My AROS ARES/Broadway system came without a GCC installation.

Now I installed GCC 3.x from one of the AROS download pages on my AROS system.



I installed everything like it was descriped in the readme:
( put evry thing on sys:development, insert some assigns to user-startup )

But the GCC system refuse to work.

gcc--version
gcc (GCC) 3.3.1

Trying a compilation of a HelloWorld.c


leads to:
HelloWorld.c:l:I9: stdio.h No such file or directory

compiling this:

/usr/bin/ld: startup.o: No such file: No such file or directory.

It seems as if assignes and pathes are totally f***ed up.

Any ideas where to get a working GCC version for AROS ( console applications would be enough for the next 6 month) ?

3.x is obsolete. Just take any nightly build ISO and you will find everythign you need in AROS Live CD:Development

Quote:

OK accepted but I couldn't find a "nightly build ISO"

When I looking here http://aros.sourceforge.net/download.php I only found packeges that needed a GCC (without containig any GCC)

Now I downloaded a GCC4 for AROS 386 decrunced it with bunzip

Then I typed "tar -xvf gcc-4.2.2-i386-aros.tar"

tar did a lot of "de-archiving" and stopped wit the error message:
/work/Extras/Development/bin/tar: Error exit delayed from previuos errors


Is there any package that could be installed without a lot of problems and works like it should be ?

Update:

Now with GGC4 I got an improve in error messages my HelloWorld.c displays 3 lines of error messages instead of only 1:
#Helloworld.c:l19: error: stdio.h No such file or directory
Helloworld.c: In function 'main':
Helloworl.c:5: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function 'printf'

Maybe I'm wrong, but a simnple "Helloworld.c" should be compil-able with GGC3, GCC4 an even with GCC1. There is still a missing system setting for the include path and the readme doesn't tell me how to setup the path correctly.

BTW: .
I'm an excellent beta tester, whenever something could go wrong, it happens to me.

copy this to file and execute the file from shell and try if that helps

Assign INCLUDE: Development:include
Assign LIB: Development:lib
Assign USR: Development:
Assign TMP: T:
Stack 262144

If Exists Development:bin
Assign BIN: Development:bin
Path ADD Development:bin
EndIf

Thank for your reply,

the readme for Install said:


It did nothing for a working path to the includes.

But I think your links will fail to, because in my system development: is somewhere at work: and sys:development is where I copied the GCC files according to the install-readme.

Maybe someonme can help me checking some pathes and assigns:



Could someone please send me his settings and pathes.

update
I allways tried to make all changes in user-startup but finally I loked into the startup-sequence

This explained why I have a development: that is different from sys:development that was used as install for GCC in the install-readme


$develpath is set to dh1:Development

This explains some problems I have with GCC, I m gone try to install everything in development instead of sys:development.

Could someone please delete (or fix) the install-readme file in the GCC archive ? thanks .

Now I copied everything from sys:development to development and fixed the assignes in user-startup and it still doesnt work.

GCC doesn't has a clue what kind of path will lead him to <stdio.h>.

On an Amiga or on my MorphOS box I would use snoopdos, it would show me where GCC is searching for <stdio.h> maybe I need a system variable like C_DIR or C_INC for GCC but all the docs I found where wrong and important parts are missing.

could someone who has a working GCC4.2.2 please post the results of this:
dir include:#? all
or
dir development:include #? all



The content of ENV: would be interesting too:

dir env:#? all


Thanks for your help

@GreenNight

You can find the ISO here:

http://aros.sourceforge.net/download.php#nightly-builds

Search for "pc-i386-boot-iso"

Boot your computer with it and you should be able to compile stuff using gcc. :)

Thanks for your help,

I found and downloaded a file with the name: AROS-20110808-pc-i386-boot-iso.zip

I tried to open it with unzip and gzip -d and with a Zune archiver utillity, but without any success.

Would someone please give me a link to an iso that is compatible with AROS gzip or AROS unzip or give me a link to a de-archiver that works.

Thanks.

Sorry for not posting the error output but I don't know how to copy & paste something of the AROS shell.

Update I
The file I downloaded as AROS nightly was damaged, I couldn't open it on Windows too, I downloaded it again under windows and burned a CD.

Update II
GCC in the Live CD worked like a charm.
After searching around for some assigns in the s: (there was nothing special) and for file structures in the development: folder from the live CD I just copied development to dh1:development and now I have a working GCC on my AROS system.

I got the faulty GCC packages from here:
http://archives.aros-exec.org/index.p ... nction=search&tool=simple

Exactly here:
http://archives.aros-exec.org/share/d ... cc-3.3.1-v2-i386-aros.zip
and here:
http://archives.aros-exec.org/share/d ... c-4.2.2-i386-aros.tar.bz2

Someone should delete them, they wont help anybody.

Now i have problem with my dev installation..

complains about not finding "stream.h" and i know its there but somehow g++ not can not find g++ include files and normal gcc compiles without any problem..

reply back to myself and sorry not "stream.h" -> iostream anyway here is a screenshoot with whats compiled and what error i get all in one screen...
