Re: apt-get won't install cross tools

["Hector Oron" <hector.oron@gmail.com>]

Hello,

Currently i'm working to keep up to date emdebian cross toolchain. Right now it is outside from repository (we need to fix that). But you can find some bits at...
http://www.emdebian.org/~zumbi/toolchain

Some toolchains are not completed due to bugs or because we have been having some trouble with main server. So, if you can not find a toolchain that fit your needs, please tell me.

    Hello list,

    I recently acquired a Freescale MC9328 arm core based board already
running a linux kernel (2.4.26) which I would like to customise myself so I
decided I would try the embedian cross tool chains "suite". I have a 3.1 r2
distro with default 2.4.27 kernel. However when I try to install the package
as indicated, apt-get reports:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  gcc-3.3-arm-linux: Depends: gcc-3.3-base (= 1:3.3.6-13) but 1:3.3.5-13 is
to be installed
                     Depends: cpp-3.3-arm-linux (= 1:3.3.6-13) but it is not
going to be installed
                     Depends: libgcc1-arm-cross (>= 1:3.3.4-3 ) but it is not
going to be installed
  libc6-dev-arm-cross: Depends: libc6-arm-cross (= 2.3.6-7) but it is not
going to be installed
E: Broken packages

    It appears I have a too recent version of the gcc base so apt won't
install the package. Is there any solution?

    I also had found this link:

http://www.jimbrooks.org/web/linux/docs/programming/SettingUpACrossDevelopmentEnvironmentOnDebianLinux.php

    explaining a step by step method of creating a cross compiler
environment, but I couldn't complete it due to missing packages/dependencies
being reported at the "GCC" section of the page. After removing the above
packages and trying again it now fails at the first binutils-arm-linux
compile (debuild) with the following error:

dpkg-buildpackage: source package is binutils-arm-linux
dpkg-buildpackage: source version is 2.15-5
dpkg-buildpackage: source maintainer is iceman <iceman@nospam>

  Something must have broken - I guess I'm out of luck.

    To be precise, the MC9328 board contains a kernel compiled with the
following parameters:

Configured with: /usr/src/RPM/BUILD/crosstool/source/gcc- 3.3.2/configure
--target=arm-linux --host=i686-host_pc-linux-gnu
--prefix/usr/local/arm-linux/gcc-3.3.2-glibc-2.3.2
--with-headers=/usr/local/arm-linux/gcc-3.3.2-glibc-2.3.2/arm-linux/include
--with-local-prefix=/usr/local/arm-linux/gcc- 3.3.2-glibc-2.3.2/arm-linux
--disable-nls --enable-threads=posix --enable-symvers=gnu
--enable-__cxa_atexit --enable-languages=c,c++ --enable-shared
--enable-c99 --enable-long-long
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.3.2


    Any pointers for a workaround on the cross tools problem will be
appreciated.

    Thank you.
