Hi , I'm trying to build a kernel distribution for the Inter SA1100(Strong Arm) processor. I have a redhat 6.0 running on an Intel Pentium. Here are the steps I have followed : 1. Installed binutils (2.9.5.xxx) 2. Compiled and created the gcc for arm(arm-linux-gcc). 3. Created the kernel headers.(as specified at http://developer.intel.com/design/strong/applnots/sa1100lx/sa1100lx.htm) 4. Now , I'm trying to install glibc2.1(with crypt and linuxthreads) on the machine. Here is the error message I get during configure : Some files are missing or too old . Check INSTALL for info. Could someone help me out ?? Also , here are some questions that have cropped up : 1. I have the gcc2.9.16 installed as part ofo the redhat distro on the intel machine. From the ARM-README, i figured that gcc2.7.xx onwards , one can use gcc as a cross compiler.(From what little I understand of cross compilers, I figured that one can generate code for a different processor while on another processor-based system) ie : generate code for the ARM while on an intel machine. Now, since my compiler can already do so , why do I need to install another compiler for the cross compilation ???Can't I use gcc -b to generate code for the ARM ?? Also , I understand that the glibcs need to be in ARM format.Isn't there a binary distro of the glibcs which I could install directly and point my compiler to pick up hte libs from where I installed the glibc binaries (for the ARM) ?? Thanks in advance.
