Cross build applications

Cross build applications

[Carsten Langgaard]

I'm trying to cross build a small test program on a linux PC, but it
fails.

mips-linux-gcc -o test test.c
/usr/mips-linux/bin/ld: cannot open crt1.o: No such file or directory

Yep - you need to obtain a copy of this - just copy it out of Linux/mips
installation and put it in one of the lib directories under your
/usr/mips-linux.

(That let me get "hello world" crossing from Linux/Alpha last week)

 The file is supposed to come with glibc.  Do you have glibc for
mips-linux installed?

No, where can I get it.

 If you want glibc 2.2.1, you may get a source RPM package I made
available at 'ftp://ftp.ds2.pg.gda.pl/pub/macro/'.  I make mipsel-linux
builds only, so for cross-compilation you would get a mipsel-linux-glibc
package, modify the few defines at the top (and possibly the spec file
name) and build a mips-linux-glibc binary package.  Or build it in the
traditional way.  Note the few patches I include are not MIPS-specific, so
you do not really need them unless you want them. 

 If you want a glibc 2.0 package or a binary one, then I cannot help you. 
Check the usual resources -- oss.sgi.com and ftp.rfc822.org.  Others may
provide different pointers as well.

Please, can anyone provide me with the right set of RPMs, so I can cross
compile a "hello-world" program on a linux PC ?

Go to ftp://ftp.mvista.com/pub/Area51/mips_fp_le/, and look for the following
packages for i386 host:

. binutils
. kernel-headers
. gcc 
. glibc

Install them and you are ready to go!

There are also big endian packages available.
