toolchains that support the <i>sysroot</i> feature should
|
|
|
work. If not, do not hesitate to contact the developers.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
+ <p>We do not support toolchains from
|
|
|
+ the <a href="http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK">ELDK of Denx</a>,
|
|
|
+ for two reasons:</p>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <ul>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <li>The ELDK does not contain a pure toolchain (i.e just the
|
|
|
+ compiler, binutils, the C and C++ libraries), but a toolchain
|
|
|
+ that comes with a very large set of pre-compiled libraries and
|
|
|
+ programs. Therefore, Buildroot cannot import the <i>sysroot</i>
|
|
|
+ of the toolchain, as it would contain hundreds of megabytes of
|
|
|
+ pre-compiled libraries that are normally built by
|
|
|
+ Buildroot.</li>
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <li>The ELDK toolchains have a completely non-standard custom
|
|
|
+ mechanism to handle multiple library variants. Instead of using
|
|
|
+ the standard GCC <i>multilib</i> mechanism, the ARM ELDK uses
|
|
|
+ different symbolic links to the compiler to differentiate
|
|
|
+ between library variants (for ARM soft-float and ARM VFP), and
|
|
|
+ the PowerPC ELDK compiler uses a <code>CROSS_COMPILE</code>
|
|
|
+ environment variable. This non-standard behaviour makes it
|
|
|
+ difficult to support ELDK in Buildroot.</li>
