Searching for cross* on the whole file-system turns nothing up either, so I suppose I should just be thankful that the problem's gone away (pro tem, at least). I do notice though that I have a new file: /etc/portage/categories, which contains "cross-i686-pc-linux-gnu". (Well, it has a January date, so it isn't new - I just hadn't noticed it before.) And the only linux-headers I have are the standard kernel headers - nothing to do with cross-compiling. > For me, installing crossdev with -s1 helped, I don't know what you mean there. > I'm only compiling for an embedded system anyway so I don't need the > headers. Maybe just try again after an rsync? I run emerge --sync most days, so I wasn't incurring penalties by running an out-of-date system. Thanks for the help anyway. -- Rgds Peter

I'm not exactly sure how it happened any more but I suppose it has to do with a later version of linux-headers being stable for the platform you want to crosscompile for than for your native one.

For me, installing crossdev with -s1 helped, I'm only compiling for an embedded system anyway so I don't need the headers.

[gentoo-user] Crossdev won't go away
Hello, I'm still having a bit of bother with crossdev. If I emerge -upDvtN world I get this warning (omitting the N makes no difference): !!! The following installed packages are masked: - cross-i686-pc-linux-gnu/linux-headers-2.6.23-r3 (masked by: ~amd64 keyword) (This is a mostly amd64 system.) If I then add =cross-i686-pc-linux-gnu/linux-headers-2.6.23-r3 to package.keywords, the warning doesn't appear but no packages are selected for installation. I could just leave package.keywords like that, but it would be tidier to find out why the system thinks I need this package. equery d =cross-i686-pc-linux-gnu/linux-headers-2.6.23-r3 returns no result, and likewise equery d cross-i686-pc-linux-gnu/linux-headers. Perhaps I should just install crossdev, then remove it again. Has anyone a better suggestion? -- Rgds Peter
