Hi Bernhard,

Per your request, now attached the patch cygwin-3a.svndiff as an svn 
diff to the current trunk.

Thanks

Well, that one applies cleanly, thanks, but you do not use the
corrected extensions at all?

How does that help with building a useable rootfs? Just curious..

This patch is only the first step. It got me past gmp and mpfr. This has 
been good enough to build a cygwin toolchain with a host gdb, which in 
turn has been used to compile, debug and run a kernel :).
Maybe this is also good enough for a first check-in, is it?

I see that more work is ahead of me before I can build the rootfs, and 
it would be good if I can verify my understanding of what needs to be 
done, using mpfr as an example:
-I need to change package/mpfr/mpfr.mk (hardcoded extensions, maybe 
strip cmd).

-This package/mpfr folder is the only place where I can make changes; 
anything else about the mpfr module just downloaded / configured code, 
right?

Ah, ok.

yes, it went in as r18723. Thanks.

[Buildroot] ALSA for build root

[Rod Boyce]

All,

I have been adding ALSA to the build root package system I am only able 
to test on a x86 platform.  Is anybody else interested in ALSA for 
build-root?  I have also been adding libogg and libvorbis would it be OK 
if I submitted a combined patch or would you prefer 2 separate patches?  
Is anybody else working on this who would like an advanced copy to test 
out and or compare against?

This would include the following packages:
alsa-lib-1.0.14rc4
alsa-utils-1.0.14rc4
libogg-1.1.3
libvorbis-1.1.2


Regards,
Rod Boyce

[Buildroot] Package selection question

[Tom]

Hello,

I just want to build the toolchain and the debugger on host: cygwin, 
target: arm.

So, even after I unchecked busybox and all packages, it still builds gmp 
(and, unsuccessfully, mpfr). Why does it need it please and why is this 
an option then? Or am I doing something wrong here?

Thanks
Tom

gcc uses gmp/mpfr, you're doing nothing wrong. Please report build
failures of gmp/mpfr to the respective lists.

Before you report it to the mpfr folks, please paste the error here,
since i suspect that it could have to do something with the
binary/library name extensions, which (IIRC) we currently do not handle
at all (there's a bug somewhere about this, if memory serves me right).

Yes, you can.

Depending on the target, set
ifneq $($(findstring linux,$(BR2_GNU_BUILD_SUFFIX)),)
EXEEXT:=
LIBEXT:=.a
SHREXT:=.so
endif
ifneq $($(findstring apple,$(BR2_GNU_BUILD_SUFFIX)),)
EXEEXT:=.pear
LIBEXT:=.dunno
SHREXT:=.dylib
endif
ifneq $($(findstring cygwin,$(BR2_GNU_BUILD_SUFFIX)),)
EXEEXT:=.exe
LIBEXT:=.dunno
SHREXT:=.dll
endif
ifneq $($(findstring mingw,$(BR2_GNU_BUILD_SUFFIX)),)
EXEEXT:=.exe
LIBEXT:=.dunno
SHREXT:=.dll
endif

in the toplevel Makefile, before the
all: world
target, and use them accordingly.


While you're at it, it would be awesome if you could deal with this too:
We want to be able to select which flavour of lib is built (shared or
static) with a single config-option.
So, instead of changing all ".so" blindly to $(SHREXT), change it to
$(LIBTGTEXT) which is set either to

ifeq $($(BR2_DEFAULT_LIB_TARGET),shared)
LIBTGTEXT=$(SHREXT)
else
LIBTGTEXT=$(LIBEXT)
endif

below the newly added block i mentioned above.

TIA and cheers,

[Buildroot] mpfr error on cygwin for arm

[Tom]

Hi Bernhard, All

Enclosed is cygwin-1.patch for buildroot-20050524.tar.bz2.

- requires cygwin 1.5.24 with development package

- configure buildroot for arm, arm-generic, eabi, "pc-cygwin", 
uclibc-0.9.29, buildroot toolchain with gcc 4.1.2

- FIRST do one build attempt (will fail, just to get and extract uclibc)

- apply cygwin-1.patch with p1 (it is at very bottom of this email)

- THEN do another build attempt, which will build
   gmp, mpfr, newlib and arm-linux-uclibcgnueabi-gcc-4.1.2.exe
   before failing (*).

Thanks
Tom

PS: if someone could take care of the apple part, that would be great. 
Also, the one fix belongs to uclibc and not to buildroot...


(*) it fails when cross compiling uclibc, maybe my UCLIBC options? Hints 
appreciated, need this to test on target.

True. The non-.exe case should be empty, sorry.

It seems there is an issue with the sequence. (Just moving this -lintl 
before the $($@-objs) caused it to fail.)

[Buildroot] mpfr error on cygwin for arm

[Tom]

Hi Bernhard,

Below is cygwin-2.patch, which takes your recommendations into account, 
proceedings for cygwin-1.patch still apply.

Another issue I ran into now is the following for building the host 
gdb.exe, let me know if this is worth a separate thread:

make[1]: Leaving directory
`/tw/buildroot/toolchain_build_arm/gdbhost-6.6'
strip /tw/buildroot/toolchain_build_arm/gdbhost-6.6/gdb/gdb
strip: /tw/buildroot/toolchain_build_arm/gdbhost-6.6/gdb/gdb: No such 
file or directory
make: *** [/tw/buildroot/toolchain_build_arm/gdbhost-6.6/gdb/gdb] Error 1

The problem is that gdbhost-6.6/gdb/gdb does not exist. 
gdbhost-6.6/gdb/gdb.exe does exist (and works fine) and should not be 
stripped. Where should the cygwin exclusion for this happen?

Thanks
Tom
