| 16:18.24 | blackard_ | Anyone on that can help with compile problems I'm having? |
| 16:24.04 | blackard_ | I'm running RedHat on my desktop which comes with gcc 3.2, but the toolchain is for 2.95. How can I build a new toolchain? |
| 16:29.36 | nils__ | Err... the toolchain _is_ 2.95, not for 2.95... |
| 16:31.48 | blackard_ | so, that toolchain will work just fine with gcc 3.2? I have been refreshing the source, cleaning up and rebuilding regularly over the last few weeks. I get a few warnings when building zImage, but building modules dies with an error and produced a 10K warning/error log. |
| 16:36.02 | nils__ | You do not use your host gcc when cross-compiling. The only point where it is used in kernel build is to build some utilities like the menuconfig or dependencies stuff. The rest is "native". All problems you seems to have should in 99% of cases be problems with other things. What errors you get? |
| 16:37.31 | blackard_ | hang on... getting the logs up... |
| 16:39.46 | blackard_ | the zImage warnings are mostly 'unknown conversion type character 'z' in format', there's a few conversion warnings, implicit declaration warnings, and uninitialized or unused variable warnings. |
| 16:40.41 | nils__ | That's nothing very unusual and almost sure unrelated to the compiler. |
| 16:41.03 | blackard_ | modules has a ton of 'dreferencing pointer to incomplete type' messages... |
| 16:41.30 | blackard_ | modules ends with the following 4 lines: |
| 16:41.41 | blackard_ | make[3]: *** [mwvlan.o] Error 1 |
| 16:41.47 | blackard_ | make[2]: *** [_modsubdir_wireless] Error 2 |
| 16:41.59 | blackard_ | make[1]: *** [_modsubdir_net] Error 2 |
| 16:42.07 | blackard_ | make: *** [_mod_drivers] Error 2 |
| 16:42.49 | blackard_ | it it would help I've got the stdout and stderr logs saved to disk |
| 16:43.06 | blackard_ | Thanks by the way for anything you're able to help with. |
| 16:43.20 | nils__ | Those errors don't help me much, the errors above those are more interesting. |
| 16:45.56 | blackard_ | It's a 10K error log captures via 'make modules > modules.log 2> modules.err' I can rerun the make to produce one log file, and send it to you compressed or otherwise. |
| 16:46.22 | nils__ | simply send both, does not matter. |
| 16:49.41 | blackard_ | ok... now here's where I show what a looser I am... I'm brand new to IRC... how shall I send you the files? |
| 16:54.15 | blackard_ | I can't find an email for you in the people pages and help doesn't show a method of attaching or sending a file. |
| 17:03.31 | blackard_ | whois nils__ |
| 17:17.22 | blackard_ | nils__: I send the files to your whois address. |
| 17:17.36 | blackard_ | nils__: ...er sent. |
| 18:33.40 | nils__ | blackard_: This will not work since I am only a current guest here. Please have it DCC FTP, OK? |
| 18:35.05 | blackard_ | er... I emailed it to you mma29.dar.cam.ac.uk account... I don't grok 'DCC FTP' I know FTP... but to what server. |
