<p class=MsoNormal>I’m not actually working with an LFS system, so I have
no idea if anybody on this list is willing to offer any help. I’m hoping
someone might offer some general troubleshooting tips; if not, sorry to waste
your time.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’m trying to cross-compile a library that uses GNU
Autotools (Google Coredumper, to be specific) for PPC using the MontaVista tool
chain. Normally, issuing “make” causes a .libs/ directory to be
generating containing .a, .o, and .so files (and variants thereof). When I
cross-compile for PPC, the directory is created and populated with a .a file,
but no .so files. I can see .o and .lo files being generated, so the code *<b>is</b>*
getting compiled, but the linking stage gets skipped. When I review the make
output, there are no error messages or warnings—the commands related to
the .so files are simply missing.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>*<b>Summary</b>*: When I try to cross-compile, make mysteriously
and silently skips one or more parts of the build. (If I build for the same
architecture, it works fine.)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’ve tried diff-ing the Makefiles generated by
./configure for the different architectures, and they look the same (other than
the paths to the compiler executables being different). I’ve also tried
grepping the Makefiles for the relevant commands that I see in the output; I
get no matches in either Makefile, so Autotools is doing <b>something</b>
arcane here.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>At this point, what else can I try doing to debug this?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks for any help,<o:p></o:p></p>
