I want to build arm-elf gcc + glibc using windows 2000 + cygwin. I've searched all over discussion lists and many people has reported some problems with it. I presonally didn't try it yet, because I think it will take a lot of time just to build everything (I have alreay compled once toochain for arm-elf).
Now... the question - did anyone suceeded in building arm-elf using cygwin ? Can you pinpoint me at successful story and instructions on how it can be done ? Or prebuild binaries would be even better.
Is your target really running glibc and Linux? If so, you don't want arm-elf, you want arm-linux.
arm-elf is for bare metal targets without an operating system. arm-elf usually uses newlib rather than glibc.
harry.kaes@tijd.com told me this morning that he'd managed to build mips-elf with newlib using a modified crosstool; he will be posting his patches soon, I think.
My next release of crosstool will support cygwin. (Note that cygwin-1.5.9-1 has a bug that keeps glibc from building on at least some machines; cygwin-1.5.8-1 and earlier work fine. The maintainer is now aware of the problem, which was discussed on the cygwin mailing list today)
You're better off building it from source, I think.
Why trust binaries compiled by some random hacker in
Italy or Russia? Seems like a rather insecure thing
to do.
Better to only trust software from the original source...
It's all about the time. Building and error tracking takes a lot of time.
You said it. I've put about eight months part time into crosstool. Hopefully this will save other people the trouble. At least for the combinations of gcc+glibc I've tested, building a toolchain with crosstool takes about five minutes of thought the first time through, and about twenty seconds each time after that. - Dan
