This port was renamed to i686-linux-glibc and, along with amd64-linux-glibc,
bootstrapped and uploaded on 2014-03-19.
The rest of this page is kept only for reference and historical purposes.
Following is the planned procedure to bootstrap the i686-linux-eglibc port from a core-linux-eglibc system.
This procedure assumes that all base system and build essential packages are installed, along with libgmp-dev, libmpfr-dev, and libmpc-dev.
These steps are overly simplified and useful only as a reference.
1. Build a Compiler That Can Build Headers
Natively build Binutils with the following architecture specifications:
- Build arch: core-linux-eglibc
- Host-arch: core-linux-eglibc
- Target arch: i686-linux-eglibc
Natively build GCC without building shared libraries and without linking against libc with the following architecture specifications:
- Build arch: core-linux-eglibc
- Host-arch: core-linux-eglibc
- Target arch: i686-linux-eglibc
2. Build Headers
Cross build Linux headers with the following architecture specifications:
- Build arch: core-linux-eglibc
- Host-arch: i686-linux-eglibc
Cross build EGLIBC headers with the following architecture specifications:
- Build arch: core-linux-eglibc
- Host-arch: i686-linux-eglibc
3. Build a Compiler That Can Build a C Library
Natively build GCC without building shared libraries with the following architecture specifications:
- Build arch: core-linux-eglibc
- Host-arch: core-linux-eglibc
- Target arch: i686-linux-eglibc
4. Build a C Library
Cross build EGLIBC with the following architecture specifications:
- Build arch: core-linux-eglibc
- Host-arch: i686-linux-eglibc
5. Build a Final Compiler
Natively build GCC with the following architecture specifications:
- Build arch: core-linux-eglibc
- Host-arch: core-linux-eglibc
- Target arch: i686-linux-eglibc
6. Build Everything for the Target
Using the new cross toolchain, cross build all packages for i686-linux-eglibc.
