Hi all, as there were some mails on this list concerning problems using the bering-uclibc buildtool with gcc4.0, i would like to add some final comments from the bering-uclibc team. Buildtool uses its own gcc compiler (3.3.3) for building the actual programs, but this compiler has to be build by the host compiler. The latest compiler that is capable of doing this, is from the gcc3.4 series, newer ones do not work and are not supported.
We took a deeper look and as it does not seems so easy to fix, it will stay that way for now. The combination of host-gcc, build-gcc and uclibc is quite fragile, we detected serious failures by changing only one of them. Our intention is to change this restriction with our next major release. If you use a distribution that comes with a gcc4 compiler natively, you might still be able to install an additional, older compiler as an addition (at least for ubuntu and debian testing, this is true). In this case, you can change the value of HOSTCC in the make/MasterInclude.mk to the name of that compiler (which is usually named something like gcc-3.4), and it should work. --arne -- Arne Bernin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.ucBering.de ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the JBoss Inc.
