Hi everyone,

I just started using crosstool-ng to try and build a newer toolchain for a PowerPC platform.   

The first question I have is if what I'm trying to do is at all possible.  I have a PowerPC platform that is running an older Linux kernel 2.4.18 for which I downloaded the tar.gz file.

I executed "ct-ng menubuild" and left all setting at default except for the target being changed to ppc and I pointed to the tarball for the kernel on my development machine.

Next, I executed "ct-ng build".  The build started but then it error'd out with the following messages on the console:

I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 as my build machine.  I saw another post on the mailing list which was similar to this but that person had a different problem which was that the version of make needed to be 3.81 instead of 3.82 as there is a bug in make 3.82.  This is not the case for me as my Ubuntu workstation has make 3.81.  Here is a link to that thread http://sourceware.org/ml/crossgcc/2011-01/msg00041.html.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The 2.4 series of Linux is not supported by crosstool-NG. It's a too old
version. Only starting around 2.6.18 (dpeending on the target architecture)
was Linux capable of exporting its headers.

My first suggestion would be to update your target kernel. 2.4.18 is really
old, by nowadays standards: it was released more than 10 years ago!

If you really can't update, then you *might* be able to get a toolchain for
your system anyway. Just select the oldest kernel available in crosstool-NG
and tell glibc that it should support back to linux-2.4.18:

    C-library  --->
      Minimum supported kernel version (Specific kernel version)  --->
        Specific kernel version
          (2.4.18) Minimum kernel version to support

But you may encounter some rough edges...

Also, crosstool-NG 1.9.3 is old, no longer maintained, and no longer
supported. Latest is 1.14.1. Please upgrade.

Yann E. MORIN.

Hi Yann, everyone,

Thanks for the information.  Unfortunately my build is still failing.

Here is what I did:

I upgraded to crosstool-ng version 1.14.1 per your suggestion.

I followed your suggestion for the C-library in setting the supported kernel version to 2.4.18.
I did this since I'm not able to update the kernel version :(.

I did set an additional item which was the CT_OLDEST_ABI, I set this to 2.2.3 and I don't know if 
This caused the build to fail.

Here is the section of the .config file that shows the changes I made:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# Common C library options
#
CT_THREADS_NPTL=y
CT_LIBC_XLDD=y
CT_LIBC_glibc_familly=y

CT_LIBC_GLIBC_EXTRA_CFLAGS=""
CT_LIBC_EXTRA_CC_ARGS=""
# CT_LIBC_DISABLE_VERSIONING is not set
CT_LIBC_OLDEST_ABI="2.2.3"
CT_LIBC_GLIBC_FORCE_UNWIND=y

CT_LIBC_ADDONS_LIST=""

Dominique, All,

Please, wrap lines at <80 chars, it's easier to read.
