[parisc-linux] Beta CD

[=?iso-8859-1?Q?SOETE_Jo=EBl?=]

Hello Paul,

I use your CD image (palinux-0.5.iso) first as a base to trying to use PDC
console on a C110 model.

As it finally does not work yet, I install your CD as it is with supplied
Debian packages.

"debhelper" complaint at configure phase because of "file" package
dependencies.

Ok, I download sources of last release from Debian server and try to rebuild
this package.

It fails and in the log of configure: /usr/bin/ld: cannot open crt1.o: no
such a file or directory.

It remembers me an old problem
(http://puffin.external.hp.com/mailing-lists/parisc-linux/2000/08-Aug/0202.h
tml).
(I not sure that it exists a link between problems but the coincidence is
strange) [I do not actually try to find the solution because it was largely
recommended to work with a i386 linux and I had this opportunity some time
after]

I suspect that you already met the problem and may be have you the solution
or a good work around.

Do I have to used another release of gcc (under 
ftp://puffin.external.hp.com/pub/parisc/binaries/userspace I found other gcc
and binutils binaries. But is it for palinux?)?

Another way should be to use the cross-compiler on a i386 linux box (as it
seems enough stable). But if I well found the way to build native .deb
packages (http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/packaging.html/), I do
not find here the way for "cross-pacakging"?

Thanks in advance for help,
	Joel
