libc6-dev-headers-<arch>-cross or, in case of uclibc target: $ dpkg --remove libuclibc-dev-headers-<arch>-cross #Specific(?) recommandations to host toolchain #Emdebian team: They are the main ideas, you can rewrite them ;) -Check dependancy with dpkg-buildpackage -D before to try to build the package. I'm not sure, but that's possible that some package depend on version not included in sarge. Install sarge packages worked for me. -GCC debs complains about gcc-3.4-base ( http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?searchmode=filelist&word=gcc-3.4-base&version=stable&arch=powerpc ) , which isn't useful here, just force install with --force-depends (see man dpkg-buildpackage). > Hi, > > Julien wrote: > > Hi, > > > > Julien wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > > > Alexander Shishkin wrote: > > > > On 6/18/06, Julien <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > Hi, > > > > Hi, > > > > > > > > > I'm working on a powerpc host.

I will build some packages this week, to check if there isn't some hidden problems. The slind team did an excellent work, with a wonderful documentation. That was exactly what I searched(/waited) since(?) some months. Many thanks to them. Best regards Julien Accédez au courrier électronique de La Poste : www.laposte.net 3615 LAPOSTENET (0,34 /mn)
