To build the cross-compiler you need binutils, gcc and glibc. I will assume you have built and installed binutils for your target and installed it in your path. I never had any problems with binutils. I installed with prefix=/usr/local/gcc. * Make sure $prefix/bin is in your path. (eg. export PATH=/usr/local/gcc/bin:$PATH) * Unpack gcc and glibc somewhere (eg. /usr/local/src). * Create some build directories (eg. /usr/local/build/gcc and /usr/local/build/glibc). * Go to the gcc build directory and configure (/usr/local/src/gcc/configure) using the --with-header=/usr/local/src/glibc/include (I'm guessing the path but it should be similar). Also only enable the C compiler at this stage. Use the --enable-languages=c then make the cross compiler using "make LANGUAGES=c". "make install" should install the glibc headers into $prefix/$target/include. * Now go to the glibc build directory and configure/build/install. The libraries should be put in $prefix/$target/lib. * Now go back to the gcc build directory any other componets your desire. eg. c++, fortran, java, objc. This is optional. You don't need the C++ compiler to build the linux kernel or most apps. Hope this helps a little. Brendan Simon. ------ Want more information?
