Hi All,
I might be stepping into the realm of silly questions here, but here
goes. :-)
For the source package to kernel-image-2.4.5-sun4u-smp, do we still
use egcs64 to build kernels ? The precompiled images boot up with:
Linux version 2.4.5 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 3.0 20010426
(Debian prerelease)) 1
which leads me to believe that they've been compiled with gcc 3.0.
The debian/control file for this package even states that
gcc-3.0-sparc64 is required for the build - but the build fails on my
machine if sparc64-linux-gcc cannot be found, and this binary only
exists in the egcs64 package - which is not listed as a build
prerequisite.
Should egcs64 be in the debian/control file under Build-Depends, or is
kernel package out-of-date/wrong ?
(or have I totally missed the plot, in which case what packages should
I have installed to be able to build a kernel from source properly ?)
Any help is much appreciated.
Cheers,
Marcus
