Hi all!
My first attempt to do a crosscompiler (this thread:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7077) had an error, in that it created it with hardware floating point support, while the iliad uses softfloat. Here are the instructions to create it for softfloat support (bonus: I've also documented the integration with scratchbox (see this other thread:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7131, so you can compile programs for the iliad as if using a native compiler, so most of autoconf-based programs compile flawlessly).
Here it is:
How to install a crosscompiler with softfloat support and integrated with scratchbox
# adduser iliad27
# sudo sb-adduser iliad27
# su - iliad27
$ wget -O crosstool-iliad-files.tar.gz "https://www.mobileread.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=1312"
$ tar -xvzf crosstool-iliad-files.tar.gz
$ wget -O demo-iliad-softfloat.sh.txt "https://www.mobileread.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=1986"
$ cd crosstool
$ wget
http://www.kegel.com/crosstool/crosstool-0.42.tar.gz
$ tar -xvzf crosstool-0.42.tar.gz
$ cd ~/crosstool/crosstool-0.42/
$ cp ../../demo-iliad-softfloat.sh.txt demo-iliad-softfloat.sh
$ chmod a+x demo-iliad-softfloat.sh
$ . ../prepare.sh
$ sudo mkdir /scratchbox/compilers/arm-linux-iliad-softfloat
$ sudo chown iliad27:iliad27 /scratchbox/compilers/arm-linux-iliad-softfloat
$ ./demo-iliad-softfloat.sh
(Wait a lot of time while the toolchain builds)
(That's all, you should have your new toolchain in the specified RESULT_TOP, that is, /scratchbox/compilers/arm-linux-iliad-softfloat directory.)
Integration with scratchbox
$ cd /scratchbox/compilers/arm-linux-iliad-softfloat
$ ln -s gcc-3.4.2-glibc-2.3.3/arm-softfloat-linux-gnu/* .
$ cd /scratchbox/compilers/arm-linux-iliad
$ ~/sb-toolchain-extras/confhelper/create_toolchain_conf.py > ~/sb-toolchain-extras/meta/alien-tc/arm-iliad.conf
$ cd ~
$ darcs get --set-scripts-executable
http://scratchbox.org/repos/1.0/sb-toolchain-extras
(alternatively, if you don't have dracs installed, you can untar the attached file)
$ cd /scratchbox/compilers/arm-linux-iliad-softfloat
$ ~/sb-toolchain-extras/confhelper/create_toolchain_conf.py > ~/sb-toolchain-extras/meta/alien-tc/arm-iliad-softfloat.conf
$ cd ~/sb-toolchain-extras
$ make CONFIG=meta/alien-tc/arm-iliad-softfloat.conf -C meta/alien-tc all-sums
$ make CONFIG=meta/alien-tc/arm-iliad-softfloat.conf -C meta/alien-tc
$ find . -name configure -exec chmod a+x \{\} \;
$ cd /scratchbox/compilers/arm-linux-iliad/arm-softfloat-linux-gnu/bin
$ for i in * ; do ln -s $i sbox-$i ; done
Configuration of the user to use the new crosscompiler
$ sb-menu
(new target, select the new toolchain, select qemu-arm/perl/debian, don't unpack filesystem, install all utilities and select the new target as default)
Enter scratchbox
$ scratchbox
Miscellaneous
I've untarred the filesystem.27.tar.gz in /iliad in the scratchbox setup, and also done
sbox$ cd /usr/lib
sbox$ ln -s /iliad/usr/lib/* .
For the header files... untar the attached src-xdevel.tar.gz file (files taken shamelessly from debian arm packages...). I've untarred it in /home/iliad27/ , and then
$ cd /usr/include
$ ln -s /home/iliad27/src.xdevel/usr/X11R6/include/X11 .
And I've tested it compiling tcltk 8.5a4; it compiles flawlessly :-). In the previous attempt, tk wouldn't compile...
Have fun!
