Problems building gcc-4.1 from etch testing. 'debian/rules control' fails because no FFI or GFDL files in /debian
I'm trying to build a powerpc cross compiler using the Embedian
guidelines for building from source. I'm working from an Etch install
of Oct. 2. I've retrieved the GCC source using
apt-get source gcc-4.1
which returned the following flavor of gcc-4.1
gcc-4.1_4.1.1ds1-13
I've successfully built and installed binutils 2.17-2, but when trying
to reconfigure gcc-4.1 for powerpc using
debian/rules control
I get a failure because the script can't find debian/*FFI* files. I
checked the script and it appears it will also fail to find
debian/*GFDL* files, since neither of these file types exist in the
/debian directory. Is it possible these have been removed and the rules
scripts just not updated, or am I doing something wrong? All of the
other file types it is looking for at that point in the script exist in
the directory (e.g. debian/*BV* files)
Here is the tail of the script where the failure occurs.
fs=`echo debian/*-BV* debian/*GCJ* debian/*CXX* debian/*LC*
debian/*FFI*|sort -u`; \
for f in $fs; do \
[ -f $f ] || echo "CANNOT FIND $f"; \
[ -f $f ] || continue; \
case $f in \
debian/libgcjGCJ.*) \
f2=$(echo $f | sed
's/BV/4.1/;s/PV/2.1/;s/CXX/6/;s/GCJ/7-0/;s/LC/1/;s/FFI/4/');; \
*) \
f2=$(echo $f | sed
's/BV/4.1/;s/PV/2.1/;s/CXX/6/;s/GCJ/7/;s/LC/1/;s/FFI/4/'); \
esac; \
sed -e 's/@BV@/4.1/g' \
-e 's/@PV@/2.1/g' \
-e 's/@CXX@/6/g' \
-e 's/@GCJ@/7/g' \
-e 's/@LC@/1/g' \
-e 's/@FFI@/4/g' \
-e 's/@GFDL@//g' \
$f > $f2; \
touch -r $f $f2; \
done
CANNOT FIND debian/*FFI*
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/cross-toolchain/gcc-4.1-4.1.1ds1'
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Here are some notes I have been taking as I went along in the process of
building the tool chain, as to exactly what I did.
Steps to building a cross compile tool chain in Debian
Cribbed general technique from http://psas.pdx.edu/DebianCrossCompilerHowto
**0. Starting with Etch install circa 10/02/06.
**1. Create a working directory.
This process will create many files and directories; you will want to
work in a separate working directory.
--------------------
androcross:/usr/src# mkdir -p /usr/src/cross-toolchain
androcross:/usr/src# cd /usr/src/cross-toolchain
androcross:/usr/src/cross-toolchain#
**2. Get the source for binutils and GCC
In order to build a cross-compilation toolchain, you need to get the
source for the Debian binutils and GCC packages. Note that you need
binutils 2.16.1cvs20060413-1 or newer to build cross packages
--------------------
androcross:/etc/apt# apt-get source binutils gcc-4.1
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Need to get 62.1MB of source archives.
<snip>
dpkg-source: extracting binutils in binutils-2.17
dpkg-source: unpacking binutils_2.17.orig.tar.gz
dpkg-source: applying ./binutils_2.17-2.diff.gz
gpg: Signature made Fri 01 Sep 2006 09:54:21 AM EDT using DSA key ID
0F932C9C
gpg: Can't check signature: public key not found
dpkg-source: extracting gcc-4.1 in gcc-4.1-4.1.1ds1
dpkg-source: unpacking gcc-4.1_4.1.1ds1.orig.tar.gz
dpkg-source: applying ./gcc-4.1_4.1.1ds1-13.diff.gz
androcross:/etc/apt#
**3. Install Build Depends
GCC and binutils require several other packages in order to build; you
can install all of them using "apt-get build-dep"; this will also
install build-essential.
--------------------
androcross:/etc/apt# apt-get build-dep binutils gcc-4.1
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
The following NEW packages will be installed:
autoconf autoconf2.13 autogen automake1.9 autotools-dev build-essential
chrpath debhelper dejagnu doxygen dpatch expect-tcl8.3 gawk gettext gperf
graphviz gsfonts-x11 html2text intltool-debian lib64gcc1 lib64z1
lib64z1-dev
libc6-dev-amd64 libgmp3-dev libgmp3c2 libgmpxx4 libmpfr-dev libmpfr1
libopts25 libopts25-dev libperl5.8 libtool po-debconf realpath tcl8.3
tcl8.4
tk8.4 zlib1g-dev
0 upgraded, 38 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 17.6MB of archives.
After unpacking 52.1MB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]?
<snip>
**4. Install fakeroot and dpkg-cross
fakeroot allows you to build packages without being root.
dpkg-cross adds cross-compilation support to some of the basic Debian
package tools. dpkg-cross can also convert packages designed for the
target architecture into packages usable for cross-compilation to that
architecture.
--------------------
androcross:/usr/src/cross-toolchain# aptitude install fakeroot
androcross:/usr/src/cross-toolchain# aptitude install dpkg-cross
**5. Unpack the source trees for binutils and gcc
--------------------
androcross:/usr/src/cross-toolchain# ls
binutils-2.17 gcc-4.1-4.1.1ds1
binutils_2.17-2.diff.gz gcc-4.1_4.1.1ds1-13.diff.gz
binutils_2.17-2.dsc gcc-4.1_4.1.1ds1-13.dsc
binutils_2.17.orig.tar.gz gcc-4.1_4.1.1ds1.orig.tar.gz
androcross:/usr/src/cross-toolchain# dpkg-source -x binutils_2.17-2.dsc
gpg: Signature made Wed 26 Jul 2006 04:53:07 PM EDT using RSA key ID
AB2A91F5
gpg: Can't check signature: public key not found
dpkg-source: extracting binutils in binutils-2.17

