[CT-NG] Static linking impossible on the host system 'x86_64-build_apple-darwin11.2.0'

[Josh Kugelmann]

Hi all,
I'm building a cross toolchain for the RS Media using crosstool-NG 1.13.2 on Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion). I followed the instructions under "Using crosstool-NG on MacOS-X" (docs/C - Misc. tutorials.txt), however when I try to build the toolchain I get the following error:

[INFO ]  Performing some trivial sanity checks
[INFO ]  Build started 20120106.145119
[INFO ]  Building environment variables
[ERROR]  Static linking impossible on the host system 'x86_64-build_apple-darwin11.2.0'

Is there a way to get around this?

Josh,

in the menuconfig you should not select
"Build Static Toolchain (EXPERIMENTAL)" in the "Toolchain Options" menu.
This should make sure that CT_WANTS_STATIC_LINK=y is *not* used in your .config
which is what you want on OSX.

Regards
Titus

Ah, that works. I had to manually set it in .config though, since selecting that option through menuconfig didn't work for some reason (It remained deselected after pressing Y).

Please disregard the issue mentioned in the last email, I had pressed Z to show experimental instead of enabling the "Try features marked as EXPERIMENTAL" option.

CT_WANTS_STATIC link seems to always be set to Y regardless of whether "Build Static Toolchain (EXPERIMENTAL) is enabled or not (And it's enabled by default).

Setting that option does toggle CT_STATIC_TOOLCHAIN, however.
