That link is *old* (gcc-3.4.3), the details of how to cross-compile tend to change over the years. There are lots of different recipes out there - often, what works for one architecture and one version of gcc does not work for another architecture, or a different version of gcc. I was going to suggest that you look at cross-lfs to get a deeper understanding of cross-compilation. But that won't really help your current attempts to get your erraticOS to build: we've pointed (both on -support, and now on -dev) that you need to follow the book - all of it, and unscripted - at least once. After that, feel free to make as many, or as few, changes as you wish : with luck, your understanding of *what* we are doing will by then be sufficient to let you fix things when they break. For sure, when doing it your own way does break, you get to keep all the pieces. Understanding how we build LFS has very little correlation to skills in programming or in scripting, and it might be a steep learning curve, or extremely tedious when you would rather script it. But the alternative is that you grasp every possible magic bullet that you can find, and end up getting nowhere. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
