# 08:01:26 meyrntc hi y_morin; is there a reason for gmp not to being compiled for CT_TARGET and installed into the CT_PREFIX_DIR directory?
# 08:02:18 y_morin meyrntc: hey! Crosstool-NG only builds what is absolutely required to build a toolchain.
# 08:02:42 y_morin meyrntc: GMP on the target is not required for the toolchain, so is not built.
# 08:02:51 y_morin Ditto MPC, MPFR, PPL...
# 08:03:37 meyrntc ok; what about makeing it optional? :)
# 08:04:42 y_morin meyrntc: Crosstool-NG is only about building the toolchain, so it's not in the scope.
# 08:17:03 y_morin meyrntc: Thinking back, if there is a hard-requirement that the _same_ version of those libs are needed on the target for compatibility reasons, then we can add them.
# 08:17:29 y_morin meyrntc: For example, that's the reason why we build the binutils libs for the target, because they are needed by oprofile, and must be the exact same ones as present in the toolchain.
# 08:17:54 y_morin meyrntc: but I doubt this is the case for the companion libraries...
# 08:24:34 meyrntc Cannot say, if it's really needed. We just need the gmp libs for our different cross-compilations, so I extended the script to build and install for the target, too. Other thing: when restarting the build, the gcc.sh tries to make a symbolic link the the compiler (ln -sv ...), which fails. Perhaps, it should remove an existing link beforehand?
# 08:28:48 meyrntc And a third thing: Perhaps crosstool-ng could silently ignore, if the CT_PREFIX_DIR itself cannot be removed (in case where it is the top level writable directory for the installing user), when the CT_RM_RF_PREFIX_DIR is set.
# 08:31:23 kos_tom y_morin, oh, oprofile needs the same binutils on the target as the one in the cross-toolchain ?
# 08:41:02 y_morin kos_tom: I don't recall exactly why, but that was the reason why it was added into crosstool-NG.
# 08:41:40 y_morin kos_tom: hard to tell, it was a looong time ago, and the history at the time got lost...
# 08:42:40 y_morin meyrntc: I see what you mean: CT_PREFIX_DIR is writable, but not the parent, so we can't remove CT_PREFIX_DIR, while we can remove its content.
# 08:43:23 y_morin meyrntc: in this case, we should not even try to remoce CT_PREFIX_DIR, but only its content. That would solve both cases, right?
# 08:44:13 y_morin kos_tom: OK I see why you're interested in that! ;-)
