Hi,

I ditched my Ubuntu and installed Fedora 64 bit release. I compiled and installed gcc-4.1.2 to be used for Aros building.

When I try to build Aros with it, linker complaints that smpboot.bin.o is incompatible and it is as it is 64 bit elf(checked it with file), everything else compiled seems to be 32 bit as they should. What is wrong with this? Same thing happened with backtrack 5 distro.

Linking /home/dizzy/aros_builds/i386-abi_v0/bin/pc-i386/gen/kobjs/kernel_resource.o
/usr/bin/ld: i386:x86-64 architecture of input file `/home/dizzy/aros_builds/i386-abi_v0/bin/pc-i386/gen/rom/kernel/arch/smpboot.bin.o' is incompatible with i386 output
make[1]: *** [/home/dizzy/aros_builds/i386-abi_v0/bin/pc-i386/gen/kobjs/kernel_resource.o] Error 1

EDIT: Tried this with ABI_V0

[dizzy@linux aros_builds]$ file /home/dizzy/aros_builds/i386-abi_v0/bin/pc-i386/gen/rom/kernel/arch/smpboot.bin.o
/home/dizzy/aros_builds/i386-abi_v0/bin/pc-i386/gen/rom/kernel/arch/smpboot.bin.o: ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped

What's your configure command?

BTW, the nightly build machine uses GCC 4.1.2 too (maybe that's why you chose it).

I have this script:

----------------------------------
cd /home/dizzy/aros_builds/i386-abi_v0/

rm -rf bin

/home/dizzy/aros_svn/branches/ABI_V0/AROS/configure --target=pc-i386 --with-serial-debug=1 --enable-usb30-code --with-portssources=/home/dizzy/aros_cache
make
----------------------------------

gcc-4.1.2 is in /opt/gcc4.1.2/bin as "gcc-4.1" with symbolic link "gcc"

On my ~/.bashrc I have export PATH="/opt/gcc4.1.2/bin:$PATH"

Same with g++



EDIT: Don't know if this is of any help, but the compiler seems to work:

[dizzy@linux ~]$ gcc --version

[dizzy@linux ~]$ file a.out
a.out: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, not stripped

Both of the compiled files run on this 64 bit release, should they?

GCC was built with:
--prefix=/opt/gcc4.1.2
--program-suffix=-4.1
--enable-languages=c,c++

Try with some basic config like --enable-debug=all and see if it compiles. Also it seems that compiler/linker is producing 32bit executable while you nee 64bit. Are you sure you've installed right version. If not just remove gcc and install the default one.

Default gcc-4.7 gives me the same error, I have not removed it from the system, all I do when wanting to use it(gcc 4.7) is to comment out the export path line and start a new shell.

I don't think that a more basic configure line will get me any further, but I'll try.

EDIT:
I tried to build it inside the source tree with just "configure --target=pc-i386", result was the same

EDIT: I am trying to build 32 bit Aros on this 64 bit linux

Have you tried a completely clean build? "rm -rf bin" might not be enough. The fact that your environment is so similar to the main nightly build machine (also running 64-bit Linux) gives me confidence that it should work.

I've deleted everything from the build directory and the results are still the same. I can't even build a hosted version as it (gcc-4.1) chokes on boingiconbar

iconbar.c:119: error: initializer element is not constant

EDIT:

Aros SVN checkout is clean and out of the box as is the Fedora installation (just messed with it a bit...)

Building hosted with default gcc-4.7 chokes on afs,

Building afs.handler ...
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-noarosc’

This all reminds me when I build 64bit Aros on 32bit linux, http://aros-exec.org/modules/newbb/vi ... pe=&topic_id=4694&forum=2

There was also some problems wit bootstrap but I don't have ANY clue what the heck I'm saying... And besides if no one else needs to modify the build tree I'd assume I don't need to alter linker flags

IIRC to build AROS with a particular compiler one has to do:
CC=gcc-4.1 ./configure ...

That doesn't work under ABIv1 anymore, but for v0 it should still work.

Shouldn't you use x86_64 as a target cpu? I'm not sure if you really need to specif the target when building hosted linux. At least on x86 you can skip target option.
