help cross-compiling gcc

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

I've been trying to cross-compile various versions of gcc using the
Synology DSM6 and DSM7 toolchains and kernel for various archs
(armv5-7-8, ppc, i686, x64).

Over the years I've been actively working on the SynoCommunity project
that provides a framework to help integrate free software and generate
linux packages that can be installed on Synology NAS (ref:
https://github.com/SynoCommunity/spksrc)

Pertaining to gcc, my first attempt has been to try to build the same
compiler as the one used on various versions of DSM6 (gcc-4.9) and
DSM7 (gcc-7.5).  In order to do so I use the Synology provided
toolchain and prepare the associated kernel with proper platform
configuration in order to provide its headers.  In extra I look
forward into applying crosstool-ng patches.

As a relatively "simple" example, I've been working on cross-compiling
for a x86_64 host/target using DSM6 with gcc-4.9.4.  So far I was only
able to build the gcc C compiler (beginner's luck?).  Enabling any
other languages fails so has trying newer versions of gcc on that
particular platform.

>From my reading I've associated my sysroot with the proper toolchain
and added linux headers as extra includes.  I believe I'm close but
probably missing something obvious (which is why I'm now asking for a
bit of extra help :)

Build options are as follows (partially based on linux from scratch
gcc 4.9.2), makefile variables naming being parsed by the framework:
CONFIGURE_ARGS = --disable-bootstrap
#CONFIGURE_ARGS += --enable-languages=c
CONFIGURE_ARGS += --enable-languages=c,c++
#CONFIGURE_ARGS += --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran,go,objc,obj-c++
CONFIGURE_ARGS += --enable-shared
CONFIGURE_ARGS += --enable-threads=posix
CONFIGURE_ARGS += --enable-__cxa_atexit
CONFIGURE_ARGS += --enable-clocale=gnu
CONFIGURE_ARGS += --disable-plugins
CONFIGURE_ARGS += --disable-multilib
CONFIGURE_ARGS += --with-system-zlib
CONFIGURE_ARGS += --with-build-sysroot=$(TC_SYSROOT)
#CONFIGURE_ARGS += --with-sysroot=$(TC_SYSROOT)
# Otherwise fails
ADDITIONAL_CFLAGS += -Wno-error
# kernel headers
ADDITIONAL_CFLAGS +=
-I$(WORK_DIR)/linux-$(ARCH)-$(TCVERSION)/arch/$(ARCH)/include
ADDITIONAL_CPPFLAGS +=
-I$(WORK_DIR)/linux-$(ARCH)-$(TCVERSION)/arch/$(ARCH)/include

Considering that by default the framework provides:
--host=$(TC_TARGET) --build=i686-pc-linux

Guidance would be much welcomed :)
