Build haiku problem (newbie needs help)

Help
1

Host ubuntu 23.10, dev packages and haiku jam installed

/home/user/src directory with buildtools and haiku subdirectory

In haiku ./configure --cross-tools-source …/buildtools --build-cross-tools x86_64 successfull

I have folder generate in haiku folder:

ubu@t470s:~/src/haiku$ tree -L 2 generated
generated

│ ├── share

├── haiku.image-init-vars
├── Jamfile
└── objects
└── linux

WHAT NOW? Call jam? From where and with what parameters? Set Path?

Yes, call jam with the profile you want, for example jam @nightly-anyboot to build a nightly image.

Useful options to jam are:

-q to quit on errors (I think it’s a good idea to always have this)
-j to use more than 1 CPU core (for example -j4 to run 4 jobs in parallel) to get faster builds

That is the problem i think i am missing a step setting a path or enviroment varoiable or something because i get this errors, i think it is using my system compiler:

What is your gcc version?

gcc --version

We use the host gcc to build some tools running on the host system, and we have to adjust a few things with each new release of gcc, maybe yours isn’t known yet.

You can try to modify headers/os/BeBuild.h yourself to add the needed version there; and submit a patch if you want :slight_smile:

ubuntu 23.10

Sorry, i have no clue what to adjust there, i am just a simple sysadmin :wink:

Will try compiling it on an older Linux release first, thanks for the help

I thought it should use the compiler from the buildtools instead of the system one

7

It uses both. From your log, I can see from the path of the file with an erorr (containing /linux/x86_64/) that it is a step using the host compiler.

For a simple sysadmin you’re doing well, Ubu, especially with dual screens. The (Haiku) world is watching you with great interest. :slight_smile:

Also check what you are compiling. gcc 13 support was included some 6 months ago, so a tree from before will give you the error you got.
