idea why.]
Hello,
I have succeeded in compiling EROS on a Debian Gnu/Linux system and
I thought that it might be helpful for others to post my experiences
here.
I used the latest unstable Debian distribution (called woody) and my
gcc/g++ version is 2.95.2 20000313
After several compilation attempts, I finally succeeded with the
following procedure:
- Untar eros-base.tgz, eros-build.tgz and eros-xenv.tgz
- Set the following environment variables:
EROS_ARCH="i486"
EROS_CONFIG="DEFAULT"
EROS_HOSTENV="linux-xenv"
EROS_ROOT="/mo/eros/eros"
EROS_XENV="/mo/eros/eros/xenv"
(the eros files were untarred at /mo/eros)
- make update
- I had to change awk to point to gawk (Gnu Awk), because Debian
uses mawk as the default and this caused problems.
- I changed the following lines in
$EROS_ROOT/src/build/lib/make/makevars.mk,
because the cross compilation tools were not being called.
from:
EROS_GCC=$(NATIVE_GCC)
EROS_GPLUS=$(NATIVE_GPLUS)
EROS_LD=$(NATIVE_LD)
EROS_AR=$(NATIVE_AR)
EROS_RANLIB=$(NATIVE_RANLIB)
EROS_OBJDUMP=$(NATIVE_OBJDUMP)
EROS_STRIP=$(NATIVE_STRIP)
EROS_SIZE=$(NATIVE_SIZE)
to:
EROS_GCC=$(EROS_XENV)/bin/$(CROSS_PREFIX)gcc
EROS_GPLUS=$(EROS_XENV)/bin/$(CROSS_PREFIX)g++
EROS_LD=$(EROS_XENV)/bin/$(CROSS_PREFIX)ld
EROS_AR=$(EROS_XENV)/bin/$(CROSS_PREFIX)ar
EROS_SIZE=$(EROS_XENV)/bin/$(CROSS_PREFIX)size
EROS_OBJDUMP=$(EROS_XENV)/bin/$(CROSS_PREFIX)objdump
EROS_RANLIB=$(EROS_XENV)/bin/$(CROSS_PREFIX)ranlib
EROS_STRIP=$(EROS_XENV)/bin/$(CROSS_PREFIX)strip
- Compilation next stopped with an error
in
$EROS_SRC/src/base/cross/lib/erosimg/ExecImageElf.cxx
and I needed to change line 75
from:
struct elfhdr& exehdr = *((elfhdr*) image);
to:
elfhdr& exehdr = *((elfhdr*) image);
- "make -k floppy" did not work, because there wasn't any target
called "floppy in the Makefile and "make -k ztstflop" didn't
write to my FDD which is on /dev/fd0 so I used "make -k zsysvol"
and then dd'd the image to /dev/fd0.
It might be possible to eliminate some of these steps, but I haven't
had to time to test this yet.
Best regards,
Anthony Mulcahy
