Hi all I am trying to build an arm-linux-gcc or arm-elf-gcc cross compiler on red hat 9 using gcc version 3 [and above] as i need the graph coloring register allocator. I tried different cross compilation techniques but nothing worked ..here are some of them 1. "How to configure, build, and install GCC as a cross-compiler" from the cross gcc FAQ http://www.objsw.com/CrossGCC/FAQ-4.html i got the following error message: /home/kripa/arm-linux/exes//arm-linux/bin/ld: cannot open crti.o: No such file or directory collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [libgcc_s.so] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/kripa/arm-linux/build-gcc/gcc' make[1]: *** [libgcc.a] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/kripa/arm-linux/build-gcc/gcc' make: *** [all-gcc] Error 2 2.Building a gcc-3.3.2 ARM cross-compiler for GP32 http://www.6809.org.uk/gp32/build-cross-compiler.shtml arm-elf-gcc was successfully built..but i got the following error message when i compiled a program using it. ./arm-elf-gcc-3.3.2 first.c ./../lib/gcc-lib/arm-elf/3.3.2/../../../../arm-elf/bin/ld: ERROR: /tmp/cc9EZqhH.o uses hardware FP, whereas a.out uses software FP ./../lib/gcc-lib/arm-elf/3.3.2/../../../../arm-elf/bin/ld: Warning: /tmp/cc9EZqhH.o does not support interworking, whereas a.out does File format not recognized: failed to merge target specific data of file /tmp/cc9EZqhH.o ./../lib/gcc-lib/arm-elf/3.3.2/../../../../arm-elf/bin/ld: ERROR: ./../lib/gcc-lib/arm-elf/3.3.2/crtend.o uses hardware FP, whereas a.out uses software FP ./../lib/gcc-lib/arm-elf/3.3.2/../../../../arm-elf/bin/ld: Warning: ./../lib/gcc-lib/arm-elf/3.3.2/crtend.o does not support interworking, whereas a.out doesFile format not recognized: failed to merge target specific data of file ./../lib/gcc-lib/arm-elf/3.3.2/crtend.o ./../lib/gcc-lib/arm-elf/3.3.2/../../../../arm-elf/bin/ld: ERROR: ./../lib/gcc-lib/arm-elf/3.3.2/crtn.o uses hardware FP, whereas a.out uses software FP ./../lib/gcc-lib/arm-elf/3.3.2/../../../../arm-elf/bin/ld: Warning: ./../lib/gcc-lib/arm-elf/3.3.2/crtn.o does not support interworking, whereas a.out does File format not recognized: failed to merge target specific data of file ./../lib/gcc-lib/arm-elf/3.3.2/crtn.o collect2: ld returned 1 exit status 3. next i used the same technique mentioned in the link "Building a gcc-3.3.2 ARM cross-compiler for GP32 http://www.6809.org.uk/gp32/build-cross-compiler.shtml"; but i didnt change the gcc3.3.2/gcc/Makefile.in and the newlib-1.12.0/Makefile.in.. arm-elf-gcc was successfully built..but i got the following error message when i compiled a program using it. ./arm-elf-gcc-3.3.2 first.c ./../lib/gcc-lib/arm-elf/3.3.2/../../../../arm-elf/bin/ld: cannot open crt0.o: No such file or directory collect2: ld returned 1 exit status 4. Then i tried Dan kegel's crosstool tarball http://kegel.com/crosstool/crosstool-0.27.tar.gz but that too gave me errors.. my project involves adding some minor tweaks to the existing graph coloring register allocator in gcc.. so i need to recompile gcc after every updates. I request the gcc fraternity to kindly help me in building an arm-linux-gcc or arm-elf-gcc cross compiler which can be recompiled as and when needed. regards kripashankar __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
