--- Comment #23 from Brandon Nielsen <niels...@jetfuse.net> --- Follow up, I've confused myself, and could use guidance. The documentation for packaging cross compilers[0] states "All cross-compilers should add --prefix=/usr/arch-os-libc to ./configure when building the toolchain. This is according to the cross-compiling guidelines in GCC's INSTALL document." I cannot find this guideline in the GCC documentation[1]. I can do this of course, but it results in /usr/msp430-elf/bin, /usr/msp430-elf/lib, etc... I have experimented with this, and with symlinking the resulting binaries into /usr/bin (as noted in the Fedora documentation), the compiler works as expected. That being said, that it not how the most similar cross compiler, avr-gcc, is packaged[2]. So, I count 3 paths forward: 1: Specify prefix as per Fedora guidelines 2: Try to match avr-gcc, with everything going roughly where I would expect, binaries in /usr/bin, library files in /usr/lib/gcc/avr, etc... 3: The terrible hybrid I've done in all the builds above, with binaries going in /usr/bin, libraries and include files mostly going in /usr/msp430-elf/lib, but some going in /usr/lib... I really don't like 3, and I regret ever doing it. In my haste to get a working package together I went with the first thing that worked. I've been trying to do 2, but I'll be darned if I can get a working compiler out of it. 1 is easy, and I've proved it works, but it feels "weird". 0 - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging_Cross_Compiling_Toolchains#Cross-compiling_GCC_tool-chains 1 - https://gcc.gnu.org/install/configure.html 2 - https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/avr-gcc -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
