Subject: Unable to Compile LibNoSys in LibGloss
Date: Sat, 29 Jul 2023 23:45:44 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAB2H6_vM7j2xgZ1TsmUTfydTtkaeoAKRk0j-C8_WCw6hFuYLUw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
I tried running the following commands on a fresh checkout of both
main and newlib-4.3.0:
```
$ cd libgloss && mkdir build && cd build/
$ ../configure
$ make
```
It fails with:
```
$ make
make all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/ammra/Desktop/newlib-cygwin/libgloss/build'
Making all in .
make[2]: Entering directory '/home/ammra/Desktop/newlib-cygwin/libgloss/build'

```
The gcc command does not seem to be looking for headers installed with
libc. This appears to be intended behavior (as evidenced by e0c0ad82).
However, the C files reference <_ansi.h>, <errno.h>, <unistd.h>, and
others - which I thought would be provided by a C library. I suppose
my question is: who should provide these files to allow LibNoSys to
compile?
Additionally, my build process may not be correct. Running the build
process in the top-level directory results in nothing happening, with
the following build output:
```
$ make
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/ammra/Desktop/newlib-cygwin/build'
mkdir -p -- ./etc

make[1]: Nothing to be done for 'all-target'.
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/ammra/Desktop/newlib-cygwin/build'
```
I am able to build newlib, though.
To avoid the XY problem, I am attempting to port newlib to a new
architecture. By fiddling with the compiler options, I was able to
compile newlib. However, I think I still need to write the syscalls. I
believe new targets should them in LibGloss, so I attempted to cross
compile that as well. I got the same error while cross compiling, and
eventually I found it doesn't work on the host system either. I want
to be able to at least compile newlib with the "stubbed" system calls.
Thank you,
