Description: Build toolchains for cross-compilation
Crosstool Next Generation is all-in-one solution for generating
toolchains for cross-compilation.

The tool allows a developer to select and build specific versions
of the tools (gcc, g++, glibc/eglibc, etc.)

Samples of working configurations are included and can be located
in the /usr/share/ct-ng-1.5.0/samples directory.
-- cut -----------------------------------------------------------

rpmlint results:
 * devel-file-in-non-devel-package -- 21 times:
   - The relevant files are used by crosstool-ng during runtime, when
     it build the toolchain configured by the developer.
   - Since crosstool-ng is itself a development tool, there is no point
     in naming it crosstool-ng-devel (since there won't be any crosstool-ng
     base package).
   - This is very similar to MinGW guidelines:
      http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MinGW/Rpmlint
 * non-executable-script -- 5 times:
   - These are actually script templates which are configured by crosstool-ng
     during the toolchain building process.
   - I initially patched crosstool-ng so they'll be executable. However,
     after talking with upstream I was convinced to drop this patch.

Duplicate of 502699?

Comment 2 Oron Peled 2010-01-18 22:08:32 UTC
Hmmm... yes, but looks like the original packager got tired of waiting ;-)

Anyone for review? Just step in and I'll bump it to the "just-released" 1.5.3

Thanks,

Comment 4 Felipe Contreras 2010-08-10 10:37:37 UTC
Looks like you are missing $RPM_OPT_FLAGS.

Comment 5 Oron Peled 2010-08-10 14:45:03 UTC
Thanks,

1. I'll add it when packaging new upstream version (they just released 1.8.x)
2. Do you want to review it?

Comment 6 Felipe Contreras 2010-08-10 15:00:45 UTC
Well, I already reviewed this, I don't see anything else wrong.

BTW. I'm no packager.

Comment 7 Jason Tibbitts 2010-11-03 17:41:32 UTC
This fails to build for me:

Checking for 'lzma'... no
lzma: none found
Either you are missing entirely the needed tool,
or the version you have is too old.
configure: Bailing out...

A scratch build is at http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2574836

Please clear the Whiteboard if providing a version which builds.

Comment 8 Oron Peled 2010-11-06 22:37:39 UTC
New Spec:
 http://oron.fedorapeople.org/crosstool-ng/crosstool-ng.spec
New SRPM:
 http://oron.fedorapeople.org/crosstool-ng/crosstool-ng-1.9.0-1.fc14.src.rpm

 * Bumped to latest stable upstream (1.9.0)
 * Added missing lzma BR
 * Built on F-14

I'm now trying to use it to build the same (old) toolchain as I built with
crosstool-ng-1.4.2 on F-11 (for validation). This will take some time.
