3.4.3 Toolchain builds

Andrew,

On the other part I just wrote the high level instruction you know what to do.

--Vinnie

1. check out compiler TOT from t3:/cvs/gcc-cvs

# cvs co -P toolchain

2. Apply tag DEV_LOS178_3p0p0_ppc_20050609

To the toolchain?!?

3. check out los178 & check out bin-image (TOT)

# cvs co -P bin-image
# cvs co -P los178

OK.

4. Apply tag DEV....... you know what this is

I assume you mean to los178... (bin-image?)

5. extract linux cdk (98r2) into the los178 build tree

t3:/export/dev_archive/los178/2p0p0/20050228/solaris/media/ppc/1033-00.cdklinux.tar.gz

OK

6. extract sys/miscgcc from bin-image/ppc.cdksol.tar.gz into los178 build tree

# gnutar zxpf bin-image/ppc.cdksol.tar.gz sys/miscgcc

This is needed since kernel is still xcoff. Once kernel is elf you will need elf miscgcc object files.

OK.

7. In the los178 build tree source SETUP.bash

OK.

8. Change to the toolchain directory & do whatever setup is needed and build the compiler

OK. Damn it worked! (RH 9.0 - still waiting for RH 8.0...)

9. package the toolchain & extract into the los178 build tree

OK

10. build the los178

Experienced problems. First problem is that cdk/linux-elf-ppc lacked a bin directory, therefore $ENV_PREFIX/cdk/linux-elf-ppc/bin/make did not exist. Looking at linux-xcoff-ppc/bin I see that some files are simply symlinks to ../usr/bin/ and others are actual files. Using the file(1) command I see that the files under linux-xcoff-ppc/bin that are not symlinks are ELF files! Odd.

So recreating (symlinking symlinks and copying files) $ENV_PREFIX/cdk/linux-xcoff-ppc/bin -> $ENV_PREFIX/cdk/linux-elf-ppc/bin and attempting the build yielded errors. Discussing this with Vinnie we performed the following actions:

• Copied cdk/linux-elf-ppc/usr/lib/gcc/powerpc-lynx-lynxos178/3.4.3/libgcc.a -> $ENV_PREFIX/lib
• Created the /usr/los178/2.0.0/ppc_dev/cdk/linux-xcoff-ppc/bin directory and placed a copy of bison.simple from cdk/linux-xcoff-ppc/bin into that directory
• Reperformed the build of LOS178

Now, on Europa - a RH 8.0 machine - I have many errors all stating:

    /build/los178/cdk/linux-xcoff-ppc/bin/ar: /build/los178/sys/lib/libdrivers.a: File format is ambiguous
    /build/los178/cdk/linux-xcoff-ppc/bin/ar: Matching formats: elf32-powerpc elf32-little elf32-big
    make[5]: *** [/build/los178/sys/lib/libdrivers.a(rddrvr.o)] Error 1

The log file is on europa:/build/los178/install.log

Global clean and clobber targets

In order to support global clean and clobber targets on LOS178's top level Makefile the following changes need to be done:

• Add clean and clobber to .PHONY
• Change help target to describe new targets
• Add clean and clobber targets that essentially loop through $(DIRS) and perform make [clean|clobber]

Via cvs diff:
