Hi
I realise that alot of this has been covered in some form or another in
previous messages but I'd just like to check what I've done is correct.
I've attempted to build a ARM linux tool chain and libraries on a i586
RedHat 5.2 system running kernel V2.2.6. Here's my process.
Retrieved binutils-2.9.1.0.23 (no patch?). Configured using
./configure --target=arm-unknown-linux --prefix=/usr
make
make install
All seemed OK.
Retrieved egcs-core-1.1.2 and patched with egcs-1.1.2-arm-diff-990325.
Configured using
./configure --target=arm-unknown-linux --prefix=/usr
cd gcc
make LANGUAGES="C"
make LANGUAGES="C" install
Again seemed OK.
Retrieved glibc-2.1, glibc-crypt-2.0.6, glibc-linuxthreads-2.1 (no
patch?). Configured using
CC=arm-unknown-linux ./configure arm-unknown-linux
--build=i586-linux \
--prefix=/usr/arm-unknown-linux --enable-add-ons
make
failed with missing glibc-lock.h file so I linked to
sysdeps/generic/bits/glibc-lock.h. (Is this OK?)
make
make install
OK?
The tools seemed to work OK in compiling a Hello World program.
I then got linux-2.2.3 source and patched using patch-2.2.3-rmk2 and
linux-2.2.3-philb-990330.
Edit Makefile for ARCH := arm and CROSS_COMPILE = arm-unknown-linux-
I compiling for a RISC PC with a StrongARM processor with 32MB ram 2MB
VRAM and EtherH.
I pretty much left the options as they were except for the following
Configured system type for RISC PC and ARM 6 CPU
Disabled Generic PCI IDE Chipset
Disabled Parallel Port IDE Device
Disabled IrDA subsystem
Disabled 3COM network cards
Disabled sound support
make failed with
drivers/video/video.a (fbdev.o): in function 'fbcon_vga_bmove' :
fbdev.o (.text+0x936c): undefined reference to 'readw'
fbdev.o (.text+0x936c): relocation truncated to fit: R_ARM_PC24
readw
and similar for writew.
I removed the VGA options from the framebuffer section and tried again.
This time it compiled OK
but the loading of the kernel stopped after the message
Now booting kernel
I did get a bit further with a previous attempt that froze after the
initialisation of ther EtherH card.
Basically I just want to know if my tool chain building looks OK and
what options I should and
shouldn't select in the kernel configuration for my machine.
Thanks
