Using GCC on TC 2.3.1 to build an X11 app?
« on: October 02, 2009, 12:02:30 AM »
I've got a very simple X11 app which, when built on other systems, won't always run on TC.

I'd like to be able to install a minimal set of extensions to allow me to build this app on TC 2.3.1. To this end, I have installed TC on a USB stick and
have added several extensions. I have installed gcc 4 as of today
but find that gas did not come with it.

So, first question, is it unrealistic to want to build an X11 app "native" on TC? Should I always plan to cross-build?

Second, which extension contains gas? I have searched the TCE and TCZ but don't see it.

Thanks for this wonderful effort.

Ron

To compile on tc, you need to install the compiletc "meta extension" (or its component parts). Then to compile an X app, you'll no doubt need the Xorg-7.4-dev extension for the various headers, etc.
