RE: GCC on windows for 68k


Hello,

Yes, those are the same I use. But i have a few more files in that
directory...
m68k-coff-g++, m68k-coff-c++, ....

Just for the record....
If you have different targets and working on linux (i have xscale and 68040
cross toolchains on linux), you might want to add a few symbolic links to
make  your life easier...

(i don't know if this is of any use when using cygwin, i guess it does but
haven't tried it)
Go to "/usr/lib/gcc-lib" and if you do a "ls", you see what native gcc is
installed...
(with me it is for a "i586-mandrake-linux" )

Then make the following symlink: (if you specified a "prefix" when building
crossgcc then i don't know if this is also valid. Might be that you should
point to the prefix/lib directory)

ln -s /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/m68k-coff m68k-coff
ln -s /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/<other targets> <other targets>

That way you can call gcc with options to differentiate between compilers.
"gcc" will give you the native compiler
"gcc -b m68k-coff -m68040" will give you cross compiler for 68040
"gcc -b xscale-elf" will give you cross compiler for xscale cpu. (in my
case)

I use KDevelop here for making the same cross-develop projects...
It's really cool to be able to compile for a totally different board/cpu by
just changing the compiler option.

Happy coding,
Jan

Hi Jan,
 
Just wanted to make sure one thing from you.
These are the relevant files which I will be using.
 
/usr/local/bin/m68k-coff-gcc for C cross compiler
/usr/local/bin/m68k-coff-as for cross assembler
/usr/local/bin/m68k-coff-ld for cross linker
/usr/local/bin/m68k-coff-ar for librarian (archiever)
 

Thanks
Ganesh

Hi Jan,
 
Thanks for all your help and to cross GCC building faqs of Bill Gatliff and
msg00195.html, finally I was able to build the cross compiler. I am not sure
what caused the error in the previous build but I was building is usr/local
before and this time I did it in my home folder. The steps are indeed the
similar in both cases. But it builds now and I get the m68k cross compiler.
I need to convert the COFF output to IEEE695 now and I think the objcopy
does that. 
Thanks to everybody for having this wonderful mailing list.
 
Suc6 is assurred. :-)
 
Ganesh

Hi, i don't know directly what you might have done wrong (although your
question about the root may be the answer), so i tell you what i did here.
The following is done for a cygwin under NT....
Some things here don't need to be done if you are working under a linuxbox.
 
I went to my home directory ($ cd ~/) and made a directory 'src'.
Into 'src', I untarred the tar.gz's with "tar xfvz <file>.tar.gz" (gcc,
newlib, binutils... )
(pls don't use winzip or the likes, it's better this way)
 
Then i make m68kgcc, m68kbinutils, m68knewlib.
 
If anything went *really* wrong, i just "rm -r -f" (removed) the "m68k*"
directories, so nothing would get spoiled and i started from scratch.
 
into m68kbinutils, i did a 
../binutils-2.10.1/configure --target=m68k-coff
make all install
 
then i went to /user/local/m68k-coff directory and did 
ln -s ~/src/newlib-1.8.2/newlib/libc/include include
 
Next i went to my gcc-2.95.3 directory and searched for "texinfo".
When found, i do a "mv -i texinfo old.texinfo"
 
Then going into my "m68kgcc"
../gcc-2.95.3/configure --target=m68k-coff --enable-languages=c,c++
--with-newlib --with-included-gettext --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld
make
 
(it stops here with an error that has to do with some C++ stuff i guess.
This is normal at this point !!)
make install after that. (don't think about errors now)
 
Next up into m68knewlib:
../newlib-1.8.2/configure --target=m68k-coff
make all install
 
At this point, you change those two files you talk about
and you go back into m68kgcc and do
../gcc-2.95.3/configure --target=m68k-coff --enable-languages=c,c++
--with-newlib --with-included-gettext --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld
make all install 
 
That should do it i guess.
 
But remind yourself that this is the OLD way.
 
Our Bill has a much better way of making a cross-gcc toolchain, so please
visit his website too.
I rebuilded m68k following his way and it's more logical and without any
errors.
The idea is that you first build a core-gcc that sufficient enough for
building the libraries. 
And after that you make the whole gcc toolchain that needs them.
That way you don't have to edit sourcefiles or anything tricky like that...
 
