I'm trying to cross compile X11 using the "new"scheme" using a Red Hat
7.3 X86 host and a PowerPC target. I've tried X11R6.8.1 from x.org and
4.3.0 from xfree86.org and the result is the same.
make World CROSSCOMPILEDIR=/pathtomyppc/bin 2>&1 | tee World.log
This results is the following
cd ./config/imake && make -f Makefile.ini BOOTSTRAPCFLAGS=¨ CC="cc"clean make[1]: Entering directory `/mysourcepath/build/config/imake' rm -f ccimake imake.o imake rm -f *.CKP *.ln *.BAK *.bak *.o core errs ,* *~*.a tags TAGS make.log \#* rm -f -r Makefile.proto Makefile Makefile.dep bootstrap rm -f imakemdep_cpp.h make[1]: Leaving directory `/mysourcepath/build/config/imake' make Makefile.boot make[1]: Entering directory `/mysourcepath/build' cd ./config/imake && make -w -f Makefile.ini BOOTSTRAPCFLAGS=¨ CC="cc" make[2]: Entering directory `/mysourcepath/build/config/imake' making imake with BOOTSTRAPCFLAGS= and CROSSCOMPILEFLAGS=-DCROSSCOMPILEDIR="/pathtomyppc/bin"in config/imake cc -o ccimake -DCROSSCOMPILEDIR=\"/pathtomyppc/bin\" -O -I../../include -I../../imports/x11/include/X11 ccimake.c if [ -n "/pathtomyppc/bin"] ; then \ /pathtomyppc/bin/cc -E `./ccimake`\ -DCROSSCOMPILE_CPP imakemdep.h > imakemdep_cpp.h; \ else touch imakemdep_cpp.h; fi /bin/sh: /pathtomyppc/bin/cc: No such file or directory make[2]: *** [imakemdep_cpp.h] Error 127 make[2]: Leaving directory `/mysourcepath/build/config/imake' make[1]: *** [imake.proto] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/mysourcepath/build' make: *** [World] Error 2
Now the problem is that my cross compiled is not called "cc"but "ppc_82xx-cpp". I tried to set CC=ppc_82xx-cpp when calling make and also tried to modify build/config/imake/Makefile.ini but this seems to result in a PowerPC bootstrap rather than a X86 bootstrap (so it can't execute the binary).
I can of of course make symbolic links from ppc_82xx-cpp to cc, but I feel that this *should* work.
1) Is this a bug in the bootstrap makefile, if not, how do I make ut use ppc_82xx-cpp and the local gcc for bootstrap? BTW I have
#define CcCmd ppc_82xx-gcc and #define HostCcCmd cc in cross.def
2) Where can I find documentation on this new method of cross compilation? I've seen some references to a document called ccimake.pdf (or something like that) when searching on Google, but the link is broken.
3) Also when compiling x.org X11R6.8.1 I always get:
xmlconfig.c:34:19: expat.h: No such file or directory xmlconfig.c:135: parse error before '*'token
Any clues?
TIA Petter
