Re: develop hurd on virtual machine

[Thomas Schwinge]

Hello!

First thing: do you have a permanent internet connection?  If yes, then
the most easy thing to do is that we'll create an account for you on a
publically accessible Hurd system,
<http://hurd.gnufans.org/bin/view/Hurd/PublicHurdBoxen>.  Just tell me
(or the others listed on that page) if you want such an account.

Why do you want to build a cross compiler?  Do you want to compile your
vfat translator on a non-Hurd system and then copy it to your Hurd
system?  As you have noticed, creating a functioning cross compiler isn't
really easy, given -- for example -- the state of the upstream glibc with
respect to its Hurd parts.  It's much easier to directly build software
on a Hurd system.  (Of course it is possible to do all this with a cross
compiler, but, as I said, it's more difficult.)

I'll pick up this report and add appropriate calls to `autoreconf' to the
`cross-gnu' script.  (Not right now, though.)

Did you read through the `cross-gnu' script?  It contains the following,
which I think is the solution to your above problem:

#v+
#   If you use a GNU Make version newer than 3.80, you also need to apply the
#   following patch to glibc-2_3-branch:
#   <http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2507#c2>.
#v-
