Building ELDK 3.0/3.1 from SRPMS

[John W <jmwoo2@yahoo.com>]

Hello-

I having trouble rebuilding ELDK 3.0 & ELDK 3.1 from
the source RPMS.  I have spent a great deal of time on
this, and I have a feeling that maybe I’m just not
doing something correctly (setting up the build
environment, retrieving source/specs from CVS..
etc..).  My build machine is Red Hat 9.0 without any
updates (Kernel 2.4.20-8, the Shrike release).

The following is the process I’m using to setup my
development environment for ELDK 3.0

#Make build directory
mkdir /opt/eldkv3.0

#checkout tarballs & build.  One caveat is that I’m
behind a proxy server, and I’m having to check these
files out on remote computer, and tar -czvf the
directories up, and copying the files to the build
computer. I would imagine that this is functionally
equivalent.

cd /opt/eldkv3.0
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@www.denx.de:/cvsroot login
cvs -z6 -d :pserver:anonymous@www.denx.de:/cvsroot co
-rELDK_3_0 -P eldk_tarballs
cvs -z6 -d :pserver:anonymous@www.denx.de:/cvsroot co
-rELDK_3_0 -P eldk_build

#get yellowdog 3.0 prestine SRPMS
cd /opt/eldkv3.0
mkdir SRPMS
cd /opt/eldkv3.0/SRPMS
wget -r -nd -np -l1 -A ‘*.rpm’
http://ydl.osuosl.org/releases/yellowdog-3.0/en/os/SRPMS/
wget -r -nd -np -l1 -A ‘*.rpm’
http://ydl.osuosl.org/updates/yellowdog-3.0/SRPMS/

#export the prefix & target architecture
export ELDK_PREFIX=/opt/eldkv3.0
export TARGET_CPU_FAMILY_LIST=”4xx”

#execute build process
cd /opt/eldkv3.0/build
./ELDK_BUILD

Executing ELDK_BUILD seems to build almost everything,
but there seems to be a lot of packages missing,
namely libstdc++.so.  When checking the logs, I see
something suspicious while build the make RPM in that
it shows the following failure:
/opt/eldkv3.0/build/ppc-2006-10-27/logs/build_make.log:

RPM build errors:
    Bad exit status from
/opt/eldkv3.0/build/ppc-2006-10-27/work/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.54649
(%build)

I’m not exactly sure that by fixing this problem will
install libstdc++ correctly, infact, I’m not exactly
sure why ELDK is not completely building everything. 
In trying to remedy this problem, I have upgraded my
system to use autoconf 2.60, automake 1.9 and m4
1.4.7, but none of those seems to help.  The only
other thing I can think of is upgrading my version of
bison.

I have also tried the same type of method to build
ELDK 3.1 from SRPMS, and have received the same error
from the build_make.log file.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
