Hi all,
I am going to write my own applications in miniOS, and find it can't call the function xs_open which is available only if HAVE_LIBC is defined.
According to the README in mini-os, it suggests seeing the stubdom/ directory. But I still can not find how to do it.
So, does anyone know how to build mini-os with much better libc support?
If Newlib can be used to build mini-os, how to do it? Do I have to compile a cross-compiler first?
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Best Regards,
Lele MA

Yes. But this all already handled by the Makefile in stubdom/, and see
the end of README about the c-stubdom target which builds the c/
directory.

Thank you so much! It is great to build newlib so conveniently. But
when I run 'make c-stubdom' in stubdom/, it yields:
make: *** No rule to make target `mini-os-x86_64-c', needed by
`c-stubdom'. Stop"
Do you have any idea about how this happen?
BTW, after building xen, there is a new directory named
"newlib-x86_64/' in stubdom/. I am a newbie to newlib and don't know
what's this exactly. Is it the newlib that a stubdomain can use as the
libc?
My xen version is 4.4.0 and dom-0 is Ubuntu-12.04. Thank you for your patience!
Best regards,
Lele MA

It's been years since I have had a look at that build system :)
Apparently the c target somehow gets disabled, but you can add it by
hand in
TARGETS=$(STUBDOM_TARGETS) c

That's it, yes.

Samuel, Thank you so much, it helps!
But I have to disable the CONFIG_TEST in /stubdom/c/minios.cfg, or it yields multiple definition:
/media/wind/lab/xen/xen/xen-4.4.0/stubdom/mini-os-x86_64-c/test.o: In function `app_main':
/media/wind/lab/xen/xen/xen-4.4.0/extras/mini-os/test.c:542: multiple definition of `app_main'
/media/wind/lab/xen/xen/xen-4.4.0/stubdom/mini-os-x86_64-c/main.o:/media/wind/lab/xen/xen/xen-4.4.0/extras/mini-os/main.c:187: first defined here
Does the stubdomain allow only one app_main to run?
I have tried adding "__attribute__((weak))" before "int app_main()" in main.c, so that it will be replaced by the new definition in test.c. It builds well but the VM cannot be created with yielding erros.
Another question confuses me a lot. The c-stub domain exit immediately after prints the "Hello world" defined in /stubdom/c/main.c. And the console functions defined in /extras/mini-os/console/console.c has no effect at all. So, how can I enable the console functions?
The configurations and Makefiles overwhelm me. Any help would be appreciated.
Apologies if questions are too naive.
Best regards,
Lele MA

Well, yes, sure, just like you can't have several main function in a C
program. This is apparently a spurious change, I have submitted a patch
removing it, thanks for the report.
> Another question confuses me a lot. The c-stub domain exit immediately after prints the "Hello world" defined in /stubdom/c/main.c.
Yes, that's just a hello world example.

Which function, precisely?
The C stubdom is supposed to provide you with a C environment, so you
should just use printf.
