Bug 103290 – crossdev -t alpha-unknown-linux-gnu failes to emerge gcc

• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description miolinux 2005-08-21 15:48:11 UTC]

crossdev -t alpha-unknown-linux-gnu
emerge correctly binutils but when trying to emerge gcc fails because:

The directory that should contain system headers does not exist:
  /usr/alpha-unknown-linux-gnu/usr/include
make[1]: *** [stmp-fixinc] Error 1

but obviously headers can't be emerged without alpha-gcc:

make: alpha-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc: Command not found
  CC      scripts/mod/empty.o
/bin/sh: alpha-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc: command not found
make[2]: *** [scripts/mod/empty.o] Error 127


i tried also the howto method but got same problem :/


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. crossdev -t alpha-unknown-linux-gnu
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
it fails to build cross-alpha-unknown-linux-gnu/gcc

Expected Results:  
emerge binutils,gcc,linux-headers,glibc

if you were running an unstable system, it would prob work

[Comment 2 miolinux 2005-08-22 06:29:41 UTC]

can you tell me please wich version of binutils,gcc,linux-headers,glibc crossdev
emerged for you?

and maybe the version of your host binutils,gcc?

thx, i will try to build on some other computer and report.

[Comment 3 SpanKY 2005-08-23 05:57:54 UTC]

host amd64: binutils 2.16.1 / gcc 3.4.4 / glibc 2.3.5 / gcc-config 1.3.12-r2
target alpha: binutils 2.16.1 / gcc 3.4.4 / glibc 2.3.5

Hi, thx for the version, i resolved the problem. (Even if i don't know how)

Seems like that an emerge -av glib (host glibc) before launching crossdev
command solved the issue.

Really strange (since no use-flags or cflags where modified, just only
re-emerged the package).

thx
