Hi, I'm trying to build a MIPS compiler for building kernels. Although the linux-mips.org site specifies 3.4.2 I thought I'd try the latest stable release. While googling I've seen people that seem to be using it but I can't seem to get the correct configure magic for it. Currently it fails building libmudflap which seems a little premature as I'm guessing it needs a working cross compiler first: make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/alex/src/mips/gcc/gcc-bootstrap/gcc' Checking multilib configuration for libmudflap... mkdir -p -- mips-unknown-linux-gnu/libmudflap Configuring in mips-unknown-linux-gnu/libmudflap configure: creating cache ./config.cache checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu checking host system type... mips-unknown-linux-gnu ^^^ -- Should this not be my host system, i.e. x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu checking target system type... mips-unknown-linux-gnu checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking for mips-unknown-linux-gnu-strip... /home/alex/src/mips/toolchain/mips-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/strip checking for --enable-version-specific-runtime-libs... no checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no checking for mips-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc... /home/alex/src/mips/gcc/gcc-bootstrap/./gcc/xgcc -B/home/alex/src/mips/gcc/gcc-bootstrap/./gcc/ -B/home/alex/src/mips/toolchain/mips-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ -B/home/alex/src/mips/toolchain/mips-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/ -isystem /home/alex/src/mips/toolchain/mips-unknown-linux-gnu/include -isystem /home/alex/src/mips/toolchain/mips-unknown-linux-gnu/sys-include checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables See `config.log' for more details. make[1]: *** [configure-target-libmudflap] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/alex/src/mips/gcc/gcc-bootstrap' make: *** [all] Error 2 Also should libmudflap be needed for building kernels? My configure line is: export PREFIX=/home/alex/src/mips/toolchain export TARGET=mips-unknown-linux-gnu export HOST=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu ./gcc.4_2/configure --host=$HOST --target=$TARGET --prefix=$PREFIX --enable-languages=c --with-gnu-ld --with-gnu-as --without-headers --disable-shared --disable-threads I have already build a binutils and it's installed in my toolchain dir. I'm building from the GCC 4.2 SVN branch. Any pointers? -- Alex, homepage: http://www.bennee.com/~alex/ Whenever people agree with me I always feel I must be wrong. -- Oscar Wilde
