Hi Mike,

Is this the document that you are referring to..
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/embedded/handbook/index.xml. I was going through multiple documentations and since none of them was completely appliable for my environment I was doing a mix and match and endded up in trouble.


I think I should be modifying the make.conf of sysroot i.e $SYSROOT/etc/make.conf. This I need to do after running the crossdev utility right.

Let me see how it goes.

Regards,

Phani

you're mixing things. */etc/make.conf is for the normal Gentoo host. *so if
you installed an x86 system, it's most likely i686-pc-linux-gnu.

if you review the embedded handbook, you'll need to create a *different*

make.conf which contains settings for the target board. *in that file, you
would set CBUILD to i686/glibc and CHOST to i586/uclibc.

all documentation should be centered in the handbook. what other documents
were you looking at ?

Hi Mike,

I was looking at http://www.bulah.com/embedded-guide.html and then
http://www.rugludallur.com/index.php?id=138.

BTW, I tried using the crossdev tool and I got the following error.. any idea ?

those were largely obsoleted by the handbook, but we dont have any handbook
guide that takes you from a to z. we give you the toolkit and let you build.
perhaps if someone wanted to integrate a step by step guide into the
handbook, that'd be reasonable.

search bugzilla and you'll find it commonly asked. do not use locale in
uClibc unless you set things up ahead of time.

This command did the trick for me.

USE="-*" crossdev --target i586-gentoo-linux-uclibc
