I'm building a linux distro for work, that runs on embedded systems with either and ARM 9 or a PowerPC 603. I've had great luck building a cross compiler w/ crosstools and using them in the compiler jail created by Scratchbox. Now I am working on porting all my work to the PowerPC. The actual chipset is the MPC8270 which uses the e600 corre. When I build the cross compilers I have selected GCC-4.0.1 and GLIBC-2.3.5 for both setups. I create my jail in Scratchbox for the PowerPC and try compiling any of the GNU applications and when running the configure script I get:
<./configure for sed-4.1.5> checking build system type... config/config.guess: unable to guess system type This script, last modified 2008-01-08, has failed to recognize the operating system you are using. It is advised that you download the most up to date version of the config scripts from http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/*checkout*/config/config/config.guess and http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/*checkout*/config/config/config.sub If the version you run (./config.guess.old) is already up to date, please send the following data and any information you think might be pertinent to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in order to provide the needed information to handle your system. config.guess timestamp = 2008-01-08 uname -m = powerpc uname -r = 2.6.18-5-686 uname -s = Linux uname -v = #1 SMP Fri Jun 1 00:47:00 UTC 2007 /usr/bin/uname -p = /bin/uname -X = hostinfo = /bin/universe = /usr/bin/arch -k = powerpc /bin/arch = powerpc /usr/bin/oslevel = /usr/convex/getsysinfo = UNAME_MACHINE = powerpc UNAME_RELEASE = 2.6.18-5-686 UNAME_SYSTEM = Linux UNAME_VERSION = #1 SMP Fri Jun 1 00:47:00 UTC 2007 configure: error: cannot guess build type; you must specify one [sbox-PPC: ~/devel/packages/sed/sed-4.1.5] > So I looked into configure.guess and I find: UNAME_MACHINE=`(uname -m) 2>/dev/null` || UNAME_MACHINE=unknown UNAME_RELEASE=`(uname -r) 2>/dev/null` || UNAME_RELEASE=unknown UNAME_SYSTEM=`(uname -s) 2>/dev/null` || UNAME_SYSTEM=unknown UNAME_VERSION=`(uname -v) 2>/dev/null` || UNAME_VERSION=unknown # Note: order is significant - the case branches are not exclusive. case "${UNAME_MACHINE}:${UNAME_SYSTEM}:${UNAME_RELEASE}:${UNAME_VERSION}" in <A bunch of Case Statements> ppc:Linux:*:*) echo powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu exit ;; <More Case Statements.> However I do not see a case where the UNAME_MACHINE is set to powerpc, other than for the Machten. Is there something I did wrong when creating my cross-compiler? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Jeff Parent Computer Engineer
