I have succesfully built XFree86 for various linux
target platforms (intel and power pc) but I am
now trying to build XFree86 for a LynxOS (3.1.0) powerpc platform. I have tried
to build a native XFree86 on a Motorola MVME2604 701 ppc with 32M of ram but
seem to have problems in linking certain "large" objects - there seems ot be a
limit of 16M which causes failure (note I have tried this with a lot of
virtual memory, e.g. 128M, 1G etc..) and I guess is specific to the ppc or
Lynxos kernel but cannot seems to find any mention of such a limitation
anywhere. I therefore resorted to cross-compiling off a sun host and I am having
problems, specifically:-
1) ensuring the correct compiler is being used at
the approriate time in the build of XFree86 (e.g. in generating the makefile for
the host and object files for the target)
2) using the correct .def configuration files for
the host/target at the at the approriate time in the build of
XFree86.
Has XFree86 been build in any similar
cross-development evironment? and can anyone shed light onto the why the
MVME2064 host build of Xfree86 with Lynxos 3.1.0 suffers from an apparent
16M limit?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
