Re: Could you updatre the cross compilers?
Hello,
2006/11/17, Christoph Lameter <christoph@lameter.com>:
I was really glad to find this cross compiler collection and I can force
install and then they work but I cannot use apt to install them. Would
you please update the packages so that they work with recent
testing/unstable?
Maybe you could change the dependency check for gcc-4.1 from
= 4.1.1-13 to something like >= 4.1.1.-13 ? Otherwise this is going
to break each time a minor gcc update occurs.
We are doing still some testing work with cross-compilers. I already
notice what you said. It shall be not difficult to change that
dependency, we'll see.
schroedinger:/home/christoph# apt-get install gcc-4.1-ia64-linux-gnu
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
gcc-4.1-ia64-linux-gnu: Depends: gcc-4.1-base (= 4.1.1-13) but 4.1.1-19
is to be installed
Here, we just have found a bug, it should depen on gcc-4.1-base-ia64
(or similar name).
BTW, are you using ia64 cross-compiler? we were thinking on not
supporting those, are those are not for embedded systems and probably
ia64 compiles natively. But, do you think is it useful to support that
arch?
Depends: cpp-4.1-ia64-linux-gnu (= 4.1.1-13) but
it is not going to be installed
Depends: libgcc1-ia64-cross (>= 1:4.1.1-13) but
it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages
As wookey said, give us some time to arrange all changes on apt
repository, wiki page, webpage, etc...
:-)
Regards,
Hector
