This file introduces you to building a cross-toolchain on MacOS-X.
|
|
Apart from the crosstool-NG configuration options for the specific target,
|
|
what is important is:
|
|
- what pre-requisites to install
|
|
- how to install them
|
|
- how to work around the case-insensitivity of HFS+

Compiling cross compiler for default TS-7390 debian system on Mac OS X
|
|
|
|
Forewarning: It's kind of a pain. Several of OS X's packages aren't good enough
|
|
so you need to install some GNU stuff. You might have an easier time using a
|
|
package manager for OS X but I prefer to compile everything from source so I'm
|
|
going to provide the instructions for that. Also there are a few little catches
|
|
with how some of the older gcc/glibc stuff compiles on OS X.
|
|
|
|
The version of glibc on the TS-7390 default file system is 2.3.6. So we need to
|
|
make a compiler with glibc 2.3.6 or older. I guess you can pick whatever version
|
|
of gcc you want to use. I'll pick 4.1.2, which is what is included with the 7390
|
|
debian. But you could theoretically do something newer like 4.3.3 (or older,
|
|
like 4.0.4) if you want, I think. All I know is the following works fine for gcc
|
|
4.1.2 and glibc 2.3.6.
|
|
|
|
First, you have to install some prerequisites. Go in a temporary folder
|
|
somewhere and follow these directions.
|
|
|
|
Some of the included OS X utilities aren't cool enough. So we need to download
|
|
and install some GNU utilities. Luckily they compile with no trouble in
|
|
Mac OS X! Nice work GNU people!
|
|
|
|
First make sure you've installed the latest version of Xcode so you have gcc
|
|
on your Mac.
|
|
|
|
Install GNU sed into /usr/local. Note: I believe configure defaults to
|
|
/usr/local as a prefix, but better safe than sorry.
|
|
|
|
curl -O http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/sed/sed-4.2.1.tar.bz2
|
|
tar -xf sed-4.2.1.tar.bz2
|
|
cd sed-4.2.1
|
|
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
|
|
make -j 2 (or 4 or whatever...# of jobs that can run in parallel...
|
|
on a dual core machine I use 4)
|
|
sudo make install
|
|
|
|
Install GNU coreutils:
|
|
|
|
curl -O http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-7.4.tar.gz
|
|
tar -xf coreutils-7.4.tar.gz
|
|
cd coreutils-7.4
|
|
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
|
|
make -j 2
|
|
sudo make install
|
|
|
|
Install GNU libtool:
|
|
|
|
curl -O http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-2.2.6a.tar.gz
|
|
tar -xf libtool-2.2.6a.tar.gz
|
|
cd libtool-2.2.6
|
|
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
|
|
make -j 2
|
|
sudo make install
|
|
|
|
Install GNU awk, needed to fix a weird error in glibc compile:
|
|
|
|
curl -O http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gawk/gawk-3.1.7.tar.bz2
|
|
tar -xf gawk-3.1.7.tar.bz2
|
|
cd gawk-3.1.7
|
|
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
|
|
make -j 2
|
|
sudo make install
|
|
|
|
Xcode doesn't come with objcopy/objdump, but you need them. Download GNU
|
|
binutils 2.19.1 and install just objcopy and objdump. Not sure how exactly to
|
|
do only them so I compile it all and copy them manually....there may be a
|
|
better way.
|
|
|
|
curl -O http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/binutils/binutils-2.19.1.tar.bz2
|
|
tar -xf binutils-2.19.1.tar.bz2
|
|
cd binutils-2.19.1
|
|
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
|
|
make -j 2
|
|
sudo cp binutils/obj{dump,copy} /usr/local/bin
|
|
|
|
|
|
Done installing prerequisites...now do the fun stuff!
|
|
|
|
|
|
1) Create a disk image with Disk Utility (in /Utilities/Disk Utility).
|
|
Open it and go to File->New->Blank Disk Image.
|
|
Save As: Call it whatever you want.
|
|
Volume name: Call it CrosstoolCompile
|
|
Volume size: Go to custom and choose 2000 MB. This is a temporary image you
|
|
can delete once you're done compiling if you wish.
|
|
Volume format: Choose Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, journaled).
|
|
Mac OS X's default file system does not allow you to name two files
|
|
the same with different cases (abcd and ABCD) but you need this for
|
|
crosstool. So that's why we're creating a disk image. Leave everything
|
|
else the default and save it wherever you want.
|
|
|
|
2) Create another disk image where the final toolchain will be installed.
|
|
Your crosstool needs to go on a disk image for the same reason--needs a
|
|
case sensitive file system and regular Mac OS X HFS+ is not. So we have to
|
|
make another one. Follow the steps above but set the volume name to
|
|
Crosstool and then make the volume size something like 300MB. Just make
|
|
sure you leave plenty of room for any libraries you want to add to your
|
|
cross compiler and that kind of stuff. The resulting toolchain will be about
|
|
110 MB in size. Set the Volume Format to
|
|
Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, journaled).
|
|
Save this image somewhere handy. You'll be using it forever after this.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3) Make sure they're both mounted.
