Hi, 1. I have copied the built toolchain to /usr/local/hurd (without the src/ directory), and have been able to build simple hello world file with the toolchain using a standalone Makefile.
The Makefile is available here: http://shakthimaan.com/downloads/hurd/toolchain/Makefile Kindly upload the Makefile to the wiki. Can the toolchain be made available at the wiki site for others to try it? 2. The same toolchain has been used to build an autotools source code package (gnumach), using the following steps from the sources top-level directory: export CC=/usr/local/hurd/bin/i586-pc-gnu-gc export LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/hurd/sys_root/lib ./configure --host=i586-pc-gnu make 3. To test the built target files, I used Debian GNU Hurd image with qemu. Follow this tutorial to build the image: http://eyeside.net/hurd/Hurd-on-QEMU.html http://www.bddebian.com/~wiki/hurd/running/qemu/ The partition on the image looks likes this (output of "file debian-hurd-qemu.img"): debian-hurd-for-qemu.img: x86 boot sector, GRand Unified Bootloader; partition 1: ID=0x83, active, starthead 1, startsector 63, 29169 sectors; partition 2: ID=0x83, starthead 0, startsector 29232, 1406160 sectors; partition 3: ID=0x82, starthead 15, startsector 1435392, 127008 sectors, code offset 0x48 You can transfer the files to the image by mounting it locally: mount debian-hurd-qemu.img /mnt -o loop,offset=14966784 To mount the boot partition (to replace gnumach.gz), use: mount debian-hurd-qemu.img /test -o loop,offset=14966784 After transfering the files, just unmount the partition and test with qemu: qemu debian-hurd-qemu.img Regards, SK -- Shakthi Kannan http://www.shakthimaan.com _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list Bug-hurd@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
