problems while making glibc 2.2.3

Jun 12, 2004 4 Replies

Hi group,



Iam new to embedded Linux. to start off iam first configuring a embedded linux workstation. i have a x86 host and x86 target. i successufully installed the linux kernal 2.4.18, binutils-2.10.1, gcc-2.95.3 and now i have a problem with glibc-2.2.3.



iam using " #make cross-compile=yes install_root=${TARGET_PREFIX} prefix="" install" to make the glibc-2.2.3 package. iam getting an error 2 . can anyone guide me how to go ahead with this .



thanks for your time, ramesh


Please post the last lines of your build process.

Please post your entire build script, and a little more context on the error. Or better yet, just use

to build glibc. (By the way, why are you using such old binutils, compiler, and glibc? If you can, you'd be better off using newer versions. Even if your target is stuck at glibc-2.2.3, you can probably use a newer gcc and binutils...)

these are the last few line of the build process before i get a error.
