When I run this command i have this error:

I followed this guide, step 6: Cross-compilation with portage

Please ask upstream (means #gentoo-embedded, forums.gentoo.org or bugs.gentoo.org) as this is not a bug of the overlay. However, you could try to execute e.g.

crossdev --kernel 2.8.28-r1 --binutils 2.18-r4 --gcc 4.3.2-r3 --libc 2.7-r2 --target armv4tl-softfloat-linux-gnueabi

OR

crossdev --kernel 2.8.28-r1 --binutils 2.19.1-r1 --gcc 4.3.3-r1 --libc 2.8_p20080602-r1 --target armv4tl-softfloat-linux-gnueabi

This config works for me

[zelegolas]

I tried both same error

[zelegolas]

I found a solution (i don't know if it's the best one).

I just execute crossdev without binutils option like this

# crossdev --target armv4tl-softfloat-linux-gnueabi

Now i have another error with libxml2:

I don't know if it's related or not

Did you follow the guide on the wiki? It seems like you didn't install the overlay python version to your host! If this doesn't solve your problem, please open a new ticket!

Yes i follow the guide on the wiki and yes i install the overlay python. Right now i have an other error with gettext and libtool (message "/usr/libexec/gcc/armv4tl-softfloat-linux-gnueabi/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libc.so when searching for -lc"). I continue to investigate this issu before to open a new ticket.

If you want to close this ticket as you wish.
