Problem with cross-compilation. Target: utilite

[Theodotos Andreou]

Hi all,

I am trying to build geexbox for utilite. My build station is Ubuntu 15.04, 64 bit. I am using the config file found in the utilite tarball.

At first I was getting errors like that is could find "colophon" and "cygnus" programs in the files 'bfd.texinfo' and 'ld.texinfo'. I fixed this by replacing all occurrences of @colophon and  @cygnus with @@colophon and @@cygnus.

But now I am stuck again.

Can you have a look at the errors and give me some guidance?

Hello

After a quick look :
you try to compile binutils-2.22.51.0.1
but our version is 2.25
https://github.com/OpenBricks/openbricks/blob/master/packages/misc/binutils/meta

please, be sure you are using openbricks ' git repo located here :
https://github.com/OpenBricks/openbricks, clone it,
then use master branch to build xbmc or devel for kodi
you have already defconfig files ready for that
master branch :
./scripts/loadcfg geexbox-xbmc-imx6-utilite
make

devel branch :
git checkout devel
./scripts/loadcfg geexbox-kodi-imx6-utilite
make

note that devel branch should be merged in master branch soon.

Cheers !

Tom

Thanks for the guidance, Tom. After endless hours of compiling everything, it now works fine.

One more question. Will it make any significant difference in performance, if I choose "speed" instead of "normal" in the optimization options?

good question !
To be honest, I didn't test it since ages.
It should work and increase a little speed but some packages won't be
(maybe) built correctly.
Now, you can try, but you have to rebuild everything from scratch.

make quickclean
make xconfig
change what you want
make

Cheers !
