The saga continues:
I retrieved the crypt and linuxthreads
packages and untarred them under the glibc2.1
directory.
I then ran configure again, this time not trying to
disable sanity check. It failed on a test with:
checking for symlinks in
/home/elph/tjl/work/sw/armlinux/arm-linux/include...
../glibc-2.1/configure: test: argument expected
So I went back to the ARM tool web page and reread it. There was some
info for
compiling GCC which I hadn't thought relevant earlier, so I went and
added sym links
as described. But that wasn't the problem was it?
I'd already specified where to find linux headers with the special
configure option:
CC=arm-linux-gcc ../glibc-2.1/configure arm-linux
--prefix=/home/elph/tjl/work/sw/armlinux/arm-linux --enable-add-ons
--with-headers=/home/elph/tjl/work/sw/armlinux/linux/include
Are my prefixes the problem??
I used:
prefix=/home/elph/tjl/work/sw/armlinux
for binutils and egcs
and
prefix=/home/elph/tjl/work/sw/armlinux/arm-linux
for glibc2.1
What sym link is configure actually testing for?
Here is the transcript for that run of configure, if it helps.
