I am attempting to generate a cross compiler for developing code on our standard embedded Debian build. To do this I'm using crosstool go generate a cross gcc which is compatible with glibc, and the other dynamic libraries of or build.
Since this is a Debian build I need to build against the specific patched glibc installed by the package: libc6_2.3.2.ds1-22_i386.deb However, I don't want to build it in it's entirety, rather just generate the patched source and allow crosstool to finish the build, integrating it into the cross compiler. Following the maintainer's guide, I have downloaded the source version of this package and put it together with: dpkg-source -x glibc_2.3.2.ds1-22.dsc To patch the source I wasn't able to find any specific documentation, but I went ahead and tried: chmod 755 debian/rules make -f debian/rules patch Which correctly extracts everything and then attempts to patch it but fails saying: touch /home/nathan/workspace-new/crosstool/glibc/glibc-2.3.2.ds1/stamp-dir/glibc-2.3.2.tar.bz2 touch /home/nathan/workspace-new/crosstool/glibc/glibc-2.3.2.ds1/stamp-dir/unpack test -d /home/nathan/workspace-new/crosstool/glibc/glibc-2.3.2.ds1/stamp-dir/patched || install -d /home/nathan/workspace-new/crosstool/glibc/glibc-2.3.2.ds1/stamp-dir/patched applying patch debian/patches/10_cvs.dpatch... failed. make: *** [/home/nathan/workspace-new/crosstool/glibc/glibc-2.3.2.ds1/stamp-dir/patch-stamp] Error 1 Do I need to be setting a working directory variable somewhere? Is there an easier way to do this? thank you, Nathan Z. Gustavson Engineer EMAC.Inc www.emacinc.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
