Hi,
I am attempting to cross-compile a kernel for my MIPS Magnum 4000PC on a
generic Pentium 133 running Slackware 3.1. What I have done so far is:
1. From / I untarred binutils-2.7-3.tar and gcc-2.7.2-3.tar.
2. I created the directory /root/MIPS. In this directory I untarred
inc-4.6.27.tar, and the mips sources for linux-2.0.21.tar.
3. mv usr/include include-4.6.27
rmdir usr
4. cat include-4.6.27-2.diffs | patch -p.
5. I copied all files in include-4.6.27/ to
/root/MIPS/linux-2.0.21/include/.
6. tar xvf glibc-960501.tar. I copied the libraries in usr/lib/ and
/usr/lib/ to /root/MIPS/linux-2.0.21/lib/.
7. I copied the info files from usr/share/info/ into /usr/info/.
I checked the install with particular attention to the symlinks. From
/root/MIPS/linux-2.0.21/ I did a make config and then make dep which
crapped out immediately. This may be the understatement of the year, but
I don't think I've installed my cross-compiler correctly.
I tried this on an i386 with RedHat 4.0, I changed the kernel sources to
2.1.14, I even moved the kernel to /usr/src/linux. No matter what, make
dep immediately runs into trouble.
Obviously I'm doing something wrong and/or I missed a step. Any and all
suggestions as to how to get going are welcome.
Thanks,
Charles
