Hi Michael,
I already asked this on l4-hackers, but I didn't get any replies (yet):
-------- begin forwarded message ----------- begin forwarded message -------- 1. I'm missing some files, like e.g. in l4 module the file pkg/log/lib/include/l4/liblog.h (among others). [oskit10 is missing _a lot_ of files too, not only .html's]
2. In l4-hackers archive http://www.mail-archive.com/l4-hackers@os.inf.tu-dresden.de/msg00399.html Michael refers to an additional "log" package. This is fine, but this package (included in l4) doesn't include liblog.h (cvs server says: nothing known about pkg/log/lib/include/l4/liblog.h) --------- end forwarded message ------------ end forwarded message --------
I did a complete "checkout l4" again in a fresh directory today, but the problem remained (the same with cvs update -d). One guess may be that the files are not present in the repository or that they have wrong permissions. Could you please check that the cvs server is running correctly (at least for l4 and oskit10)?
I'm trying to compile l4 on a FreeBSD machine. I was able to compile oskit (_not_ oskit10) with gcc-2.7.2.3 and binutils-2.9.1 without problems (gcc-2.95.2 couldn't grok some asm directives because of forbidden use of certain x86 regs) except for the usual warnings. Compiling l4 with gcc-2.95.2 and binutils-2.9.1 went well, up to the point where liblog.h is required. I was not able to proceed any further at this point (liblog.h was not present either in l4-990428.tar.gz).
BTW, I had to modify l4/Makeconf slightly, so that the native gcc(-2.95.2) of FreeBSD be used instead of the cross-compiler i486-linux-gcc. This is the modified part of l4/Makeconf:
ifdef CROSS CPPFLAGS+= -DCROSS ifeq ($(SYSTEM),Linux) SYSTEM_TARGET= FLOPPY=/dev/fd0 else ifeq ($(SYSTEM),FreeBSD) SYSTEM_TARGET= FLOPPY=/dev/rfd0.1440 else SYSTEM_TARGET=i386-linux- endif endif endif
I also tried to compile oskit10, but to no avail. Probably due to the missing files problem reported earlier (I'm not sure though...), even oskit10/configure bombed at a very early stage with the following error message:
checking if compiler groks __attribute__((packed)) on structs... yes checking if compiler groks __attribute__((pure))... yes checking if compiler groks __attribute__((noreturn))... yes checking if compiler groks __attribute__((constructor))... yes configure: error: OSKit modules file ./modules.x86.pc was not found.
It didn't matter wether I used gcc-2.95.2 or gcc-2.7.2.3:
env CC=gcc27 MAKE=gmake ./configure env CC=gcc MAKE=gmake ./configure
This is my compile environment:
gcc -v Using builtin specs. gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release) gcc27 -v Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i386-portbld-freebsd5.0/2.7.2.3/specs gcc version 2.7.2.3 as -v GNU assembler version 2.9.1 (i386-unknown-freebsdelf), using BFD version 2.9.1 ld -v GNU ld version 2.9.1 (with BFD 2.9.1) gmake -v GNU Make version 3.79, by Richard Stallman and Roland McGrath.

Please help!
Thanks,
