Re: [Xen-ia64-devel] Open GFW Howto

[Alex Williamson <alex.williamson@xxxxxx>]

Hi Amy,

   I actually went the other way with gcc and explicitly build with
gcc-3.4.  I'm on a Debian Etch build system, here are the specific
versions of additional packages:

binutils-2.17-3
gcc-3.4.6-5
jrockit-R27.3.1-jdk1.5.0_11-linux-ipf
apache-ant-1.6.5
ant-contrib-1.0b2
saxonb8-1-1
xmlbeans-2.1.0

I apply the attached patch to the source tree to configure my
environment and setup a path for gcc.  My ~/vefi-build/bin directory
looks like this:

ar -> /usr/bin/ar
cc -> gcc
cpp -> g++
g++ -> /usr/bin/g++-3.4
gcc -> /usr/bin/gcc-3.4
ld -> /usr/bin/ld

(the ar and ld ones are probably unnecessary, but left over from
experimentation)

It's a tricky environment to get setup correctly.  Thanks,

        Alex
