Hi

I have not seen anything like this before, so I cannot really help you with the problem. You should however be aware the in this case Crash is built as a 32-bit executable and must be built in that way to work properly. So you should look for missing 32-bit libraries.

Hi all!
I am trying to compile crash-7.0.7  on x86_64 host  for arm.
(x86 binary to analyze ARM dumpfiles)
Here's the failure information:

-bash-4.1$ make target=arm
TARGET: ARM
 CRASH: 7.0.7
   GDB: 7.6
...

make[2]: *** [all] Error 2

crash build failed

make[1]: *** [gdb_merge] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

I thought the reason for  above error  message was due to lack of  termcap library. However, the termcap library could be found on my host machine:

-bash-4.1$ find . -name "*termcap*"
./libtermcap.so.2
./libtermcap.so.2.0.8
-bash-4.1$ pwd
/lib64
-bash-4.1$ uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Sep 3
07:34:44 EDT 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

After I copyed x86_64 libtermcap.a into /lib64 ,the error message still exist.

I am confused if crash should be cross compiled in this situation?
Or is there any step I  should take before compile crash?


Many  thanks !
