Running CGEN

Running CGEN

[Shehryar Humayun]

Hi,

I am trying to regenerate the opcodes support files
using CGEN for m32r. I have modified the file by
adding some comments into it. 

According to the CGEN FAQ 7.html, I have to build my
CGEN build directory before running "make stamp-m32r".
Does this mean that I have to run 
"./configure --target=m32r"
in the opcodes directory available with binutils?

In fact I have tried this and I am getting error like:
"[...]"
"cannot run config.sub"
and the process terminates. Any one have any ideas
about the cause of the problem. Please correct me if I
am not doing it right. 
(I am using cgen-1.0 and guile-1.3.4.)

Regards

Almost.  Actually, you should run the configure script
of the *parent* of the opcodes directory.  That top-level
one recursively invokes the configure script of the
subdirectories.

Thanks for the reply. One more thing: should binutils
be configured and installed on the system as well to
regenerate, for example, opcodes files in the
gas/opcodes directory, before running "make
stamp-TARGET". If so, should binutils source tree be
configured with "./configure --target=TARGET" before
running "make ..."?
Thanks in advance

Regards

You don't need to install the cross-binutils, just build it in the
same build tree as the rest of the tools:

	build
	+- opcodes
	+- binutils
	+- gas

It is no longer necessary to configure and build CGEN in this way, as
it is a tool that can be run entirely from the source tree (using the
helper Makefile targets in opcodes/Makefile, for example).

Yes.

Running CGEN

[Shehryar Humayun]

Hi,

I am working on porting GAS using CGEN framework for a
DSP chip. Before doing that, I am trying to reproduce
the m32r port using cgen. 
I am totally new to this. I am having trouble in
understanding how to generate the 8 files
(cgen-desc.h, cgen-desc.c etc) for porting opcodes of
m32r.
Has any one written a how-to sort of a thing that
would guide me in getting a start. The documentation
available with cgen is not working out for me.

Thanks in advance.

Good idea.

Yes, the documentation is not fantastic in this regard.  Instead,
please take a look at the FAQ entry on this subject:

You should be able to find some information here:

http://sources.redhat.com/cgen .  There is a "Faq-O-Matic" link and a
"manual" link that should help.
