NAME¶
cross-gcc-gensource - generates sources to build a Debian cross toolchainSYNOPSIS¶
[TARGET_LIST=<arches to target>] [HOST_LIST=<build arches>] [SUFFIX=.1] cross-gcc-gensource <gcc-version> example: /tmp$ TARGET_LIST="armel armhf" HOST_LIST="amd64" cross-gcc-gensource 5 .... lots of verbose output .... /tmp$ cd cross-gcc-packages-amd64/cross-gcc-5-armel /tmp/cross-gcc-packages-amd64/cross-gcc-5-armel$ ls debian /tmp/cross-gcc-packages-amd64/cross-gcc-5-armel$ dpkg-buildpackage .... building cross-toolchain ....
DESCRIPTION¶
This is a utility that prepares a directory with debianized sources which build cross toolchain packages. The sources produced by this tool are very small; the code itself comes from the "gcc-version-source" package and the necessary patches and extra build stuff comes from the "cross-gcc-dev" package.ARGUMENTS¶
Normal usage iscross-gcc-gensource gcc_version
Where "gcc_version" is the base version of the toolchain we're building. At the time of this writing we know about versions 4.9, 5 and 6. This commandline argument is required.
Specifying the target architectures¶
This tool generates a separate source package for each target architecture (the architecture targetted by the cross-compiler being built). By default these architectures are targetted:- arm64
- armel
- armhf
- mips
- mipsel
- powerpc
- ppc64el
If a different set of target architectures is required, set the "TARGET_LIST" environment variable. For instance, to build for "armel" and "armhf":
TARGET_LIST="armel armhf" cross-gcc-gensource 5
Specifying the host architectures¶
Similarly, this tool generates a separate source tree for each host architecture (the architecture the cross-compiler being built runs on). By default these architectures are targetted:- amd64
- i386
If a different set of host architectures is required, set the "HOST_LIST" environment variable. For instance, to build just for "amd64":
HOST_LIST="amd64" cross-gcc-gensource 5
Specifying a verison suffix¶
If you need to upload a new source package when the version of gcc-source built-against hasn't changed, then you need to add a version suffix to avoid binary-version clashes. An optional SUFFIX env var allows this.TARGET_LIST="armel armhf" SUFFIX=.1 cross-gcc-gensource 5
