No longer used by anything (it appears some old kernel drivers that
are not included in the build might use it, but I don't know why
they need it -- we already ship GPL'd code [libntfs] for the kernel
in the default build unconditionally.)
Briefly discussed with js a few weeks back.
* Eventually BoardSetups and target boards will go away.
* Include all known fdt's in the mmc image
* This gets us closer to target board-less arm
* Changing hardware is as simple as plugging a new fdt
into u-boot's startup script.
* Drop my original rpi1 work. We're targetting ARMv7
minimum.
* beaglebone vs beagleboard
* While the boards are almost the same, they have
diff. FDT's now (more memory, different layout etc)
* Make u-boot script more rpi-like
(depend on u-boot for initial addresses)
* Wasn't working, still doesn't.
from a stock GDB source tree.
I was getting tired of doing it manually.
Note the prefix is not exactly the same as the buildtools since the
machine triplet is different, but it's not an issue.
Tested with arm and ppc with GDB 7.8. Might need patching gdbTarget for other archs,
as stock GDB doesn't know about Haiku.
This was added in hrev47174 but isn't needed. (confirmed with jessicah)
the -e flag was causing the script to exit when it encountered an error
instead of allowing us to print an error message and exit ourselves.
I accidentially tried to compile Haiku on a case-insensitive FS and
tripped over this.
The configure script should print an error message if you try to configure
on a case-insensitive FS once again.
* The Raspberry pi 2 uses a new SoC which differs slightly
from the Raspberry Pi 1.
* Someday these two board targets could go away when we get
FDT support.
The BSD grep doesn't know about \s. Moreover, checking for elf (rather
than ELF) seems to make more sense, as that's the format name, not part
of the description.
Patch suggested by geist. Thanks!
* From now on, the gcc-specific system libraries (libgcc, libsupc++ and
libstdc++) are provided by separate packages built along with gcc:
- gcc_syslibs contains the shared libraries (libgcc_s.so, libsupc++.so and
libstdc++.so)
- gcc_syslibs_devel contains the static libraries and both c++ and gcc
headers
The shared libraries now make proper use of symbol versioning and there
are version-specific symlinks
* The buildsystem has been adjusted to no longer use the libraries and
headers from the cross-compiler, but use the ones provided by the
above-mentioned packages. The only exception is that the 32-bit libraries
required for the bootloader of the x86_64 architecture are still taken
from the cross-compiler.
* Drop unused variables from build system that refer to the system
libraries.
* Drop unused lists of libgcc objects.
* Drop no longer used variables from configuration script.
* Remove no longer needed building of kernel-libgcc and -libsupc++ from
build_cross_tools_gcc4, only the boot-specific (32-bit) libs are
built for a x86_64 target.
* Explicitly disable threads and TLS support when building the cross
compiler, as the only libraries that are used by Haiku's build system
is the 32-bit libgcc and libsupc++ for the bootloader on x86_64 (and
for that neither is wanted).
* If --no-downloads has been given, Haiku will be built without
trying to download anything, all required packages need to be put
into the download folder manually (the build will stop on missing
packages).
* As the required HaikuPorts repository can't be downloaded in this
mode, a local repository is created during the build, which only
contains the packages available in the downloads folder.
This is useful for building Haiku completely from source.
* Since this affects generated objects and needs a clean build anyway,
it is better set and fixed at configure time.
* It could also be used when building the cross compiler to set
appropriate options.
* As per the ML discussions. Bumps MIPS to tier 3.
* We've reached a unanimous descision that MIPS doesn't
target any real / valid hardware Haiku wants to pursue
at the moment. In the event that anyone wants to pursue
MIPS, feel free to fork Haiku into your own repository
(and we'll even link to it on the website ports page)
* If someone develops a viable plan for MIPS (and gets the
port working, it can be readded at a later date)
* as Ingo has pointed out, the remote user settings doesn't
relate to the build configuration at all, so setting the
remote user via HAIKU_REMOTE_USER in UserBuildConfig or
via shell environment is the way to go
* additionally: drop debug output
* add option --remote-user to configure, which sets HAIKU_REMOTE_USER
* add evaluation of HAIKU_REMOTE_USER variable when ssh-ing
into git.haiku-os.org
This allows FreeBSD with a pure /bin/sh (not a symlink to /bin/bash) to build
the cross-tools to a dedicated directory, outside of the generated folder.
Pass --enable-hybrid-secondary to gcc's configure when building it as
a secondary compiler. Doesn't make a difference for building Haiku
itself, but makes it easier to match the Haiku cross devel package with
the compiler when building bootstrap packages with haikuporter.
gcc 4 only ATM.
The goal is to do hybrid builds in a single jam (instead of calling a
sub-jam to build parts with the secondary tool chain). This changeset
adds support to configure to prepare multiple tool chains.
configure:
* Merge option --build-cross-tools-gcc4 into --build-cross-tools. The
option does now always require a packaging architecture parameter,
i.e. x86_gcc2 for the legacy tool chain.
