My noticable absence in the discussion is merely an indication of my ignorance on this issue. But I really appreciate all the messages I got. Over the past weekend and yesterday, I started to collect, compile and package the toolchains. Here is the first report. I finally settled down with the old but deemed reliable versions : a) binutils v2.8.1 + mips patch ftp://sourceware.cygnus.com/pub/binutils/releases/ ftp://oss.sgi.com/pub/linux/mips/binutils/binutils-2.8.1-3.diff.gz b) egcs 1.0.3a + mips patch ftp://ftp.mvista.com/pub/Area51/mips_le/misc/egcs-1.0.3a.tar.gz ftp://oss.sgi.com/pub/linux/mips/egcs/egcs-1.0.3a-2.diff.gz (Ralf, you cannot find egcs-1.0.3a.tar.gz release on the net anymore. You probably want to save this file on the same site with the diff file.) c) glibc 2.0.6 + mips patch ftp://oss.sgi.com/pub/linux/mips/glibc/srpms/glibc-2.0.6-5lm.src.rpm I also had success with latest binutils CVS tree. I gave a try to the latest gcc, but did not look into it further. http://sourceware.cygnus.com/binutils cvs -z 9 -d :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.cygnus.com:/cvs/src co -D "Oct 13, 2000" binutils ----------- With the above tools, I hooked up with MontaVista's build machine and generated a few dozens of userland packages. You can find the RPMS and SRPMS of the toolchain and applications on the following ftp site. Inside these packages you will find a lot of "MontaVista-ism". (yeah, what a surprise!) ftp://ftp.mvista.com/pub/Area51/mips_le/ If you have NEC DDB5476 board, you can also try out my kernel on the following place. This kernel supports nfs rootfs through on-board ether port, IDE disk, PS/2 keyboard/mouse, Voodoo3 2000/3000 PCI graphic cards (framebuffer driver). ftp://ftp.mvista.com/pub/Area51/ddb-5476/ For your viewing pleasure, I also include a sleek microwindow demo, which is tested working on DDB5476 board with voodoo3 cards, ps/2 keyboard/mouse. I have not rpm-lized it yet. You can find the binaries on the following place: ftp://ftp.mvista.com/pub/Area51/mips_le/microwindows Please note all these packages are my own experimental stuff. Please do not call MontaVista's support engineers about bugs or problems. I will continue to do some more trials on MIPS toolchains, and post my results. Thanks again to everyone who replied. Jun P.S., The ftp uploading is still running. It should be completed in one hour.
