4. Known Issues

There are some issues when using scratchbox-toolchain-i686-glibc toolchain and 0.9.8 i386 rootstraps because sb_gcc_wrapper sees that i686 toolchain does not provide i386-linux-* compiler tools. This happens when building some Debian packages (for example GTK+) . To avoid these problems you can do following steps:

• export CC=gcc

• export CXX=g++

• export AR=ar

• export RANLIB=ranlib

After these GTK+ compilation should work.
