Hi.

I'm trying to get MorphOS cross compiler working on my Linux x86 system, i have tried to install these packages on my pc: http://www.lysator.liu.se/~lcs/files/gg-cross/

But i don't have some libraries needed to get it working, the readme says that i need to copy libsyscalls.a, and it doesn't exists, i got an error trying to get some code compiled:

Code:

The MorphOS Library have a link called "Cross-compiling for MorphOS", the site is down, and it doesn't exist on any web archive site like webarchive.net, google cache, ...

There aren't an updated guide to get cross compilers working on Linux?

You should not need libsyscall.a in a properly built environment. This is a private library with userland calls to the Quark kernel and will not be part of the SDK anytime soon. We will however try to make it easier for people to cross-develop for MorphOS in future SDK updates. Sadly, I will be going back from Antarctica back to the real world during the following 3 months, so an update before 2013 is unlikely.

A simple call like "ppc-morphos-gcc test.c -o test" show that libsyscalls is need and test.c is a simple example with a main function and a printf call inside, so these packages (http://www.lysator.liu.se/~lcs/files/gg-cross/) doesn't work with any MorphOS SDK? these packages were only for MorphOS developers?

I can wait, don't worry. I was trying these cross-compiler packages, i need some dev tools like CMake to make some portings, since CMake doesn't exits on MorphOS SDK.

Quote:There is your problem... The binutils and GCC packages available there are outdated and should not be used anymore!

This is a short description how it should work (it works for me ;-) Choose an install location ${DEST} and place the SDK headers and libraries there:

Code:
Now get the original sources for binutils 2.9.1 and GCC 2.95.3 (core and g++ archives are sufficient). Then get the MorphOS diffs of the binutils 2.9.1 and GCC 2.95.3 updates from march 2007. Apply the diffs with patch, use ${DEST} as value for the --prefix argument of configure, build and install the results. At that point you should have a working GCC cross-compiler for MorphOS.

BTW, the above mentioned diffs used to be available on MDC. I think the diffs should be made available through morphos-team.net.

Quote:What kind of changes do you have in mind? AFAICT, the GCC 2.95.3 patches from MDC do support cross-compiler environments just fine. However, the MDC GCC versions of 2.95.3 lack Altivec support.

But then I have no idea which GCC version is used/recommended these days for development of MorphOS software.

That should be what's contained in the official MorphOS SDK:

Where are these MorphOS diffs patches?

Quote: Correction: place the contents of gg:os-include there. Depending on what you have in gg:usr/include, it should go to include or sys-include

BalrogSoft,

Quote:As I already said, they used to be on MDC. Thus you should try to get them from an "official" source, eg. from morphos-team.net or maybe a MorphOS core member can provide them.

However, after looking at the SDK 2011 compiler, I have some doubts about the usefulness of the GCC diffs. It seems the cleanups / changes / improvements were not folded back into the MorphOS repository :-(
