binutils problem

[Synlor]

i'm redoing my whole toolchain to upgrade to kos 1.1.8(including reinstalling cygwin) and i'm using what i think are hte latest packages availible. i'm following hangar-eleven's guide, but i have a problem when i'm configuring the make file for binutils. it gives me this error every time

Code: Select all

checking whether to build static libraries... yes
    157 [main] sh 846037 fork_copy: user/cygwin data pass 2 failed, 0x980000..0x
CC3000, done 0, windows pid 4294188203, Win32 error 8
eval: Cannot fork: Resource temporarily unavailable
eval: Cannot fork: Resource temporarily unavailable
configure: error: libtool configure failed
Configure in /gcc/build-binutils/opcodes failed, exiting.

how do i fix this? i'm using the latest cygwin from cygwin.com, and using binutils 2.12.91

At this point you are trying to build the target=sh-elf version of binutils, right I believe that binutils-2.12.91 is source for the target=cygwin version only. Try getting version 2.12.1 at the GNU ftp site. Hope that will work for you!

i'll try it in a little bit, thanks a lot!

[BlueCrab]

Glad I could help, and I hope that it will work as well for you as it did for me!

2.12.1 didn't work, but 2.11.2 did! Its doen configuring and now is making bin utils. I can't wait till this is done because I have a program I want to try out. nothing special, not even anything is displayed on the screen, but i'm learning a lot from it. Since i really don't know C, its been a great help. Basically i'm just copying code from a few examples, and combining them, but also making sure i understand what each line of code means. its just going to play a cdda disc(i know there is an example, but this one is better, because i modified it, ) it will be able to change tracks, change all the volume for both channels at once, and a few other features. I even making it display something on the VMU, .

i probally should start another topic for this, but hey, i'm lazy. I have a few questions about c.

when i type:

Code: Select all

int x;
x = "would this work?";

could i make it a string like that without any other code?

also could someone tell me all of the other subroutine(is that the right word?) of cdrom_cdda?

ok, what about romdiscs? will i need to have one for the player type thing i'm making? the example doesn't have one, but then again its meant to be used with a serial cable. how much work is it to add romdisc support, just a few lines of code? would it just work i told the cdrom to spin down before the button detection happens, so i can swap it? i call cdrom_cdda_play(x%, cdda_tracks) when you press A.(i think that is the code, i don't have it in front of me.

okay, one last question, while typing this the make all install thing stopped, it gave this error:

Code: Select all

make[3]: Leaving directory `/gcc/build-binutils/ld'
make[2]: Leaving directory `/gcc/build-binutils/ld'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/gcc/build-binutils/ld'
make: *** No rule to make target `intall'.  Stop.

how do i fix this one?


thanks for everything everyone, sorry for the long post,

No, you cannot make an integer a string under any circumstances. You could do this:

Code: Select all

 int x;
 x = 'A';

And hope the compiler will do some implicit typecasting on your part. But from what I remember, it won't. So you would have to do this:

Code: Select all

int x;
(char)x = 'A';

And explicitly typecast the integer to a character.
But why would you want to make an integer a string anyway? Just curious.


Second question:
Look at the last line of your error: No rule to make 'intall'
Find where 'intall' is in either the script or Makefile and replace it with install.

I've rarely seen the option

Code: Select all

(char)x = 'A';

work. It might compile, but will probably puke... If you're just trying to print out the string:

a) Use printf ala

Code: Select all

printf("My number is %d\n",variable);

b) Use sprintf ala

Code: Select all

sprintf(buffer,"My number is %d\n",variable);

The first is for direct printing, the second would be for if you need a string for use later....
