Description Graham Dennis 2004-03-25 06:06:28 UTC 
The Makefile for the ucl_compress module of gcloop includes the following lines:
#dirty
$(obj)/libucl.a:
        cp /usr/lib/libucl.a $(obj)/
Which kinda fails for a cross-compiling situation when linking.

Details:
x86 box cross-compiling a generic ppc kernel.
Sources:
ppc-development-sources-2.6.1-r1

x86 gcc version: 3.3.2 20031218 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.2-r5, propolice-3.3-7)
cross-compiler gcc version: 3.2.3 20030422 (Gentoo Linux 1.4 3.2.3-r4, propolice)
cross-compiler produced with Gentoo crossdev-0.4-r1

I know the problem, I don't have the time to kernelify ucl enough, hopefully in september I'll try again. (the problem isn't in doing it, is in willing to do it since is time consuming and the multiple nested preprocessor magic powered ucl sources are making me running out screaming every time I tried to port them...)

I have no time and seems that there is no interest on gcloop at all
