  81
  82                               <p>I was under a mistaken assumption that I needed to have a PPC machine in order to do this and was waiting for one. Thu informed me that I could build 5.0.0 for cross and even rebuild the toolchain cross - that I wouldn't need a ppc machine until I needed to build a native gcc.</p>
  83
  84 <p>Building for ppc takes a long time as our ppc machines are slow and there's a lot more to build for ppc.</p>

 129                            <div class="entry-body">
 130                               <ul>
 131
 132 <li>Built 3.2.2 toolchain natively on Lynxos 5.0.0</li>
 133
 134 </ul>
 135
 136                               <p>Came in to find that the native build of the 5.0 toolchain went nowhere. Seems, as I expected, that I need to unpack 18010.x11r6.tar.gz and 18011.pd.tar.gz too. Unpacked that and restarted build.<p>
 137
 138 <p>Build failed again, this time <i>Memory Exhausted</i>. I had to do <tt>ulimit -s -d 1000000</tt> and restart build</p>
 139
 140 <p>Build finally succeeded. Did make package then copied to t3 area (to be precise <tt>t3:/export/dev_archive/lynxos/tools-5.0.0/3.2.2-120604</tt>). Only needed to copy over the <tt>toolchain-i386-lynx-lynxos-i386.tar.gz</tt> as this package is the 5.0.0 toolchain built natively</p>
 141
 142 <p>Created a new build area on dopey @ <tt>/export/build1/LYNXOS_500/build/lynxos/120604-C</tt>. Needed to copy over int_tools and modify <tt>int_tools/__profile.exp</tt> to:
 143
 144 <ol>
 145
 146 <li>Change <tt>DIR_PATH(archive)</tt> back to dopey (it was at t3 for 120604-B) </li>
 147
 148 <li>Change <tt>int_tools/EXP_LIB/steps.exp</tt> to use gnuaout instead of gnu in the name of the package. There is a little debate of which way this should go</li>
 149
 150 </ol>
 151
 152 <p><b>Note:</b> I find all of these different machines with different long pathnames confusing. For example, I would think using the principal of separation of code and data that the <i>int_tools</i> code should be globally accessible and that one should not be modifying variable contents before running scripts. That's data and should either have to be supplied or kept in a data file perhaps separate for each build run. IOW <i>int_tools</i> should be globally visable (perhaps in one's PATH) and execuable as code and not modified per run. Also, as such it should in CVS and perhaps grabbed from CVS with an official TAG.</p>
