[systemd-devel] Compiling systemd-207 for Mips

[praveenkumar jakati]

Hi,

I hope I posting my questions in the right forum. Please let me know if I
am not.

I am new to systemd and I am trying to cross-compile the systemd-207 for
the mips32 but I am facing below issues. Please help me to resolve the
compilation issues.

When I have compiled for x86 machine in fedora 16, I am able to compile the
systemd-207.


Downloaded code from http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/ version
207 and set the following environment variable to point to cross compiler.

export
PATH=$PATH:/export/home/subhasp1/code/TCR_Head/.buildbox/opt/stbgcc-4.5.3-2.4/bin/
export AR=mipsel-linux-ar
export CPP=mipsel-linux-cpp
export CC=mipsel-linux-gcc
export LD=mipsel-linux-ld


I am trying to configure as below .

 ./configure  --disable-tcpwrap   --disable-pam   --disable-audit
--disable-selinux  --disable-xz   --disable-acl   --disable-libcryptsetup
 --host=mips32 --build=x86

configure: error: --enable-static is not supported by systemd

I have tried to delete the below check in configure file to check how far I
can go

if test "x$enable_static" = "xyes"; then :
  as_fn_error $? "--enable-static is not supported by systemd" "$LINENO" 5
fi

It is continued to configure but stuck at below error.
