Hi, I try to build a cross-compiler for mips-linux for mips target (idt32332). I followed the instruction of Bradley D. LaRonde (thanks) http://www.ltc.com/~brad/mips/mips-cross-toolchain/ I downloaded : binutils-2.13 gcc-2.95.3 glibc-2.2.5 and glibc-linuxthreads-2.2.5 and my build system is gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-98) and gmake 3.79.1. As I compiled and install binutils-2.13 and gcc-2.95.3 (1th time), everything is fine. However, as I configured glibc-2-2.5 following the instruction: tar -xzf glibc-2.2.5.tar.gz cd glibc-2.2.5 patch -i ../glibc-2.2.5-mips-build-gmon.diff tar -xzf ../glibc-linuxthreads-2.2.5.tar.gz cd .. mkdir mips-glibc-2.2.5-1-3 cd mips-glibc-2.2.5-1-3 CFLAGS="-O2 -g -finline-limit=10000" ../glibc-2.2.5/configure --build=i686-linux \ --host=mips-linux --enable-add-ons --prefix=/usr I got error as following: ////// error output ////// loading cache ./config.cache checking host system type... mips-mips-linux-gnu checking sysdep dirs... sysdeps/mips/elf linuxthreads/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux linuxthreads/sysdeps/pthread sysdeps/pthread linuxthreads/sysdeps/unix/sysv linuxthreads/sysdeps/unix linuxthreads/sysdeps/mips sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux sysdeps/gnu sysdeps/unix/common sysdeps/unix/mman sysdeps/unix/inet sysdeps/unix/sysv sysdeps/unix/mips sysdeps/unix sysdeps/posix sysdeps/mips/fpu sysdeps/mips sysdeps/wordsize-32 sysdeps/ieee754/flt-32 sysdeps/ieee754/dbl-64 sysdeps/ieee754 sysdeps/generic/elf sysdeps/generic checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether ln -s works... yes checking for pwd... /bin/pwd checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking for mips-linux-gcc... no checking for mips-linux-cc... no checking for gnumake... no checking for gmake... gmake checking version of gmake... 3.79.1, ok *** These critical programs are missing or too old:gcc *** Check the INSTALL file for required versions. [root@dpr211 mips-glibc-2.2.5-1-3]# //// end of error output ///// As i compiled and install cross-compiler, I use the option --prfix=/usr/xmips-1-3, that means I will install the cross-compiler in the directory /usr/xmips-1-3. And I also check tools and mips-linux-gcc are on my cross-compiler directory /usr/xmips-1-3/bin. My question is why I got the message: checking for mips-linux-gcc... no checking for mips-linux-cc... no And how can I set up path such that this configure can find them. Another question is the configure error. I check the INSTALL to make sure the gcc version. It requires gcc 2.95 or newer. I check my host gcc is 2.96 and cross-compiler gcc is 2.95.3. Why do I get the configure error: *** These critical programs are missing or too old:gcc *** Check the INSTALL file for required versions. Any solution to fix it. Thanks. Chien-Lung
