I do sometimes set things like NO_PROFILE, but that is only to speed things up. It will build the crosstools by itself as needed. You only need a checked out /usr/src tree. The box(es) I run this on are i386 boxes. Just to check, I started the buildworld line (the first one) on my home box, which is running 7-stable from Aug 17, and it fired up without a problem... It will take a while to finish though, but I do not forsee a problem. I'll send you an email if it does not finish. > I am using currently 7.0 release p2 and i cannot pass the error with > cross build (keeps telling me to set TARGET_ARCH but it is already set > by me as a command-line option of the make) I mostly do this on 7-stable, sorry I rarely run releases and never pX releases. I also often do it on current and it has been a while since I have done it on 6-stable. Thinking about it, maybe you should remove all your env settings, and then try just that buildworld line of mine. If that does not work, clean out your /usr/obj and usr/src directories and get a new copy of /usr/src and try again. If it then still do not work, show us the error message. > On Mon, 2008-08-18 at 14:49 +0200, John Hay wrote: > > > On Mon, Aug 18, 2008 at 11:42:26AM +0300, Stavros Markou wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > > > I am trying to build a root filesystem using the mini guide at > > > http://people.freebsd.org/~cognet/freebsd_arm.txt but with no luck for > > > IXP425.
