    * I have down loaded the latest prebuilt cross-compiler  and untared it 
the a directory by name DEST
    * I have downloaded the Latest linux  and palo files from the cvs. the 
after uncompresing them I run the following command from the ~/linux directory
    * Changed the line in Palo/Makefile  for my system IP Address
    * exported PATH=$DEST/bin:$PATH
    * the cd ~/linux
    * make oldconfig
    * make dep
    * make clean
    * make palo
If so the I am getting the following error after running make palo
cd palo && make

make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/cvs/palo/palo'

For that tarball, you need to untar in / which will put the compiler tree in 
/opt/palinux. If it's not there the compiler will not be able to find it's 
resources. Is that what you did?

I will update the web page to make this more clear.

you need to go to /palo/ipl and do  "hppa-linux-ranlib ipl.a". Then go back 
to /linux and do a "make palo" again.

This is a common problem, in which I also run every time if /palo changes. 
Matt/Paul: can't we fix this in the Makefile ?

Helge.

I changed ipl/Makefile to use hppa-linux-ar rather than ar.  No
ranlib is required in this case.

Prior to this the native host's ar was being used.  Mine 
(GNU ar 2.9.5) has always
worked without need of an extra ranlib step but I guess that's not
true for everyone.  People using 'ar' which requires a following ranlib
should probably insert a ranlib line into palo/palo/Makefile after
the 'ar' there.  Just how likely is it to find this type of ar on
Linux these days?