* Multiple occurrences of the --build-cross-tools and
--cross-tools-prefix options are allowed. The first one specifies the
primary tool chain, the subsequent ones the secondary tool chains.
* All architecture dependent jam variables are now suffixed with the
name of the packaging architecture. The new HAIKU_PACKAGING_ARCHS
contains the packaging architectures for the prepared tool chains. The
first element is for the primary tool chain.
* No longer generate a separate libgccObjects file. Just put the
respective variable into BuildConfig as well.
build_cross_tools[_gcc4]:
* Replace the <haiku output dir> parameter by a <install dir>
parameter. This allows to create different cross-tools directories.
They are simply suffixed by the packaging architecture.
Jamrules:
* For the moment map the variables for the primary tool chain to the
respective suffix-less variables, so that everything still works as
before.
The next step is to actually support the secondary tool chains in the
jam build system. This will require quite a bit more butchering, though.
* Add configure option --bootstrap which allows specifying the
haikuporter and HaikuPorts repository paths.
* Add rules for supporting a second repository type. The
PackageRepository rule is now private and RemotePackageRepository is
used for remote repositories. The new BootstrapPackageRepository rule
is for defining a bootstrap repository (there will probably be only
the HaikuPorts cross repository) whose packages can be built as needed
via haikuporter.
* Rename DownloadPackage to FetchPackage.
* Define repository HaikuPortsCross.
* HaikuCrossDevel package(s): There are now two sets of packages: A
"stage1" set with the same content as before and a final set
additionally containing the libraries libbe, libnetwork, libpackage.
Those are needed for building the libsolv bootstrap package while for
building them we need other bootstrap packages (ICU, libz).
This is basically all that's required to build a bootstrap Haiku
completely from sources, with a few caveats:
* There's no ICU bootstrap recipe yet (so one has to cheat and use the
prebuilt package ATM).
* Probably doesn't work on Haiku yet (tested on Linux only).
* A 32 bit environment must be used (otherwise building the gcc 2
bootstrap package fails).
* Building with multiple jobs doesn't work yet, since haikuporter uses
common directories for building different packages and there's no
explicit serialization yet.
* Haven't tested the resulting image save for booting it. So it probably
needs a bit more work before it can actually build the final
HaikuPorts packages.
The new configure option "--use-xattr-ref" enables an xattr assisted
variant of the generic attribute emulation. Instead of using the inode
ID of a node to identify its attribute directory, we use a reasonably
unique random 128 bit number, which we generate and attach as an
attribute to the node. This way, when a node changes its inode ID
(defragmentation?) or the inode ID of a removed node with a left-over
attribute directory is reused, attributes won't get mixed up.
The old method is still used for symlinks (since on Linux only
priviledged users can write attributes on symlinks), but those usually
only have a rather boring BEOS:TYPE attribute, so mix-ups wouldn't be
that problematic anyway.
* The GCC2 buildtool sources were updated, so change the date
* A new GCC2 optional package will be added later today
+alpha 4 (build will break otherwise)
Turns out that libgcc is needed, for some reason building the kernel
with -O0 does not end up referencing libgcc but -O2 does. A separate
build of it is done with -mno-red-zone, same reason as for libsupc++.
Ended up being easy to rebuild with different CFLAGS: previously I'd
tried doing `CFLAGS="-mno-red-zone" make` in the libgcc dir which
didn't override, the correct way is `make CFLAGS="-mno-red-zone"`
Kernel mode code on x86_64 needs to be built with -mno-red-zone as
interrupts would corrupt the red zone if it were in use. However, the
kernel is linked with libsupc++, which was not compiled with
-mno-red-zone. If an interrupt occurred in libsupc++ code the red zone
would get corrupted. This was causing random panics, particularly under
heavy system load. Therefore, on x86_64 a separate build of libsupc++
with -mno-red-zone is now done for the kernel to use. Note: this commit
will require a rerun of configure and rebuild of cross tools.
The elfedit tool doesn't exist with the old binutils, so configure was
failing when it tried to get the path to it. Only try to search for it
if building GCC 4.
Added the necessary build flags for modules, and added a module (dpc)
to the floppy image for x86_64 builds for testing purposes. The module
gets loaded correctly and its code runs without issue. Only non-trivial
addition is the different method for generating kernel.so, this is
explained in the kernel Jamfile.
* Use gcc and g++ rather than cc and c++, as the latter now point to
clang with recent Xcode versions and compilation of the host tools
fail for various reasons with it.
* Replace the case-sensitive filesystem check with a more basic one,
as diskutil no longer supports the behaviour of getting info for the
volume that any path is on.
* Updated ReadMe with a correct list of prerequisites for OS X.
* GCC 2 builds are still broken due to a strange error that only
occurs with a GCC 2 built on OS X 10.7
* x86_64 is using the existing *_ia32 boot platforms.
* Special flags are required when compiling the loader to get GCC to compile
32-bit code. This adds a new set of rules for compiling boot code rather
than using the kernel rules, which compile using the necessary flags.
* Some x86_64 private headers have been stubbed by #include'ing the x86
versions. These will be replaced later.
