From: Margaret Fleck Here's the key details of what worked for me, in case anyone else needs them. There may well be better ways to do some of this, but .... -- Margaret The badge4 has a StrongArm-1110 processor and a StrongArm-1111 coprocessor. Assume that the garbage collector distribution is unpacked into /home/arm/gc, which is visible to both the ARM machine and a linux desktop (e.g. via NFS mounting). Assume that you have a file /home/arm/config.site with contents something like the example attached below. Notice that our local ARM toolchain lives in /skiff/local. Go to /home/arm/gc directory. Do CONFIG_SITE=/home/arm/config.site ./configure --target=arm-linux --prefix=/home/arm/gc On your desktop, do: make make install The main garbage collector library should now be in ../gc/lib/libgc.so. To test the garbage collector, first do the following on your desktop make gctest ./gctest Then do the following on the ARM machine cd .libs ./lt-gctest Do not try to do "make check" (the usual way of running the test program). This does not work and seems to erase some of the important files. The gctest program claims to have succeeded. Haven't run any further tests with it, though I'll be doing so in the near future. ------------------------------- # config.site for configure HOSTCC=gcc # Names of the cross-compilers CC=/skiff/local/bin/arm-linux-gcc CXX=/skiff/local/bin/arm-linux-gcc # The cross compiler specific options CFLAGS="-O2 -fno-exceptions" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -fno-exceptions" CPPFLAGS="-O2 -fno-exceptions" LDFLAGS="" # Some other programs AR=/skiff/local/bin/arm-linux-ar RANLIB=/skiff/local/bin/arm-linux-ranlib NM=/skiff/local/bin/arm-linux-nm ac_cv_path_NM=/skiff/local/bin/arm-linux-nm ac_cv_func_setpgrp_void=yes x_includes=/skiff/local/arm-linux/include/X11 x_libraries=/skiff/local/arm-linux/lib/X11
