Chris, I'm just wondering why do you even need gcc-4.5? Unless you specifically use gcc-4.5 based toolchain with meta-arago. That is the only reason I keep gcc-4.5 recipes in meta-arago to support old products with old toolchains. We've moved to 4.7 Linaro quite some time ago - when you use that, you won't need to download 4.5 version. If you really need gcc-4.5 and it's not just a misconfiguration, then I have a tarball available that can be uploaded to a mirror... -- Denys _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
