Re: [ixp1200] Compiling armtoolchain

Hi David, Moh'd is my student, so I can reply in behalf of him. Actually, unless 3 disk RH9 distribution is missing some package, your suggestion is not valid, as we installed *everything* on the host system, i.e., all packages on all 3 discs. As for the command *before* the failure, the whole package is build by a single make, so we don't know unless we dissect the makefile. You comments are still appreciated. Thanks, Rasit According to David Mentre:

I've downloaded the necessary tar files in the download directory and performed instruction as said in the README file. The completiion of "make" ends with these errors:

makeinfo: Removing output file `/root/ixp1200_linux/src/glibc-2.1.3/manual/libc.info' due to errors; use --force to preserve. make[3]: *** [libc.info] Error 2 make[3]: Leaving directory `/root/ixp1200_linux/src/glibc-2.1.3/manual' make[2]: *** [manual/subdir_install] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/ixp1200_linux/src/glibc-2.1.3' make[1]: *** [install] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/ixp1200_linux/build/glibc-2.1.3' make: *** [glibc] Error 2

Your are not giving us enough information. You should give us the error messages from the command executed before make aborts the compilation.

As a rule of thumb, always give the last command executed by make.

Anyway, I would say that your compilation fails to produce documentation, probably because you don't have a needed package (info probably).
