nios2-linux-20100621 toolchain-build problems !!!

Altera_Forum · ‎02-14-2011

Hi all,

I downloaded the latest version nios2-linux-20100621, and followed the guides from Nios wiki carefully to build the tool chain for uClinux. But I get stuck at building uClibc step, error like this


In file included from ./include/sys/syscall.h:34,
                 from libpthread/linuxthreads.old/restart.h:16,
                 from libpthread/linuxthreads.old/cancel.c:23:

make: ***  Error 1
make: Leaving directory `/home/kevin/nios2-linux/uClibc'
make: ***  Error 2

In order to resolve this problem, I create a dummy file traps.h with command: touch build/linux/include/asm/traps.h. After that, another error appears :(

And I can overcome this error by commenting line 101 in file wrapsyscall.c, which define the macro msync. Try to build again, and again another error stop the build process

My system is Ubuntu 10.10 64bit. I think this toolchain maybe not compatible with my system, so I tried to build on Virtual machine with CentOS 5.5 32bit with the same errors !!!

I am hopeless. Is there anybody can build the toolchain nios2-linux-20100621 successfully???

Can any body help me??

Some more information about git:

toolchain-build: master

uClibc: v0.9.29-nios2

Hi,

is there really a need not to use the prebuild toolchain? I also tried building the toolchain on my own but it took almost a hour and at the end there will still some problems.

The traps message could be due to the compiler version of gcc. Probably you have a gcc other than 4.2.

Altera_Forum · ‎02-14-2011

I don't know if it matters, but what branch are you on in linux-2.6?

Also, from my experience, you will need to build it on a 32-bit system.

Altera_Forum · ‎02-14-2011

Totally agree with you about the necessity of building my own toolchain. Two year ago, I finish a my project with DE2 board and uClinux. I build in simple "NAS".

Fortunately, I have an opportunity to work with uClinux and DE2 board again. With some experiences working on Linux and embedded systems, I would like do do something more deeply than I ever did, such as build toolchain, customize kernel...

Maybe the problem's in the GCC 4.2 as urmel (http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/member.php?u=39183) mentioned or wrong branch in linux-2.6 ykozlov (http://www.alteraforum.com/forum/member.php?u=26158) said .I will check and post the result soon. I saw some others thread meet the same problems without answer.

Thank for your attention!

After change to nios-test branch in linux-2.6, the problems above are solved. But another issues appear:

This one seems to be concerned with GCC compiler???

Is this on the 64-bit host?

Altera_Forum · ‎02-15-2011

Right, I compile on Ubuntu 10.10 64bit and GCC 4.4.

I try to compile on CentOS 5.5 32bit with default GCC 4.1, everything runs well. So I still cannot identify which GCC or 64bit architecture casue the error when building the toolchain.
