armv4 build

[Gregg Lebovitz]

I am new to this list.

I have an embedian boad with a Samsung S3C2440 32-bit ARM920T Core using 
an ARMv4 instruction set. Has anyone build fedora-core-10 for this 
processor? Is this a reasonable thing to do?

I don't see instructions anywhere on how to do the build myself. I have 
downloaded all the source rpms, but down know how to get the build 
started. Any help will be appreciated. I scanned the mail list archive 
and didn't seem to find anything on how to get started.

Hi,

To do the build, you could setup a QEMU to emulate your ARM board. It
will be faster than trying to compile on your 920T (it is something
like 64 Mb and 400 Mhz, i suppose). If i remenber correctly, it is an
armv4t (Thumb instruction set)

Once you have you QEMU up and runnig, install development tools (gcc,
rpmbuild, ... ) and rebuild your packages with following command :

rpmbuild --target armv4tl --rebuild name.src.rpm

i hope this help.

Frank,

Thanks. That sounds like a good idea, but I still need an arm compiler.

I was hoping to cross compile on my x86 system.

Re : Re : armv4 build

in fact, you have an arm compiler.

On Fedora/Arm page, you'll find everything to setup an ARM/Fedora
under QEMU ; look at pre-built Root FileSystem (or RFS).
So, you can boot you virtual ARM machine, setup a build environment
(yum install ... ) and compile your packages.
Fedora provides you all packages to build a more or less complete ARM-distro.

Cross-compiling isn't always a good idea, because you can't run
self-tests (some packages do that to confirm everything is ok) at the
end of building process.

Frank,

Thanks. I will try your approach. The cross compiling isn't working :-)
