Crosstool Build Still Fails under Cygwin

Hi Jeremy,
About your said "Also, if it is possible to get it working, is
there a way to resume from the point where the build failed? Since it
took 10 hours to get there..."
several tricks to save time when build crosstool-ng:
in ct-ng menuconfig, to config like this:
1.use multiple thread compile
Paths and misc options
(4) Number of parallel jobs
4 means 4 threads to compile crosstool-ng
about thread number:
"A good rule of thumb is twice the number of processors you have."
here my cpu is Intel two core, so use 4.
2.resume from fail step
Paths and misc options
[*] Debug crosstool-NG
[*] Save intermediate steps
how to restore fail step, then continue build:
basic logic is:
ct-ng last_successful_step+
detail is :
(1) see existing steps
CLi@PC-CLI-1 ~/develop/crosstool-ng/crosstool-ng-1.18.0_build
$ ct-ng list-steps
Available build steps, in order:
- libc_check_config
- companion_libs_for_build
- binutils_for_build
- companion_libs_for_host
- binutils_for_host
- cc_core_pass_1
- kernel_headers
- libc_start_files
- cc_core_pass_2
- libc
- cc_for_build
- cc_for_host
- libelf_for_target
- binutils_for_target
- debug
- test_suite
- finish
Use "<step>" as action to execute only that step.
Use "+<step>" as action to execute up to that step.
Use "<step>+" as action to execute from that step onward.
(2) when fail, let's say, on step cc_core_pass_1
so last successful step is: binutils_for_host
so, after you fix problem, then do:
ct-ng binutils_for_host+
so can restore binutils_for_host, then continue compile
3.use interactive shell when fail -> when error, can fix error then
continue build
Paths and misc options
[*] Debug crosstool-NG
[*] Interactive shell on failed commands
then:
when build fail, will show a interactive shell, like this:
......
[ERROR] >> Error happened in: CT_DoExecLog[scripts/functions@257]
[ERROR] >> called from:
do_kernel_install[scripts/build/kernel/linux.sh@112]
[ERROR] >> called from:
do_kernel_headers[scripts/build/kernel/linux.sh@91]
[ERROR] >> called from: main[scripts/crosstool-NG.sh@632]
Current command:
'make' '-C'
'/home/crifan/develop/crosstool-ng/crosstool-ng-1.18.0_build/.build/src/linux-custom'
'O=/home/crifan/develop/crosstool-ng/crosstool-ng-1.18.0_build/.build/arm-xscale-linux-gnueabi/build/build-kernel-headers'
'ARCH=arm'
'INSTALL_HDR_PATH=/home/crifan/develop/crosstool-ng/x-tools/arm-xscale-linux-gnueabi/arm-xscale-linux-gnueabi/sysroot/usr'
'V=0' 'headers_install'
exited with error code: 2
Please fix it up and finish by exiting the shell with one of these values:
1 fixed, continue with next build command
2 repeat this build command
3 abort build
ct-ng:~/develop/crosstool-ng/crosstool-ng-1.18.0_build>
then, after you fix error,
let's say, vi to edit the xxx.c to fix some bug,
then do:
exit 2
to re-run the last fail command, to continue compile your xxx.c
then can go through, can continue build.
more detailed explain can refer my tutorial:
(note: written in Chinese, you can use google translate to english if
necessary)
