[Scratchbox-devel] cs2005q3.2-glibc toolchain rebuilding

[Eugene San]

Hi Jussi,


What i am trying to do is rebuilt official cs2005q3.2-glibc provided in 
scratchbox repository but with my patch applied to GCC compiler.

My problem is, that i do not know how was above mentioned toolchain built.

My guess was that it was built by makefiles provided at DARCS repository 
and sources tarballs provided on download section of scratchbox.org.

After several attempt to build toolchain using instructions available 
here: http://www.scratchbox.org/wiki/Toolchains i found that several 
files referred by makefiles doesn't exists at  scratchbox.org. Also I 
found that makefiles does not include changes reported in latest 
versions, like update version of GDB an/or libtool, if i remember correct.


 From all described above i am concluding that cs2005q3.2-glibc 
toolchain was not built from source by makefiles available on DARCS 
repository or the maintainer forgot to update those files for some time.


What I want to know is:

a) How exactly was cs2005q3.2-glibc toolchaiin built?

b) If it was built using "from source" method, i need updated makefiles 
and tarballs of patches and sources.

c) If it was built using "foreign" method, do makefiles in DARCS 
represents picture of latest buid of toolchain?

    Also i believe that maintainer of toolchain used "modified" version 
of  CodeSourcery toolchain, as foreign basis, and probably rebuilt it 
from sources using set of custom patches.

    Can he, please, share those patches and the process of building with us?

d) Also I would like to know how exactly were built , using "foreign" 
method, deb-packages provided in toolchain for target?
