Description Daniel Glaser 2006-09-25 03:12:30 UTC

When emerging with $ROOT, the Linker still tries to link against the Build-System Libraries.

I don't know yet, how to work around this. In my case,

ROOT="/var/ppc-system" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/var/ppc-system" emerge bash

tries to use the libraries in my System ROOT an not the /var/ppc-system ROOT. This linkage will surely fail because they won't be compatible. In case of bash, it is the lcurses library.

I found nowhere an information how to tell the linker, to use the ROOT, gcc semms to behave right.

bashrc for cross compiling bash

This is what I've used in /etc/portage/bashrc to cross compile bash.  It's not portage's job to support this type of cross-compiling logic.  It belongs in the ebuild and/or eclasses.

Of course, the bashrc would go under PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT...

Thanks, this was the point for most of the packages I think. Hope there are not so much other things that need fixing ;-)
