Hello, I successfully cross-compiled binutils & gcc then I installed native sparc-linux libraries, like libgcc & libc5, be able to link programs for sparc-linux. I did a small test with the hello package. It works :-))
I also built part of dpkg Debian package under Solaris (only dpkg, dpkg-deb and dpkg-* scripts). Dpkg was developed with Linux target in mind, so I have to fix some programs to be able to build them under Solaris :-(( I did quick hacks and they apparently work :-) The next step was to try to build a package (eg. hello). I ran "make -f debian/rules binary" but it failed because the "install" program available under Solaris doesn't accept multiple directories to create. Workaround: I installed GNU fileutils. But now, it's ldd which fails to trace libraries a program depends on: # dpkg-shlibdeps hello hello: Cannot find /lib/ld-linux.so.1 ldd: hello: execution failed due to signal 9 dpkg-shlibdeps: failure: ldd on `hello' gave error exit status 1 In fact, ldd cannot run the target program because it is for sparc-linux :-( I imagine I have to write a new ldd program that doesn't run the target but reads its symbol's table looking for library names. Does anyone have already written such program? Thanks in advance Eric. -- Eric Delaunay | "La guerre justifie l'existence des militaires. [EMAIL PROTECTED] | En les supprimant."
