Compile programs ABI v.0 hosted

[nikos]

Hi, I know this been discussed before and there are some outdated manuals online.

Is it possible to get some help with this?

I like to try to compile VICE 3.4 using Linux to get a AROS v.0 i386 exe. I can use AROS hosted if that is more easy.
At least that is what I will use to test my .exe if there will ever be one

The link to cross compiler is not correct.

i wanted to try to compile something too i installed the sdk but then i couldn't do anything

[braincure]

one question.
linux drivers were considered to be transferred to Aros?

The link to cross compiler is not correct.

It hasn't been correct for ages now (while it was good).

If you do not have any idea on how to patch your buildsystem manually then you should  perhaps make use of the gimmearos script (afairc provided by mazze) that can be found in the AROS source-tree (here) and that is able to setup a complete (cross) development environment for AROS and allows you to compile AROS itself as well..

You should be able to find a similar script inside the source-tree of deadwood (for both abiv0/abiv1 as deadwoods tree is from before 'the split' ).

The script(s) should be able to install everything needed (and patch them as well, in case required).

one question.

Sorry but that question "does not compute" for me 


What exactly do you mean by that ? That it was considered to port linux drivers to AROS ? In case you are then you should have a google at the words "Anubis OS" and/or "ARIX" 


If not then i am confused about the question as AROS makes use of something named HIDDS (hardware independent device driver's), and yes there is an occasional peek at how some hardware is addressed on other Operating Systems as there are sometimes quite a few quirks with regards to certain hardware. A HIDD can't be compared to a 'regular' driver (for whatever operating system).

edit: Having said that, i now realised that perhaps you are familiar with projects such as nouveau , mesa and mplayer. Those are ported to AROS.

Here you have instructions on how to setup you linux and build a cross compiler:

https://github.com/deadw00d/AROS/blob/alt-abiv0/INSTALL.md

[salvo]

ok deadwood but then in the source of the program that one wants to bring the makefile must be present, if it is not present how to proceed?

[deadwood]

How to compile an application differs from application to application, so there is no one-size-fits-all answer. What I provided will be enough to build a cross compiler and you  have to do development work to compile the application itself.

@deadwood: Noted. Thank you for the correction.

Thank you Deadwood. This is what I was looking for
I will try to follow the manual and don't be surprised if I got questions

[deadwood]

No worries, the more people try it, the more feedback they provide and the easier the manual becomes for more people to try.

Have you first selected "toolchain-alt-abiv0-i386" in ./rebuild.sh script?
Do you have  /var/www/svn/myrepo/toolchain-alt-abiv0-i386/ directory?

[nikos]

Have you first selected "toolchain-alt-abiv0-i386" in ./rebuild.sh script?
Do you have  /var/www/svn/myrepo/toolchain-alt-abiv0-i386/ directory?

Yes, I have that directory. I did something wrong. I selected nr. 2 and not nr. 1 cause I got this error.

I followed your manual:

$ mkdir myrepo
$ cd myrepo
$ git clone https://github.com/deadw00d/AROS.git AROS
$ cd AROS
$ git checkout alt-abiv0
$ cd ..
$ cp ./AROS/scripts/rebuild.sh .
$ ./rebuild.sh

After that I get this.
