Folks, I am trying to build a simple elf file parsing tool. Tool runs on a host, but wants to be able to parse core files from embedded architectures. host = x86 embedded = arm In order to parse the embedded core file, the tool needs to see and read the embedded kernel header files. I would guess a version of gdb that runs on a host and debugs a different target has similar issues. Are there any "best-practices" for configuring/building/using gcc in this manner? This isn't strictly a "cross-compilation" build of gcc. Cheers, T.mike
Hi -- I don't see why you believe that this has anything to do with building gcc. If your program which parses core files needs headers from the target kernel, you can reference them in your source. Rather than "#include <stdio.h>" which would get the host definitions, put "#include "<target>/usr/include/stdio.h"" in the source for your parser, where <target> is the path to a copy of the target's root directory tree. -- Michael Eager eager@xxxxxxxxxxxx 1960 Park Blvd., Palo Alto, CA 94306 650-325-8077