|
|
|
|
4) cd /Volumes/CrosstoolCompile
|
|
|
|
5) Grab crosstool-ng:
|
|
curl -O http://ymorin.is-a-geek.org/download \
|
|
/crosstool-ng/crosstool-ng-1.4.2.tar.bz2
|
|
(OS X doesn't come with wget by default)
|
|
|
|
6) Expand it
|
|
tar -xf crosstool-ng-1.4.2.tar.bz2
|
|
cd crosstool-ng-1.4.2
|
|
|
|
7) Build it
|
|
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
|
|
|
|
Make sure you do it like this.
|
|
/usr/local/bin has to come in the path BEFORE anything else.
|
|
|
|
./configure --local
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
8) Configure crosstool
|
|
./ct-ng menuconfig
|
|
|
|
At this point you should have a screen up similar to the Linux kernel config.
|
|
Now set up options. Leave options as default if I haven't mentioned them.
|
|
|
|
Paths and misc options:
|
|
Enable Use obsolete features
|
|
Enable Try features marked as EXPERIMENTAL
|
|
Set prefix directory to:
|
|
/Volumes/Crosstool/${CT_TARGET}
|
|
(this tells it to install on the disk image you created)
|
|
Number of parallel jobs: Multiply the number of cores you have times 2.
|
|
That's what I generally do. So my dual core can do 4 jobs.
|
|
Makes compiling the toolchain faster.
|
|
|
|
Target options:
|
|
Target Architecture: ARM
|
|
Use EABI: Do NOT check this. The default TS Debian filesystem is OABI.
|
|
If you are doing an EABI one, you can set this to true (but may want
|
|
to do a different version of gcc/glibc)
|
|
Architecture level: armv4t
|
|
armv4t is for the EP9302. other processors you would pick the
|
|
right architecture here.
|
|
Floating point: Hardware
|
|
|
|
I believe this is correct even though it's not really using an FPU because
|
|
the pre-EABI debian distro was compiled with hardfloat instructions so
|
|
whenever you do a floating point instruction the kernel is actually
|
|
trapping an illegal instruction error, makes for slow floating point...
|
|
EABI is so much better.
|
|
|
|
I know hardware is the default, but I just wanted to clarify that you need
|
|
to choose hardware here. I'm pretty sure anyway.
|
|
|
|
Toolchain Options:
|
|
Tuple's vendor string: whatever you want.
|
|
It'll be arm-yourtuple-linux-gnu when you're finished.
|
|
|
|
Operating System:
|
|
Target OS: linux
|
|
Linux kernel version: 2.6.21.7 (best match for TS kernel!)
|
|
|
|
binutils:
|
|
version: 2.19.1
|
|
C compiler:
|
|
gcc
|
|
version: 4.1.2
|
|
choose C++ below, so you can compile C++!
|
|
C-library:
|
|
glibc (NOT eglibc for this)
|
|
glibc version: 2.3.6
|
|
Threading implementation to use: linuxthreads
|
|
|
|
(note: nptl is better than linuxthreads, but it looks like nptl didn't support
|
|
ARM back in glibc 2.3.6?
|
|
|
|
Exit and save config.
|
|
|
|
Now we need to add a patch. Looks like the configure script for glibc does not
|
|
like some of apple's binutils, so we need to patch it to skip the version tests
|
|
for as and ld. Stick this patch in crosstool-ng-1.4.2/patches/glibc/2.3.6 to
|
|
skip the version test for as and ld:
|
|
|
|
http://homepage.mac.com/macg3/300-glibc-2.3.6-configure-patch-OSX.patch
|
|
|
|
(or see below, at the end of this file)
|
|
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
Okay, done setting up crosstool...now...
|
|
|
|
./ct-ng build
|
|
|
|
Sit back, relax, wait a while. Crosstool-ng will do the rest, automatically
|
|
downloading tarballs, patching them, installing them. Could take quite a long
|
|
time. The actual compiling took about 30 minutes on my older MacBook Pro. When
|
|
you're done you have a cross compiler on your disk image that you named
|
|
"Crosstool". Look in there and you're all set!
|
|
|
|
So whenever you want to use the cross compiler, you need to mount this disk
|
|
image. You could also create an actual partition on your computer that is
|
|
Mac OS X extended case-sensitive if you wish. Then you don't need the disk
|
|
image.
|
|
|
|
You can delete the CrosstoolCompile disk image. It was just used temporarily
|
|
while compiling everything.
|
|
|
|
Note that I'm pretty sure gcc 4.1.2 has a bug in assembly generation that will
|
|
cause Qt 4.5 to segfault. I'm fairly sure I saw this problem before with 4.1.2.
|
|
I know for a fact that gcc 4.3.3 has the bug. This bug report:
|
|
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=39429 has the details. I adapted the
|
|
patch at the bottom to work with gcc 4.3.3. you might be able to apply it to
|
|
other gcc versions. Not sure. I think 4.0.4 does not have this bug so you might
|
|
even try compiling 4.0.4 instead of 4.1.2. Lots of options. Hope this helps,
|
|
I've struggled with this stuff a lot but it's so convenient to have a native
|
|
OS X toolchain!

Patch
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
Here is the afore-mentioned patch:
|
|
|
|
---8<---
|
|
Mac OS X fails configuring because its included binutils kind of suck.
|
|
This patch makes the glibc 2.3.6 configure script ignore the
|
|
installed version of as and ld. It just makes the configure
|
|
script believe that it's as version 2.13 and ld 2.13.
