[Qemu-devel] Latest CVS problem on ppc

[Renzo Davoli]

On ppc when I try to compile qemu it breaks with a screenful of errors
on linuxboot.S

It seems to be an i386 assembly source code, my gcc gets "a bit
confused" on it.

Maybe a change in the Makefile is needed (to avoid the use of that file
when compiling od a different architecture).

If I have spare time I'll track better the problem later.

I am having problems on i386 too.

on a debian woody (gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease))
I get:
qemu/cpu-exec.c:467: more than 10 operands in `asm'

on a debian sid (gcc version 3.3.3 20031206 (prerelease))
I get target-i386/helper2.c: In function `cpu_x86_init':
/home/renzo/qemutest/cvsnew/qemu/target-i386/helper2.c:97: error:
storage size of `ldt' isn't known
/home/renzo/qemutest/cvsnew/qemu/target-i386/helper2.c:97: warning:
unused variable `ldt'

I'll have a look of them as soon as I have a bit of spare time, if
somebody has already fix them please either reply on ML or upload
a new version on cvs.

tnx.

Oops, I forgot that problem. I will fix it by adding a precompiled 
binary file.

I think this is a problem with asm/ldt.h include.
The name of the struct is there struct user_desc.

so i hope this fix is it.
:helper2.c line 97

#ifdef USE_CODE_COPY
    /* testing code for code copy case */
    {
        struct user_desc ldt;

        ldt.entry_number = 1;

Thanks both to Fabrice and Matthias.

Both fixes work.
(for now I have copied the linux_boot.o file from a i386 machine and
touched it so that "make" finds it new)
