Fix: Document cross-compilers properly. State-Changed-From-To: open->analyzed State-Changed-Why: Confirmed as a bug, marking priority "high" at request of Gerald. On the theory that a working build script is a good adjunct to the documentation, I am assembling a script that can build and test gcc/glibc/linux cross toolchains from scratch for all architectures supported by glibc. I am initially focusing on building from release tarballs in a nonunified tree. I am also documenting how to set up dejagnu to do remote testing of gcc/glibc. Eventually I may add gdb building/testing to the script. The script and documentation is online at http://kegel.com/crosstool while I work on it. http://kegel.com/crosstool has come a ways since I last posted. It's now quite easy to build and test crosscompilers. My script still doesn't run the glibc regression test, but at least it runs the gcc/g++/stdlibc++ tests. Anyone who's having trouble building or testing crosscompilers should have a look at that page. In fact, it'd be nice if http://gcc.gnu.org/install/ or a related page linked to http://kegel.com/crosstool.

Link says that documentation is out of date and to see http://crosstool-ng.github.io/ instead. |
