Using crossdev, can't emerge GCC

Hello all,

From reading other posts it sounds like others have gotten crossdev to work, however when I try:

Code: Select all

sudo crossdev --target armv6j-hardfloat-linux-gnuabi

Everything is working up until the point of

Code: Select all

Emerging cross-gcc-stage1

When I check the build log, the error is

Code: Select all

cannot compute suffix of object files

It seems that this can be caused by a lot of issues, anyone run into this error? Thanks!

Hmm, it seems if I specify gcc-4.4.6-r1 it works just fine. Out of curiosity, for others who use crossdev what versions of the toolchain do you use? Thanks

On my distcc machine, that is helping RaspberryPi with compiling packages I have: cross-armv6zk-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi/gcc-4.5.3-r2::x-portage . Works fine.

I have the same problem regardless of using armv6zk or armv6j where the gcc compile fails. I've opened a bug report.

@coRpTitan or anyone: I don't suppose you could share more detail about your distcc machine? What is the CHOST and CFLAGS used? We know the gcc version, but how about the crossdev version, binutils, kernel, and libc?

It seems putting this together can be tricky so if anyone has a good recipe please share!

crossdev -S -t cross-armv6zk-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi worked! I was missing a few things. I needed to run "emerge mpfr mpc gmp" and then env-update.

Crossdev version is 20120305
Binutils: binutils-2.21.1-r1
headers: gentoo-headers-3.1-2
gcc: gcc-4.5.3-r2
libc: glibc-2.14.1-r3

I would think crossdev would want to pull in mpfr mpc and gmp in as dependancies? Guess not. Now the fun begins!
