Re: Cross Compiler and Linker for Linux

[Dave Jarvis <dave at joot dot com>]

Hi,

21 compiles later, I'm certain I'm missing one small detail.  Using 
Joel's suggestions (from the previous e-mail), I changed my directories 
and configuration options accordingly.  Deleted all directories, 
reconfigured, and reinstalled as follows.

1) mkdir /usr/local/cc/sparc-solaris
2) Copy /usr/lib from TARGET machine to HOST machine at:
         /usr/local/cc/sparc-solaris/sparc-solaris
3) Copy /usr/include from TARGET machine to HOST machine at:
         /usr/local/cc/sparc-solaris/sys-include

Thus "prefix" is "/usr/local/cc/sparc-solaris".  I reset the PATH to 
normal.  Even though the binaries were toasted, I didn't want to taint 
the install.

1) cd build-binutils
2) ../binutils-2.13.2.1/configure --prefix=/usr/local/cc/sparc-solaris \
  --target=sparc-solaris --with-libs=../sparc-solaris/sparc-solaris \
  --with-headers=../sparc-solaris/sys-include
3) make && make install

Worked like a charm, just as in the previous 16 compiles.

4) cd ../build-gcc
5) export PATH=/usr/local/cc/sparc-solaris/bin:$PATH
6) ../gcc-3.3/configure --prefix=/usr/local/cc/sparc-solaris \
  --target=sparc-solaris --with-libs=../sparc-solaris/sparc-solaris \
  --with-headers=../sparc-solaris/sys-include --with-gnu-as \
  --with-gnu-ld
7) make && make install

This fails with the same error as before: unable to find the header 
files for tanhf and other assorted floating-point functions.  (I'm 
presuming it won't be able to link with them, either.)

Ideas, hints, tips, solutions, and bonks on my head are most welcome.

Thanks!
Dave
