Unable to compile buildtools in macOS

Help
1

I’m trying to build haiku in macOS but when I try to compile buildtools for x86 architecture it fails. Below I’ve attached last part of what is shown on my terminal. Can anyone help?

config.status: executing default commands

if [ x"-fPIC" != x ] && [ ! -d pic ]; then \

mkdir pic; \

else true; fi

touch stamp-picdir

if [ x"-fPIC" != x ]; then \

else true; fi

What are your build steps?

I’m following the user guide at: Building Haiku | Haiku Project
I tried executing:

./configure --cross-tools-source ../buildtools --build-cross-tools x86_gcc2 --build-cross-tools x86

I also tried building for x86_64 but that too threw me similar warnings and errors from compiler.

Similar or exactly the same?

5

That path looks strange. It’s usually ../../buildtools and ../configure. Did you create a generated directory and cd into it?

Edit: I guess configuring from the top-level is supported, I just never do it that way. The x86_64 page shows working in a clean directory.

6

Similar in the sense that there were warnings regarding various files. Building for x86_64 throws a much longer error. I’m attaching a small part of the log if it is of any use: build error - Pastebin.com

I’ve tried working in a clean directory too. It’s still the same.

On the 64bit version the problem is caused by an error in the merge of gcc 11.2. We had a patch to this file that was incorrectly applied, and two #include statements were removed.

I have discussed this with anuragpd4 on IRC and will let them test the change and submit the patch if it works.

For arch x86_64 everything runs fine.

For arch x86_gcc2 we still have above mentioned errors, I modified files :

buildtools/legacy/binutils/libiberty/regex.c
buildtools/legacy/binutils/libiberty/md5.c

by removing macro around #include<stdlib.h>.

Though that fixed all the above errors we still got one when building cross tools

 clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
*** The command 'gcc -m32 -o conftest -O2 -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE -fcommon   conftest.c' failed.
*** You must set the environment variable CC to a working compiler.

There was this similar error on FreeBSD reported here https://www.freelists.org/post/haiku-development/usrlocalbinld-cannot-find-ldl-what-is-this

So I think we need to modify build/jam/buildsetup for MacOS as well.

Anyone familiar could help me here?

Do you really need to build for gcc2? That will indeed be troublesome on modern architectures and on non-Linux machines generally. I think the best way is to work on x86_64 only, and rely on the buildbot in Gerrit to check your changes with gcc2 and 32bit systems. Unless you are really interested in spending time fixing compiler problems.

Actually I got build error for gcc2 on gerrit, I thought maybe it will be good idea to have buildtools for that as well, so I can check my changes on gcc2.
It isn’t much necessity since x86_64 works fine.
