vm build environment on windows

I was unable to successfully compile gcc.exe 3.4.4 under current Cygwin.
It compiled some target binaries but lots of warnings and ultimate failure.

Does anyone happen to have gcc 3.4.4 built for i386-64-cygwin? If so and
installed to /usr/local, could you zip up the following and send to me,
please?

- bin/gcc.exe
- lib/gcc/**/*.*
- libexec/gcc/**/*.*

If not, any ideas where I could come by this?

regards,
Henry

Hello,

I was not able to find gcc 3.4.4 for the latest Cygwin nor could I find
Cygwin 5.1, so I switched to trying the MingW route. They have a gcc
3.4.5 compiler which I chose. Ultimate I ran into undeclared symbols,
when running mwm.

Here's what I did:
1) MingW installer:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/latest/download and installed
1.a) added gcc 2.4.5
2) CMake 2.8.8 installer:
http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.8/cmake-2.8.8-win32-x86.exe and installed
3) Follow vm build instructions:
http://www.mirandabanda.org/cogblog/compiling-the-vm
3.a) checkout Cog sources
3.b) Change directory to build.win32x86
3.c) edit plugins.ext to remove Bochs plugin
3.d) run mvm

I received errors, listed below. I am not sure what the next step should be.

regards,
Henry

Hi Henry,

here is how it works with GCC 4.9.2 using only the SVN C sources (i.e. w/o having to run VM-Maker):

1. Install latest Cygwin.
2. Load all requried mingw64-i686-* packages (binutils, gcc-g++, runtime should be enough)
3. Check-out latest cog sources.
4. Adapt the particular Makefile (e.g. C:\Tools\cogvm_cygwin\build.win32x86\squeak.cog.spur\Markfile) to find the tools with the "mingw64-i686*" prefix. Do it also with the "Makefile.plugin" file.
5. Fix some build-inbee-5.patch flags that do not work with GCC 4 anymore. (see attached patch file).
6. Open Cygwin and run "./mvm"

Please find attached a patch to update the Windows build files. We will integrate it into the SVN soon.

Best,
Marcel

This is gold.  Thank you very much, Marcel, I will attempt later today
when I can set a time commitment.

Best regards,
Henry

Hi Marcel,

I got quite far with your suggestion. I had to remove -mno-cygwin flags
in many places, when I switched to i686-w64-mingw32-gcc and so. mvm
managed to compile and link many libs.

However, I have hit an error and I wonder if you've any ideas. Trace is
below.

Henry

Hi Henry,

Best,

Marcel, here is a list of issues I ran into, and my attempts at solving
them. The result is more compilation errors.

1) using Cygwin 64bit I had a problem with cygwin1.dll causing a seg
fault. There is literature about the problem mentioning fixing some
source and recompiling. I bailed on this effort.
2) switched to 32bit Cygwin
3) The patch file is for 64bit so I am translating by hand and attaching
the results. NOTE #1
4) 32-bit patch couldn't find files to modify, so I modified by hand.
5) running mvm, I got another set of errors for undeclared, late in the
build, listed below

NOTES
#1 - I think there are 2 spots with -mno-cygwin that are not covered by
the script but I didn't want to figure out how to encode it correctly.
It would be better with a new patch generated.
#2 - since 32 and 64 -bit windows are different, having 2 different
build targets may make sense.

Regards,
Henry

Huh? I did a 32-bit build only. I used Cygwin 32-bit. There is currently no 64-bit build folder for Window builds in the CogVM sources.

Using "i686-pc-mingw32-gcc" is wrong. You should use "i686-w64-mingw32-*" as I described above. These are *not* for 64-bit builds but for 32-bit builds. The 64-bit tool chain include an "x86_64" and not the "i686".

;-)

Marcel

Oh, I see. Then #1 from my list applies. I was getting a segfault
because of some issue with cygwin1.dll.  I believe it is an issue
specific for Windows 7, which is what I am running.  I suppose I need to
recompile cygwin's dll.

I just got your other mail and I will try those packages first.

Thanks,
Henry

The, I guess, you should install 32-bit Cygwin. :) Anyway, there should be no need for the cygwin1.dll to run the compiled CogVM.

Hi Marcel,

I rebuilt my environment and am trying to apply the patch file, without
success. It isn't finding the files to patch. I am running 'patch
--dry-run < bee-5.patch' from the root svn directory I checked out,
where the patch file resides. Perhaps that's wrong.  I suppose I need to
manually change the files, but I'd rather not, you know?  Would you have
any suggestions?

Regards,
Henry

The patch files applies to squeak/branches/Cog :)

Hi Henry,

that seems to be a bug in some recent VM changes. I will take a look at it.

Hi Henry,
