[ptxdist] Building the OSELAS.Toolchain on non Linux/GNU based systems?

[ptxdist] Building the OSELAS.Toolchain on non Linux/GNU based systems?

[Juergen Beisert]

Hi,

I'm trying to build the OSELAS.Toolchain in FreeBSD with ptxdist and it fails 
badly. Does someone know what is additionally required on the host on a non 
Linux/GNU based system to make it work again (especially Bernhard and Andreas 
due to their work on MacOS)?

One funny error message is (for example):

In file included from ../include/sys/types.h:1,
                 from ../misc/sys/uio.h:24,
                 from <stdin>:3:
../posix/sys/types.h:147:20: error: stddef.h: No such file or directory

Regards,
Juergen

I haven't built my toolchains for months (last was in January I think).
But AFAIR there was no error when building OSELAS.Toolchain for at least:
 arm-v4t
 arm-v5te
 arm-cortexa8
 x86_64 (pure 64)
 avr32 (not yet mainline)

I know there was a issue when building i586 toolchain (or was it i686?),
but haven't investigated that.

For Mac OS X you will require at least
efc80fde76ce72863dcba385e1177011d18770d7 (binutils-2.21.1a: fix patch
[mol]) (OSELAS.Toolchain) and ptxdist with resent changes for OS X (do
not know which one counts).
At least the coreutils stuff should be setup correctly in your
<ptxdist>/bin/
 -> read this posts:

Can't remember such an error.

A major change in OSELAS was to build host-autotools stuff for setting
up binutils correctly (readelf). AFAIK these host-autotools come from
ptxdist and may cause trouble when versions change. But I do not think
this is the root cause of your problem.

Maybe it helps to check the BSD ports sytem if they contain a gcc build
script or (better) some cross gcc build script. Maybe they have some
build requirements or some patches.

At least it helped me to check MacPorts on Mac OS to build some host
tools...
