i'm sure there's something trivial i'm overlooking, but i'm still trying
to figure out how to cross-compile a source RPM for a powerpc.
as it stands, i have a PPC-based toolchain installed, the appropriate
tools are on the search path and, based on some earlier advice, i added
the following to my personal .rpmmacros:
%__ar %{_cross_compile}ar
%__as %{_cross_compile}as
%__cc %{_cross_compile}gcc
%__cpp %{_cross_compile}gcc -E
%__cxx %{_cross_compile}g++
%__ld %{_cross_compile}ld
%__nm %{_cross_compile}nm
%__objcopy %{_cross_compile}objcopy
%__objdump %{_cross_compile}objdump
%__ranlib %{_cross_compile}ranlib
%__remsh %{__rsh}
%__strip %{_cross_compile}strip
%__size %{_cross_compile}size
now, to cross-compile from the spec file, allegedly, i should be able
to type:
$ rpmbuild --rebuild --define="_cross_compile ppc_8xx-" ...
yet, the output from the rpmbuild shows that just the regular host "gcc"
command is being called, although "rpmbuild --showrc" seems to suggest
that my personal settings are being recognized:
-14: __cc %{_cross_compile}gcc
...
thoughts? it's hard to believe that just cross-compiling a source rpm
should be this tricky when i have a perfectly good toolchain just sitting
there. :-)
