To ease deployment of this toolchain I would like to create a RPM containing the whole toolchain files/directories. Question: How to create a RPM of the whole toolchain? Is it possible to break down the whole toolchain RPM into several RPMs, having one RPM for each component of the toolchain (e.g. gcc.rpm, binutils.rpm, glibc-devel.rpm, ...). FYI rpmbuild works from a SPEC file (not from already-made binary files) and then runs the full build using this file.

I don't speak RPM myself, sorry. When I have to deploy a toolchain to different machines, I: - either build the toolchain on every machines, - or make a tarball of the toolchain The first option is valid if you have many different systems, while the second applies if all the machines are similar enough. Note that, the toolchain is fully relocatable, so the tarball can be extracted on the developpers machine where they see fit, although having a common setup across the whole development team is a sign that there is a process inplace, while leaving all the developpers free to do as they want is a bit of an anarchy. > Is it possible to break down the whole toolchain RPM into several RPMs, > having one RPM for each component of the toolchain (e.g. gcc.rpm, > binutils.rpm, glibc-devel.rpm, ...). There is no provision for doing that right now, and I don't see it changing in a near future, if at all. The toolchain is intended to be a single entity that is not splitable. What one might envision is the toolchain part ( kernel headers + binutils + libc + gcc ) being bundled separately from the tools (gdb / dmalloc / ... ), and the tools being clearly separated one from the others. There is no reason to split the toolchain part into its different components as it is really a single thing. For example, a desktop Linux distro will split the libc runtime from the libc [headers + static libs] part because it makes sense, but a cross toolchain (IMNSHO) does not follow this principles. > FYI rpmbuild works from a SPEC file (not from already-made binary files) and > then runs the full build using this file. You could trick rpmbuild into considering the generated toolchain to be source files, and provide a kind of 'build+install' procedure that just copies the toolchain files so rpmbuild can create it. Or you could provide a 'buid+install' procedure that uses crosstool-NG sources as the source for building the toolchain, and have rpmbuild bundle the resulting toolchain. Just a bit convoluted, but completed justifiable in this case. Regards, Yann E. MORIN. -- .-----------------.--------------------.------------------.--------------------. | Yann E.

FWIW, this is the approach I used some time ago to create Debian packages for cross-compiling toolchains. Not the cleanest thing, but it does the work.

I have created RPMs for Fedora. You can find the .spec files on: http://fedorapeople.org/~oron/crosstool-ng/ * The crosstool-ng.spec is used to package crosstool-ng itself. * The toolchain-powerpc-e500v2-linux-gnuspe.spec is than used to build+package a specific toolchain I needed. It BuildRequire the crosstool-ng package, so it has to be installed first. I opened a review request to include crosstool-ng package in the standard Fedora distribution, but no reviewer showed up yet ;-( Any Fedorans here? Please review: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=532163 I also built packages for Debian (which is what we actually use as our standard development host). If there's any Debian developer on-board I will be happy to send the packages (the debian/ directories) of crosstool-ng and toolchain-powerpc-e500v2-linux-gnuspe.

I was supposed to package crosstool-NG for Debian, after we discussed the matter with Hector Oron at FOSDEM. Unfortunately, I've been pretty busy, and I never made a single package for Debian (or any other distro for that matter), so I would gladly accept your debian/ directory for crosstool-NG.

The question is whether to split the RPM into several RPMs or not? I guess there is no good and bad answer. However splitting RPMs could be dangerous: your toolchain may break if you update one subcomponent and keep the older subcomponents (libraries interact with each other). What do you think? Do you usually update few components or all of them? I will probably go with one RPM to be on the safer side.
