Hi,
I was looking at the latest linux/MIPS How-To document on
ftp.linux.sgi.com/cvs/faq written by Ralf which had the instructions on how to
setup a cross compiler. I have a couple of questions regarding these
instructions that I hope that someone may have an answer to.
Q1:
===
The instructions asks to download the following source packages:
binutils-2.8.1.tar.gz
binutils-2.8.1-2.diff.gz
egcs-1.0.3a.tar.gz
egcs-1.0.3a-1.diff.gz
glibc-2.0.6.tar.gz
glibc-crypt-2.0.6.tar.gz
glibc-localedata-2.0.6.tar.gz
glibc-linuxthreads-2.0.6.tar.gz
Some patches are also required which are:
binutils-2.8.1-mips.patch
egcs-1.0.3a-mips.patch
glibc-2.0.6-mips.patch
I searched ftp.linux.sgi.com for the above file but I could ONLY find :
binutils-2.8.1.tar.gz
So where can I get the rest of the files from ? A full path into an ftp site
would be really appreciated.
Q2:
===
I am actually trying to crosscompile the linux/MIPS kernel. To get the sources
I
used the anonymous cvs server from ftp.linux.sgi.com/cvs to checkout the linux
sources with a linux_2_2 tag which I assumed is a stable version for 2.2
kernel. Is that correct ? If not which is the latest linux/MIPS kernel that I
can get.
Thank you for your help.
