Source: gcc-4.6 Severity: wishlist Hi,
while https://wiki.debian.org/BuildingCrossCompilers is an invaluable help to people dabbling in such black art, but wishing to do it “the proper Debian way”, it lacks a certain functionality. For example, if I want to build a cross-compiler to Debian/m68k, I can use this for binutils: |TARGET=$(dpkg-architecture -am68k -qDEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE 2>/dev/null) (or just TARGET=m68k-linux-gnu of course) But I need to use this for gcc-4.6: |GCC_TARGET=m68k Currently, reading the Debian gcc packaging, there seems to be no way to create a cross-compiler the Debian way to something that is not a Debian or Debian-Ports architecture. I could probably register mint-m68k¹²³ with the dpkg developers, but it would be more generically useful to just be able to tell it the GNU triplet m68k-atari-mint and let GCC work with that (besides, the package names are based on the triplets anyway). ① http://web.archive.org/web/20080517034704/http://debian-mint.nocrew.org/ ② http://ftp.nocrew.org/pub/debian-mint/ ③ Although I need the cross compiler to be able to compile a bootloader for the Atari to boot Linux on it (and as such must run on the native OS and be cross-built), not for continuing the Debian GNU/MiNT port. bye, //mirabilos -- Support mksh as /bin/sh and RoQA dash NOW! ‣ src:bash (244 (263) bugs: 0 RC, 172 (186) I&N, 72 (77) M&W, 0 F&P) ‣ src:dash (75 (87) bugs: 3 RC, 31 (35) I&N, 41 (49) M&W, 0 F&P) ‣ src:mksh (1 bug: 0 RC, 0 I&N, 1 M&W, 0 F&P) http://qa.debian.org/data/bts/graphs/d/dash.png is pretty red, innit? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
