ARM EABI SDK build

ARM EABI SDK build

[Nils Faerber]

Hello!
I am terribly sorry but now you got me on your track too ;)

As first task I wanted to build an ARM EABI softfloat toolchain using
current OE. So I created a machine config for a PXA270 machine using
Angstrom as dist and created my own smaller version of meta-sdk in order
not to build X11, GTK, OPIE and GPE (for now).

The first problem I stepped over is that gcc4-build-sdk.inc still has
the line

SRC_URI += 'file://602-sdk-libstdc++-includes.patch;patch=1'

or in fact without the 602- prefix. But this patch is already included
in the gcc_4.1.1.bb. So I commented that out.

Now the build continued a bit further but fails at gcc-cross-sdk-4.1.1-r0:

|
/home/nils/work/oe/colli-sdk/tmp/work/i686-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/gcc-cross-sdk-4.1.1-r0/gcc-4.1.1/libiberty/getpwd.c:
In function ‘getpwd’:

error: storage size of ‘dotstat’ isn’t known

/home/nils/work/oe/colli-sdk/tmp/work/i686-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/gcc-cross-sdk-4.1.1-r0/gcc-4.1.1/libiberty/getpwd.c:75:
error: storage size of ‘pwdstat’ isn’t known


Which I do not understand at all.

Does anyone have an idea what might causing this?
Or even better, does anyone have a working config for an ARM EABI
softfloat toolchain (SDK) target?

Thanks!

Cheers

PS: Apart from that minor problem OE has become a lot better during that
last 3/4 of an year when I last looked at it ;)

this seems to be fixed now, i get a different message:

NOTE: Applying patch '300-libstdc++-pic.patch'
ERROR: Error in executing:

Sounds like a broken patch to me.
I use bitbake 1.6.2 and the up to date stuff from org.openembedded.dev
(9c4dc2162967f7102e29135dc8da502dd80d01ac).

The full error message is attached...

I suggest updating metadata:

Revision: fa302963f7d41e6cdf3efbde3458b3731e8ec5ae
Ancestor: 3d7e2cab9dc312dae9852afc664f3bbdb5d4c9e9
Author: xora@openembedded.org
Date: 2006-11-09T10:37:33

Added files:
        packages/file/file-native_4.18.bb packages/file/file_4.18.bb
        packages/file/files/dump packages/file/files/filesystems

ChangeLog:

file, file-native 4.18 : replaced the magic files for filesystems and dump
for the ones for 4.16. The stuff that doesnt compile in 4.18 is new so it
looks like a lack of QA on part of this release that they dont work.

OK, that was indeed fixed.
But I still have the problem that gcc-cross-sdk-4.1.1 fails to compile
due to problems with sys/types.h
This is really strange since this originates from glibc.

Koen: Didn't you build an EABI-softfloat toolchain already?

Hmm... the hpowto does not help much since it does not mention which
distribution he used or how his local.conf looked like...

Most likely his local.conf was:

BBFILES = "/somepath/*/*.bb"

DISTRO="angstrom-2007.1"
MACHINE="qemu-arm"

MACHINE = "qemuarm" ;-)

OK... well we tried both approaches now, the simpler one you mentioned
on the list and our own - both failed at the same gcc-sdk compile in
libiberty (see my previous log).

I now investigated this a little further..

First of all I think that gcc4-build-sdk.inc has an error. I think that
line 3

  SRC_URI += 'file://602-sdk-libstdc++-includes.patch;patch=1'

is not needed (anymore) and rather causes do_patch to fail.
After fixing that I get to the old point with libiberty, etc...

Then I tried to build gcc-cross target and see: It works!

So I suspect that there is some problem with the gcc-cross-sdk target.
But I am too new to OE to be able to fix that, I fear.

So a big please to the maintainer of that target: Could you help me
please? I need that compiler ;)

Many thanks!

Oh ... and please have someone review the above gcc4-build-sdk.inc and
potentially remove the SRC_URI line...

Re: ARM EABI SDK build

Hi!
I am made one step forward but do not think that it is the right way to
do it...
The task-sdk worked to build though meta-sdk still does not. Copying the
toolchain out of tmp/cross/ and adding libs from staging seems to work.

But it seems "unclean" to me and involves manual collection of all the
bits and pieces.

Still noone knows why meta-sdk fails?

Cheers
