binutils fails for AVR32

binutils fails for AVR32

I managed to complete the AT91SAM9263 build, but
now I am caught in the configure hell when trying the AVR32.


I first got stuck in the binutils build since CC is defined as
"'CC=ccache" in the binutils Makefile, and this should be
"'CC=ccache gcc'"

(<OpenEmbedded>/build-avr32/tmp/work/avr32-angstrom-linux-uclibc/ \
binutils-cross-2.17-r6/binutils-2.17/ \
build.i686-linux.avr32-angstrom-linux-uclibc/Makefile)

The failure means that the initial quote character is dangling free.

I tried to check binutils "configure" where this is defined
but came to the conclusion that this was part of "$ac_arg"
and have not managed to dig any further.


Managed to fix that by patching binutils-avr32.inc
Added:

(cd ${B} && sed -i -e "s,'CC=ccache,'CC=ccache gcc'," Makefile)

to "do_avr32_configure_bfd" but then when making "intl", there
is a complaint that both the build and host is i686-linux.

| Configuring in ./intl
| configure: warning: build_alias=i686-linux: invalid host type
| configure: warning: host_alias=i686-linux: invalid host type

| make: *** [all] Error 2
| FATAL: oe_runmake failed

These problems seems to be caused by build_alias, host_alias and
target_alias beeing passed to "configure", but these are only
supported by binutils-2.18 and not 2.17 which is used by the AVR32.

I am adding
~ (cd ${B} && sed -i -e "s,'host_alias=i686-linux',," Makefile)
~ (cd ${B} && sed -i -e "s,'build_alias=i686-linux',," Makefile)
~ (cd ${B} && sed -i -e "s,'target_alias=avr32-angstrom-linux-uclibc',,"
Makefile)

to the do_avr32_configure_bfd

host_alias etc. should not be generated in the first place for
binutils-2.17...

Anyone got the AVR32 toolchain to build properly using a recent version?

Actually this refers to "./intl/configure".

Yes, I am building a AVR32 project using
478afd231213fcf731ddefac0314beee5d95b5fb which works fine for me.

I upgrade every now and then. Will see about more recent revisions of OE.

Hi,
got an ngw100 and wanted to build angstrom for it and have the same
issues as Ulf with binutils-cross.

Can you try with a current one?

If you work around that you'll notice that gcc-cross doesn't compile 
anymore :( I'm hoping to spend some time on it next week, but don't let 
that stop you from fixing it yourself :)

Oh no. :$

I just prepared a patch that takes Ulf's approach and implements it
indepedent from $BUILD_SYS. I attached the patch but when you say this
will break gcc-cross it is probably moot.

>, but don't let that stop you from fixing it yourself :)
This is my first encounter with AVR32. :)

I just looked at the Makefile that is generated for binutils 2.18.50.0.7
 (machine = beagleboard). The *_CONFIGARGS variables do not contain
stuff like host_alias and CC there. I suspect that due to some weird
script problem (perhaps quoting?) things end up in the *_CONFIGARGS
variables that should not be there. The three variables are supposed to
contain the arguments given to the initial 'configure' but in the
avr32's case they contain environment variables.

As Ulf already told it all leads to ac_configure_args (or ac_arg). The
shell code that generates it is different for our binutils (avr32) 2.17
and 2.18.50.0.7. The former is created by autoconf 2.61 (AFAIU it is
re-generated after the avr32 patch is applied), while the latter is
created by 2.61.

While writing this my build has failed at gcc-cross. The compiler
crashes while compiling the Objective C library. As a workaround I
disabled it and now it works. So many bugs ... :|

Regards
Robert

Did you add this as prepend to this stage ? in which bb file did you add
it ?
Did the whole toolchain work out for you now ?

It seems your metadata is obsolete, avr32 builds have 'just worked' for 
a few months now thanks to several companies funding OE avr32 work.

A sample of what angstrom can do now:

wow thats cool !
btw .. i just managed to build avr32 again with the current meta`s by
just removing the binutils-avr32.inc !!  It went on and finished
minimal-image !
And that on a x86_64 host !  What a joy

Hail you, Koen and the others .. feels like i can now relay on the oe
chain again and start building up more products on this nice cpu

Cheers Rob
