I am trying to cross-compile Qt/E and Konqueror embedded for my target
platform, an ARM9 based SBC.
I am having a cross-tool problem and I hope that someone can help me out....
By way of background, my old development system was based on Debian
sarge, and everything worked fine. I could build both packages with no
problems.
However, I had to move and my new development system is based on Debian
etch.
I moved my old crosstool-0.42 toolchain and tried to rebuild the
konqueror; the build failed ultimately with
../../konq-embed/add-ons/kflashpart/.libs/libkflash_e.a(kflashpart.o):
In function `global constructors keyed to _ZNK13KFlashFactory9classNameEv':

From googling about, this has something to do with visibility. I am
not that experienced with c++ projects, and frankly I am floundering a
bit. Visiblity is disabled (or not patched in) in Dan Kegel's
crosstools if understand everything correctly.
I figured that perhaps this was a toolchain issue, so I rebuilt the
toolchain on the etch box, first using gcc 4.0.1, and then with
gcc-3.4. Both time the konqueror build failed in the same way.
I am pretty sure that system include files are not being used, and that
only the toolchain include files are being used.
Google said that maybe it's a binutils issue; so I rebuilt the toolchain
once again, using binutils 2.15; no joy.
For various reasons I am limited to gcc-3.4.4 and glibc 2.3.2 in the
toolchain.
Could someone please provide some guidance, help, or even encouragement?
What is frustrating is that this is coming at the end of a year-long
development effort and I am packaging up the final filesystem. All the
software is built and ready to go, but the key piece of software will
not build.
(Moving was not my idea; it was decided that my development box be
converted to windows XP to run some other critical software and that I
use another, nearly identical box without a fancy video card for
development. In hindsight this was an error, but now I have to fix
it.... :-( )
