Hi Folks

I thought it was time to look at this. I've followed the various
instructions at http://www.riscos.info/index.php/Using_GCCSDK and more
or less got a working crossbuild environment. I did gave to patch ppl
for a ptrdiff_t error.

I haven't seen this problem myself; perhaps an issue with the native GCC

native gcc is 4.9.1 on ubuntu .. is that as expected?

Yes, I can't see why v4.9.1 should be a problem.

If any packages that you need fail to build, then it's probably best to
report them here on the mail list and I'm sure someone will have a look
for you.

I'm usually happy to patch.. the Q really is what path to feed back the
accumulated knowledge

Oh, I see, well as Theo says, post to the list or create a ticket in
GCCSDK bugzilla which will send a message to the list.

thanks

A third Q: SharedUnixLibrary: who currently handles this?.. are the
sources accessible?

This is part of the Unixlib source and can be found at:

gcc4/srcdir/gcc/libunixlib/module/sul.s

Ok, Thanks.  To build it, is there a simple command?

If you've already built the cross compiler, then the binary can be found
at either:

gcc4/builddir/cross-gcc/arm-unknown-riscos/libunixlib/sul

or:

cross/bin/arm-unknown-riscos-sul

If you make changes to the source and want to rebuild it, then the
quickest way is to change to directory:

gcc4/builddir/cross-gcc/arm-unknown-riscos/libunixlib

and then "make install"

excellent
Cheers
