[Qemu-devel] MINGW: Unable to link multiboot.img + strnlen missing

[Qemu-devel] MINGW: Unable to link multiboot.img + strnlen missing

[Bartlomiej Celary]

Hi,
I have recently updated my git snapshot and had 2 problems:

1. There is no strnlen function in MINGW (not sure if it has been
added recently as I might be using an outdated version...)

2. I was not able to link multiboot.bin using mingw:

for d in pc-bios/optionrom; do \
make -C $d || exit 1 ; \
        done
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/abc024/work/qemu/pc-bios/optionrom'
gcc -o signrom -g -Wall signrom.c
gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Werror -fomit-frame-pointer
-fno-builtin -I/home/abc024/work/qemu -o multiboot.o -c multiboot.S
ld --oformat binary -Ttext 0 -o multiboot.img multiboot.o
D:\mingw\bin\ld.exe: cannot perform PE operations on non PE output
file 'multiboot.img'.
make[1]: *** [multiboot.img] Error 1
rm multiboot.o
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/abc024/work/qemu/pc-bios/optionrom'
make: *** [roms] Error 1

And it looks that this workaround did the trick:

diff --git a/pc-bios/optionrom/Makefile b/pc-bios/optionrom/Makefile
old mode 100644
new mode 100755
index c4a6f42..f414eba

Obviously objcopy needs to be defined in the config.mak file.

That should be easy enough to fix.  Can you send a patch?

I'm not sure I understand why this works, but if you resubmit the patch 
with a Signed-off-by, we can apply it.

It's unfortunate that we need to do the signrom step now that I think 
about it as it's bad for cross-compilation.  Maybe we should sign 
anything without a checksum when doing option rom loading.  What do you 
think Alex?

Why can't we just exclude mingw from building option roms? Let's just  
treat it like any non-x86 platform, so it takes the binary blobs.

The signrom problem is independent on mingw32.  This makefile is doing 
something that the rest of the build system is careful not to do: 
compile a binary and run it as part of the build process.

That's why hxtool is not written in C.

Well, the optionrom directory is a first of its kind: Full source to a  
binary blob.
So would you prefer to have signrom be in sh? :-)

Maybe I could come up with a version in brainfuck though ... hum

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] Win32: Fix build (no strnlen)

[Stefan Weil]

strnlen is a GNU extension which is missing in mingw32
and perhaps other build environments.

So we should avoid it and replace it by standard functions.

Or something like this?
#ifdef __MINGW32__
size_t strnlen (const char *string, size_t maxlen)
{
   const char *end = memchr (string, '\0', maxlen);
   return end ? (size_t) (end - string) : maxlen;
};
#endif

Re: [Qemu-devel] MINGW: Unable to link multiboot.img + strnlen missing

[Bartlomiej Celary]

Hi,
Just tried latest pull from git and noticed the "cannot perform PE
operations on non PE output file 'multiboot.img'." error.

Is there any agreement on how to fix the linker issue under mingw?

Thanks,
Bartek Celary

Someone posted a snippet in a thread but I can't find it.  If someone 
posts a top level patch, I'll apply it.
