Bug 184711 – sys-fs/dosfstools: does not support cross compiling

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 157785
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Thibault Hild 2007-07-09 10:45:13 UTC]

The make process is not autotools based and uses a makefile directly.
The makefile uses the gcc command as CC.
To make cross compiling work, I had to modify the Makefile this way:

--- Makefile.old        2007-07-08 06:59:03.000000000 +0200
+++ Makefile    2007-07-08 06:59:46.000000000 +0200
@@ -2,7 +2,7 @@
 # Makefile for dosfstools (mkdosfs and dosfsck)
 #
 
-CC = gcc
+CC := $(shell portageq envvar CHOST)-gcc
 CPP = $(CC) -E
 OPTFLAGS = -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
 WARNFLAGS = -Wall


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Use the "Gentoo Cross Development Guide" (http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/embedded/cross-development.xml)
When the cross-compile host is ready, do a:
xmerge dosfstools

During the compilation, you will see the host compiler used instead of the cross-compiler.
Actual Results:  
The dosfstools execs do not work on the target host.

Expected Results:  
The cross compiler should be used instead of the native gcc
