Hi,
In poky master, the current version of gcc is 4.7.2. If I have a
situation, where I need to revert back to using gcc-4.5.1, how can I do this
cleanly?
Perhaps some of the issues that I'm facing with getting my root filesystem
image booting on my Xilinx ML507 development board (Virtex 5 PowerPC 440
processor) might be related the new gcc-4.7.2 release.
At the moment, I've had to delete my entire build, switch to the bernard-5.0.2
tag, and then attempt to try and build a new rootfilesystem. Others have
successfully built and got linux running on my target board, with bernard-5.0,
about a year ago.
So, if it does indeed turn out that I need to use an older version of gcc, for
my target, what should I do, to continue working with the poky master repo, but
only use the older gcc-4.5.1 release?
Some options that I can think of are:
a. Reintroduce the older gcc-4.5.1 recipes in a local branch, but that would
mean others would not be able to reproduce my work on their machines.
b. Use bernard-5.0.2 to build the toolchain, and set things up so that it uses
that as an external toolchain.
I don't think both the options are elegant, so if someone could offer any
suggestions it would be great.
Best regards,
Elvis Dowson
