Hi,
I try to compile GT4 for nokia n810 using scratchbox.
But when I run run ./configure it ask me for a flavor ??
"checking build system type... arm-unknown-linux-gnu
Unable to guess flavor. Please use --with-flavor= to specify one"
Can someone could explain me what I must use or which flavor exists.
Thanks,
Maxime
This is a new target for Globus, so the build is likely going to be
pretty tricky.
This email is based on some notes I have for a different cross-compile
system I used a few years back, so there might be gaps and errors.
Depending on your system, it might be necessary to modify
globus_common to implement bits of the c runtime which are missing
from your target environment.
If you are feeling extremely brave, continue on:
Determine the cross compiler toolchain name (usually a string that's
prepended to the GNU compiler tools like arm-gcc3.3-glibc2.3) and make
sure the compiler and binutils are available in your path.
To build an installer with a custom toolchain, use a command line this:
env CC=${TOOLCHAIN}-gcc LD=${TOOLCHAIN}-ld CPP=${TOOLCHAIN}-cpp CXX=$
{TOOLCHAIN}-c++ ./configure --with-flavor=gcc32 --with-
buildopts="CONFIGOPTS_GPTMACRO=--build=`./config.guess`\ --target=$
{TOOLCHAIN}\ --host=${TOOLCHAIN}" --prefix=${TOOLCHAIN}
env CC=${TOOLCHAIN}-gcc LD=${TOOLCHAIN}-ld CPP=${TOOLCHAIN}-cpp CXX=$
{TOOLCHAIN}-c++ make
I think there might be some cases where the configure scripts will
fail because they can't detect things like sizeof(off_t). If that
occurs, you'll need to create a config.cache file containing the
expected results of those tests. Save that file someplace, (make a
copy because it might get modified by the configure scripts) and add --
cache-file=PATH-TO-CACHE to the CONFIGOPTS_GPTMACRO part of the above
installer configure line.
Of course, even if you manage to get GT built, it might be difficult
get it to fit and work in a limited environment. I'd recommend first
building globus_common and the globus_common_test package and trying
to get those to run successfully on your device before trying to build
larger bits of the toolkit.
Good Luck.
