Regenerating the cross stuff - arm - Fedora mailing-lists

31 Jul 2010


      Hi -
I'm interested in regenerating the cross compiler packages, first just 
as it, then maybe uplevelling it and eventually to use the same 
technique to get a set of packages for MIPS cross compile.
I found some SRPM goodies here:
http://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/arm/fedora/cross/latest/source/
I thought I would try first to recook
gcc-4.1.2-33.fa1.cross5.src.rpm
without changes as a sanity check using this rawhide x86_64 laptop. 
First it wanted firefox-devel that doesn't exist any more, but I did the 
rebuild with --nodeps (all other deps are there) and build_java=0 to get 
around that for now.
The build chokes out with:

Well, quite possibly I am missing the point badly, for example I don't 
know why there are three SRPMs for everything in that dir.
If anyone has any tips or knowledge to share I would love to be able to 
uplevel and use this stuff with MIPS.
