I have inherited a gcc 2.95.3 cross development tool chain, which has been working fine to build for my powerpc-linux target machine. I'm building the kernel and user programs fine. I'm beginning to find as I add things in that I'm missing libraries. Today its libresolv which I need for pump. Some questions: 1. Do I really need to go back and build my own tool chain? I've tried grabbing 2.95.3 sources and building by running configure with --target=powerpc-linux, but I get some missing include file errors building libgcc2.a. I'm on a 405GP (no fp). Should I even bother doing this? 2. On my intel development machine I see that libresolv.a comes from glibc-devel-2.2.5-34. I have gcc-2.96-110 for my compiler. Should I go find a version of glibc-devel that matches up with my existing 2.95.3 tools? How will I know if its the right version? 3. Better yet, is there somewhere I can just obtain a reasonable tool chain that's ready-built for my target machine? Complete with libraries? Sorry for the newbie type questions. I have the "Using and Porting GNU CC" book, but am finding it a little too Stallman-esque to follow. Anyone? Thanks! Chris Johnson ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
