Greetings everyone, I got around building myself up-to-date PA-RISC cross-compiling tools for PPC, as Debian archives, for those who might be interested:
binutils-hppa-linux_2.14.90.0.7-1_powerpc.deb gcc-hppa-linux_3.3.3-1_powerpc.deb The following were also repackaged using dpkg-cross: libdb1-compat-hppa-cross_2.1.3-7_powerpc.deb libc6-hppa-cross_2.3.2.ds1-11_powerpc.deb libc6-dev-hppa-cross_2.3.2.ds1-11_powerpc.deb linux-kernel-headers-hppa-cross_2.5.999-test7-bk-15_powerpc.deb ...along with the following dummy package equivalences: bison-hppa-cross_1.875a-1_all.deb flex-hppa-cross_2.5.31-1_all.deb indent-hppa-cross_2.2.9-1_all.deb pkg-config-hppa-cross_0.15.0-1_all.deb The above kit allows building a 2.6.5-pa8-712 kernel in less than 30 minutes, as opposed to a whole afternoon when compiled natively on the 9000/712-60 itself. The stanza I use with kernel-package to produce ready to install Debs is then: CC=/usr/bin/hppa-linux-gcc make-kpkg --arch hppa --revision omena.6 kernel-image Would the parsic-linux team be interested in hosting those specialized packages (since they hardly stand a chance of ever being accepted by the Debian project)? PS: if there is interest, I could package the same cross-compiling kit for i386. -- Martin-�ric Racine, ICT Consultant http://www.pp.fishpool.fi/~q-funk/
