Re: Error while rebuilding glibc for ELDK

In message [off-list ref] you wrote:

I am using Wolfgang's ELDK for my ppc linux development. It works very good.

Thanks a million, Wolfgang!

Thanks for the compliments :-)

But since I want to use a 2.4.19 kernel instead of the 2.4.4 I tried to rebuild
the glibc.

What has the kernel  version  to  do  with  the  C  library  used  by
applications?

I pulled the glibc-2.2.1-0f.src.rpm from ftp.leo.org installed it in
/opt/ELDK/usr/src/denx/SRPMS and started rebuilding the glibc with

Ummm... you mean you pulled the source RPM from the  ELDK  directory?
Or what?

scholz@pinguin:/opt/ELDK/usr/src/denx/SPECS> ppc_8xx-rpm -ba glibc.spec

It all works well until the installation scripts:

...

So what's the problem here? Is the file "el.mo" broken? Can I skip this? (I am
sure I won't need el.mo)

If I remember correctly, you're running on a SuSE  system?  We  never
verified  building  in sucha n environment. Under RH-7.x (x=1,2,3) it
works fine.

BTW: Wolfgang, do I have to be superuser to rebuild a target package for ELDK? I
guess not.

No. The only case where superuser permissions are needed is to create
the /dev entries (running the ELDK_MAKEDEV script) after installation
of the tools - but this is only necessary when you want to export the
native tools on a NFS server.
