Bug 44889 – crossdev 0.4-r1 bug

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Evert 2004-03-16 13:14:43 UTC]

The most basic form of crossdev does not work. It seems the most basic form of the command is untested. The reason is CROSS_KEYW_TMP keeps uninitialized. I will attach a patch which fixes this.

After this patch is applied the next command builds a full toolchain for alpha:
crossdev.sh --arch=alpha --vgcc=3.3.2-r2
However, when omitting the --vgcc option, gcc-3.3.2-r5 will be used which fails to bootstrap:
make[2]: *** [libgcc/./unwind-dw2.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
make[2]: Leaving directory `/big/portage_tmp/portage/crossdevbuild/gcc-3.3.2/buildboothere-alpha/gcc'
make[1]: *** [libgcc.a] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/big/portage_tmp/portage/crossdevbuild/gcc-3.3.2/buildboothere-alpha/gcc'
make: *** [all-gcc] Error 2
 
 * InstallGccBootstrap(): Failed to compile!


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge crossdev
2. rm -rf $(portageq envvar PORTAGE_TMPDIR)/portage/*
3. rm -rf /home/crossdev/alpha
4. crossdev.sh --arch=alpha --pretend

Actual Results:  
 * No valid binutils packages were found.  If you're using unstable packages,
then this means
   that no binutils packages were found with unstable keywords.  Mark a package
as unstable, or use
   stable packages.


Expected Results:  
 * >>>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * >>> i686-pc-linux-gnu -> alpha-unknown-linux-gnu cross-compile toolchain
complete!
 
 * >>> Toolchain was installed in /home/crossdev/alpha
 * >>> To make use of the newly installed toolchain, append
/home/crossdev/alpha/bin to the end of your $PATH.
 * >>>
