I'm still having the problem I sent to the list last week (see
below), and the need to build a working cross-compiler is becoming
greater. Is this the wrong list to ask about how to build a cross-
compiler? I find it hard to believe that mips-elf is not a supported
target. I just noticed that the target with the problem appears to
be libstdc++, which we may not even need. But I would still be
interested in building a more recent, working cross compiler tool
chain, so any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Alfred
My original message:
We have a rather ancient (gcc 3.2.3/binutils 2.13) cross-compile
tool chain hosted on x86 Linux for a mips-elf target. Nobody
remembers who or how it was built. We are running into a bug with
as/ld that is supposedly fixed in binutils 2.17 and on. So I
thought I may as well upgrade the entire tool chain. Here are the
steps I followed (I'm sticking with gcc 3.X because there is some
reluctance to jump to V4.X) :
cd /some/where
tar zxf bintuils-2.18.tar.gz
tar zxf gcc-3.4.6.tar.gz
tar zxf gcc-g++-3.4.6.tar.gz
cd bintuils-2.18
./configure --target=mips-elf --prefix=/usr/local/mips-tools/
elf/3.4.6
make
make install
export PATH=/usr/local/mips-tools/elf/3.4.6/bin:$PATH
cd ../gcc-3.4.6
./configure --target=mips-elf --prefix=/usr/local/mips-tools/
elf/3.4.6
make
At some point make calls configure, and I get the following error:
configure: error: No support for this host/target combination.
make: *** [configure-target-libstdc++-v3] Error 1
My questions are;
1. Did I miss anything?
2. Can I simply use the bintuils 2.18 binaries with
the existing gcc 3.2.3 tool chain?
I ask the second question in case it's too complicated to fix
whatever is causing the build error in the first place.
Thanks,
Alfred
