GCC Cross-compiler on Debian based Linux

Post by DrHaximus »

Hi, I want to be able to use i586-elf-gcc and i586-elf-ld to follow the Barebones tutorial, although the repository link on the tutorial here..

http://wiki.osdev.org/GCC_Cross-Compile ... bian_Linux

is missing, and returns an error page.
I've tried this page...

http://wiki.osdev.org/GCC_Cross-Compiler

but binutils seems to return a few errors when configuring. No problems with permissions etc, just some files won't configure correctly.

Any ideas?

What are the errors you get when configuring binutils? And which versions of binutils and GCC are you trying to compile?

Hi, just build a cross-compiler yourself rather than relying on a prebuilt one. You are likely doing something wrong when building your cross-binutils, please post the actual compilation log as my psychic powers are in for a repair.
