Hi, I'd like to help with the Hurd, but I can't get to first base... I tried a binary distribution (J2) but it wouldn't boot - looks like interrupt conflicts with my ethernet card since "eepro100..." was the last thing I saw before the screen went blank. So I am trying to cross compile from my existing system (which is Pink Tie 9, not Debian, but I do have dpkg). I tried to follow the instructions in hurd/INSTALL-cross, but no luck. I have a working cross-compiler and cross-binutils. However, I cannot yet link a Hurd executable, because I do not have crt1.o (which is presumably part of the Hurd libc). Therefore ./configure fails on gnumach since it includes AC_PROG_CC, which tests for a working compiler and complains "... cannot create executables".
I am working on the current HEAD cvs hurd, gnumach and mig. What is the correct order of compilation, then? Can I create a Hurd libc before compiling gnumach? Or is there really a circular dependency here? Since crt1.o is a user-level object, surely it is not really needed to compile the kernel, so is it possible to remove the check (AC_PROG_CC) somehow? Really hoping for some help...
