[TrouSerS-users] Building trousers for openmoko

[Amruta G. <am...@cs...>]

Hi,

I am trying to build libtspi library for a different architecture, 
namely, openmoko (the software
stack that runs on Neo Free-runner). I decided to build the whole 
trousers package for this architecture,
since I could not find a way to build "libtspi" library alone.
I ran the configure script as:
<command>
$./configure --host=arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi 
--prefix=/usr/local/openmoko/arm/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/usr
--enable-static
$make
</command>

(Please note that I specified --enable-static, since I wanted to have 
the all library files produced again for the specified
architecture.)

However, "make" command gives the following error:
<error>
/usr/local/openmoko/arm/lib/gcc/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/4.1.2/../../../../arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/bin/ld: 

../trspi/.libs/libtrousers.a(libtrousers_la-trousers.o): Relocations in 
generic ELF (EM: 3)
../trspi/.libs/libtrousers.a(libtrousers_la-trousers.o): could not read 
symbols: File in wrong format
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
</error>

It is evident from this error that the archive file libtrousers.a was 
not generated for the given armstrong architecture.

Hoping that the "make" will re-generate this file, I removed this file, 
and tried to run {configure, make}.
But it could not regenerate this file and gave error:
<error>
arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-gcc: ../trspi/.libs/libtrousers.a: No such 
file or directory
make[2]: *** [libtspi.la] Error 1
</error>

Thus, I can't use the existing file since it is in wrong format, but I 
don't know how to re-produce the file for the
specified architecture.
Is there any way out here? How can I tell "configure" to re-produce the 
archive file libtrousers.a?

I will appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance,
Amruta
