Hello, I have been looking at compiling uClibc ... I just got it to compile ...
But now I have some questions regard gcc ... up until now I have been able to get along fine with a boot strapped version of gcc ... I now have these questions: 1.) After I build uClibc ... should I recompile gcc with uClibc ? 2.) When I built my boot strap gcc is the "--enable-shared" a good idea to have? Can some explain if have this feature is good for embedded systems ... I have some old emails saying "no" ... Regards, Jim I got uClibc to build once I removed the PIC support from the config ... and pointed the build to my correct kernel source ;-) Is it importanted to build with " --enable-shared" ?

I think it has to do with the way I built my compiler ... I believe it has to do with the fact I did not build gcc with the " --enable-shared" option ... Any one know for sure? I will keep reading ...

First off here's some facts: 1.) I have built cross compilers 2.95.3 ... powerpc-linux-gcc with newlib ... etc 2.) I have build bootloader and kernel for embedded board ... 3.) Now I am building uClibc ... I changed the rules.mak file to have the right CROSS=powerpc-linux- ... Now here's my problem: 1.) I do this make defconfig 2.) Then I do this make 3.) Then I see this: powerpc-linux-ld: cannot open /home/jgdon/ppcgcc/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc- linux/2.95.3/pic/crtbeginS.o: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [shared] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jgdon/ppcUClibc/uClibc 0.9.16/libpthread' I have found the file crtbeginS.o in home/jgdon/ppcgcc/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc- linux/2.95.3/ ... or one directory back of where my build is looking ... Any advice would be much appreciated, Jim ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
