porting of binutils

hello

i’m trying to get binutils to compile so that i can compile python.

i’m trying to compile python and it looks like python needs ar to complete
the compilation process. ar seems to be a utility contained within the
binutils.

can anyone give me any hints on compiling binutils or point me in the
direction of where I could get a precompiled set of binutils?

thanks

andrew

Why are you trying to compile binutils when we supply it as a
package already?

hi colin,

i’ve had a good look in the package system but i can’t see “binutils”.

Perhaps it is listed as Neutrino/Utilities (Gnu)?

Anyway, it’s the “ar” utility that I’m after specifically, which doesn;t
seem to be on my system.

Sorry if I’m missing the obvious here. I’m rather a novice with Unix like
systems.

Cheers

Andrew
