The problem is that spu-gcc needs spu-newlib during build, whereas spu-newlib needs spu-gcc during its build. The two ways of solving this are (a) do a build on a unified source tree for gcc and newlib, xor (b) provide some bootstrap gcc compiler to build newlib, which can then be used to build spu-gcc. After some investigation we found that (a) is quite brittle. None of the configurations of gcc+newlib (that we tried) build in a unified tree. Therefore we have opted for (b). A simple spu-gcc-bootstrap is available here: http://foss.it.brighton.ac.uk/~balor/rpm/spu-gcc/r1/spu-gcc-bootstrap.spec and a spu-gcc which conflicts with spu-gcc-bootstrap is available here: http://foss.it.brighton.ac.uk/~balor/rpm/spu-gcc/r1/spu-gcc.spec -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
