Using crosstool-NG on Windows |
|
||||||
|
------------------------------+

Prerequisites and instructions for using crosstool-NG for building a cross
|
||||||
|
toolchain on Windows (Cygwin) as build and, optionally Windows (hereafter)
|
||||||
|
MinGW-w64 as host.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
0. Use Cygwin64 if you can. DLL base-address problems are lessened that
|
||||||
|
way and if you bought a 64-bit CPU, you may as well use it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. You must enable Case Sensitivity in the Windows Kernel (this is only really
|
||||||
|
necessary for Linux targets, but at present, crosstool-ng refuses to operate
|
||||||
|
on case insensitive filesystems). The registry key for this is:
|
||||||
|
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\kernel\obcaseinsensitive
|
||||||

2. Using setup{,-x86_64}.exe, install the default packages and also the
|
||||||
|
following ones: (tested versions in brackets, please test newer versions
|
||||||
|
and report successes via pull requests changing this list and failures to:
|
||||||
|
https://github.com/crosstool-ng/crosstool-ng/issues
|
||||||
|
autoconf (13-1), make (4.1-1), gcc-g++ (4.9.3-1), gperf (3.0.4-2),
|
||||||
|
bison (3.0.4-1), flex (2.5.39-1), texinfo (6.0-1), wget (1.16.3-1),
|
||||||
|
patch (2.7.4-1), libtool (2.4.6-2), automake (9-1), diffutils (3.3-3),
|
||||||
|
libncurses-devel (6.0-1.20151017), help2man (1.44.1-1)
|
||||||
|
mingw64-i686-gcc-g++* (4.9.2-2), mingw64-x86_64-gcc-g++* (4.9.2-2)
|
||||||
|
Leave "Select required packages (RECOMMENDED)" ticked.
|
||||||
|
Notes:
|
||||||
|
2.1 The packages marked with * are only needed if your host is MinGW-w64.
|
||||||
|
2.2 Unfortunately, wget pulls in an awful lot of dependencies, including
|
||||||
|
Python 2.7, Ruby, glib and Tcl.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3. Although nativestrict symlinks seem like the best idea, extracting glibc fails
|
||||||
|
when they are enabled, so just don't set anything here. If your host is MinGW-w64
|
||||||
|
then these 'Cygwin-special' symlinks won't work, but you can dereference them by
|
||||||
|
using tar options --dereference and --hard-dereference when making a final tarball.
|
||||||
|
I plan to investigate and fix or at least work around the extraction problem.

4. collect2.exe will attempt to run ld which is a shell script that runs either
|
||||||
|
ld.exe or gold.exe so you need to make sure that a working shell is in your path.
|
||||||
|
Eventually I will replace this with a native program for MinGW-w64 host.
