Re: powerpc slind host
Hi,
First, some documentation's "corrections":
#dpkg takes the package name, not the deb name.
5. C library.
First of all, you should remove the package with libc
development headers. So, for glibc, do
$ dpkg --remove libc6-dev-headers-<arch>-cross
or, in case of uclibc target:
$ dpkg --remove libuclibc-dev-headers-<arch>-cross
#Specific(?) recommandations to host toolchain
#Emdebian team: They are the main ideas, you can rewrite them ;)
-Check dependancy with dpkg-buildpackage -D before to try to
build the package. I'm not sure, but that's possible that some
package depend on version not included in sarge. Install sarge
packages worked for me.
-GCC debs complains about gcc-3.4-base (
http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?searchmode=filelist&word=gcc-3.4-base&version=stable&arch=powerpc
) , which isn't useful here, just force install with
--force-depends (see man dpkg-buildpackage).

As I explained above, you need to play with some
dpkg-buildpackage options, to build and to install the
toolchain. I will build some packages this week, to check if
there isn't some hidden problems.
The slind team did an excellent work, with a wonderful
documentation. That was exactly what I searched(/waited)
since(?) some months. Many thanks to them.
Best regards
Julien
