Yes, there is i386-gnu-gcc, but this is only part of the story. Of course, it is a funcrional compiler, but depends on a certain version of egcs. Better get the i386-gnu-gcc source and build your own version of the package. However, even better to ditch this ol' stinking Windows partition that is STILL laying around and install the Hurd :) Fresh packages uploaded today. Native building of packages IS possible now. Note that setting up a cross compiler directly involves installing Hurd header files and libraries, which means you should doa hurd partition anyway. > I'd like to try to build Debian GNU/Hurd versions of my packages: ACE, > TAO, gdk/imlib and libtool. Considering that ACE/TAO have never been > compiled for the Hurd, I thought it might be interesting. :) Well, libtool is binary all, so no work needed here. It is already up to date automatically. gdk/imlib will need X devel files, right? So we have to work on X first. Will be attacked soon. ace also needs xlib6 I see. Mmmh. I think we have to start a discussion about X soon. X should not be a big problem, but the input device hardware support bothers me. > BTW, are the Hurd cross-compile howtos/e-mails up to date? Mmmmh. Difficult question. Everone who does cross compile has a working env, and we don't really need it anymore (only for glibc and hurd itself). > Marcus, how about a link about cross-compiling for the Hurd on your > Debian GNU/Hurd home page. :-) Excellent :) The Hurd pages will be completely replaced (they are sooo out of date). But i have to get cvs write access to the web pages. Unfortunately, the person in charge seems to be away currently. Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