gcc-4.1-4.1.1ds1/ gcc-4.1_4.1.1ds1-13.dsc
gcc-4.1_4.1.1ds1-13.diff.gz gcc-4.1_4.1.1ds1.orig.tar.gz
androcross:/usr/src/cross-toolchain# dpkg-source -x gcc-4.1_4.1.1ds1-13.dsc
gpg: Signature made Fri 01 Sep 2006 09:54:21 AM EDT using DSA key ID
0F932C9C
gpg: Can't check signature: public key not found

dpkg-source: unpacking gcc-4.1_4.1.1ds1.orig.tar.gz
dpkg-source: applying ./gcc-4.1_4.1.1ds1-13.diff.gz
**6. Build binutils.
--------------------
androcross:/usr/src/cross-toolchain/binutils-2.17#
TARGET=powerpc-linux-gnu fakeroot debian/rules binary-cross >
../binutils.build 2>&1 || echo 'Build error'
**7. Install binutils.
The binutils package must be installed in order to build the GCC package.
--------------------
androcross:/usr/src/cross-toolchain# dpkg -i
binutils-powerpc-linux-gnu_2.17-2_i386.deb
Selecting previously deselected package binutils-powerpc-linux-gnu.
(Reading database ... 72837 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking binutils-powerpc-linux-gnu (from
binutils-powerpc-linux-gnu_2.17-2_i386.deb) ...
Setting up binutils-powerpc-linux-gnu (2.17-2) ...
**8. Get and convert library packages
You will need cross-compilation packages for various libraries;
dpkg-cross can convert native packages for the target architecture into
packages usable for cross-compilation.
--------------------
androcross:/usr/src/cross-toolchain# export
http_proxy="http://webcache.east:8080";

**9. Build GCC
Now that you have all the necessary prerequisites, you can build a
cross-compiling GCC.
--------------------
androcross:/usr/src/cross-toolchain# cd gcc-4.1-4.1.1ds1/
androcross:/usr/src/cross-toolchain/gcc-4.1-4.1.1ds1# export
GCC_TARGET=powerpc
androcross:/usr/src/cross-toolchain/gcc-4.1-4.1.1ds1# debian/rules control
STUCK