If my help here gets you nowhere, it's best to try out Bill's crossgcc FAQ.
(http://crossgcc.billgatliff.com/)
 
So good luck and suc6  ( = succes) :)
Jan

Hi,
 
Thanks for your suggesstions. I tried with the package versions you
mentioned. There was a lot of improvement. I was able to get rid of the
previous error and go ahead. But ....but ...but only to face another error. 
After step 2.4.2 in the doc ( .../msg00195.html) i.e. editing the two files,
I tried to make in the m68kgcc directory. It compiled for some time and then
suddenly I got a system error message. The message was as follows :
 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

                            /usr/local/src/m68kgcc

                -----------------
-----------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
 
I got this message when the make was at the following location on the cygwin
window ( snap from the attached config.log file )
 
"
configure:1749: checking whether the C compiler
(/usr/local/src/m68kgcc/gcc/xgcc -B/usr/local/src/m68kgcc/gcc/
-B/usr/local/m68k-coff/bin/ -g -O2 ) works

"
 
If I hit "Ignore", I get a couple of more similar message and then the
cygwin window kind of hangs. The cursor starts dancing around the screen and
I can't do anything but kill the process.
 
If I hit "Terminate", the make proceeds ahead. Then again when it reaches
the location where it says
"Checking for ANSI C header files...", cygwin shell hangs and the cursor
starts dancing across the whole window. Again I have the only option to kill
the process.
 
* I tried editing the two files (specs and libgcc1-test.c) under Windows and
under Unix but still result is the same for both. 
 
* To see whether the versions are proper it used -v switch to gcc and xgcc
and I got hte following reponse.
 
for gcc folder is /usr/local/src/m68kgcc
$ gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.3-5/specs
gcc version 2.95.3-5 (cygwin special)
 
for xgcc folder is /usr/local/src/m68kgcc/gcc
$ xgcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/m68k-coff/2.95.3/specs
gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release)
 
* While running "make install" for all the steps, the doc say "( as root )".
Does that mean anything special? I run make install from the same directory
I used for running make. ( for eg. in case of newlib, I used m68knewlib for
make and make install ). I hope thats correct.
 
I am attaching the config.log for your reference, if it helps. 
 
I am using the same files that you have mentioned. Am I doing anything
wrong? I think I am missing something.
Are there any kind of environment variables to be set? 
 
And what it Suc6. I am sorry but I don't know how to read it with a dutch
tongue. :-( .
 
Thanks
Ganesh

Hi Ganesh,
 
I was able to make m68k-coff with cygwin under NT as well as on a linuxbox
by using the exact same URL ( .../msg00195.html)
However, i have not used any so-called "core" tar.gz. I used full GCC
source-code and i recommend 2.95.3 for gcc
because many have been able to make a cross m68k-coff compiler with this
version:
 
under cygwin:
binutils-2.10.1.tar.gz (7.114KB)
gcc-2.95.3.tar.gz (12.610 KB)
newlib-1.8.2.tar.gz (2.945 KB)
 
If you are only going to use C/ASM, it is not necessary to use the latest
source-code. (although this is debatable)
m68k is a rather old CPU and therefor already supported in older versions of
gcc/binutils/newlib.
 
If you will be using C++, i can recommend GCC-3.0 because lots of
bugs/issues concerning C++ are solved.
 
Suc6. (read with dutch tongue :)

Hi Jan,
 
I followed the procedure you told me. Let me explain you my environment
(since I am the first time user of GNU tools and not worked much on Unix
platform, some things may sound stupid, please bear with me ) . I downloaded
the latest Cygwin 1.3.2 and installed it on my PC with Windows NT 4.0. I got
gcc3.0(gcc-core-3.0.tar.gz) ,  binutils 2.11(binutils-2.11.tar.gz), newlib
1.9.0 (newlib-1.9.0.tar.gz). Then I tried to go through the crossgcc faq.
But I found another document at
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/crossgcc/2000-q2/msg00195.html. I found it more
descriptive and understanding so I followed the steps mentioned in there.
Only I am using different versions of the packages and different target than
mentioned in the doc ( m68k-coff instead of m68k-elf) . I followed
everything step by step compiling the packages in the Cygwin bash shell on
my PC. I could successfully make binutils and gcc. But when making newlib, I
faced some internal compiler error. I am not sure as to what it is and how
to get rid of it. Here is the error I got.

Can anybody help me in this?

Hello Ganesh.... 
First you got to download & install cygwin 
at http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ 
Then you procede by taking a look at 
http://crossgcc.billgatliff.com/ 
for his wonderful building script. 
(m68k-coff is what your target will be) 
By the way, if you extract the source-code from 
the '*.tar.gz' with WinZip (or the likes), make 
sure winzip doesn't change the <LF> to <CR><LF>. 
(go to the options->configuration->miscellaneous 
and make sure the 'TAR file smart CR/LF conversion' 
is *not* checked) 
It's better you extract it with "tar xfz <file>.tar.gz" 
under cygwin. 
Then you can start adjusting your Visual Studio so it 
can compile with the m68k-coff-g++ or m68k-coff-gcc. 
Good luck, i hope this is helpful.

Hi, 
 I am looking for a GCC cross compiler on Windows for 68331 processor. I 
want the compiler to use on a Windows NT machine and which will cross 
compile for the 68331 processor. 
Can anybody give me some links and some more information on how I can 
proceed ? 
Thanks in advance. 
Ganesh
