Hello everyone, My name is Etienne Robillard and I am studying Art in college. I don't have yet any degree in computers science, whatsoever. What I am attempting to do is to build/boot L4Linux (and on another time The Hurd, while I'm at it...) on a typical x86 machine, Pentium III with 384mb of sdram. oskit = oskit60 (the old version modified for l4 with patches) gcc = crossgcc 2.95.2 (no libgcc2.a) with pthread-elf support, i386/linux emulation os = freebsd4.7-p8 (with libc_r/) make = gmake target = i586-l4-linux (just for fun...) build= i386-unknown-freebsd4.7 binutils = version 2.13.2.1 as root in $(L4DIR); gmake hello : gmake[1]: Entering directory `/home/manoya/build/l4oskit/l4/oskit/flux' gmake[1]: Nothing to be

Error 1 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/home/manoya/build/l4oskit/l4/oskit/libfdev_linux' gmake: *** [libfdev_linux/all.MAKE] Error 2 In order to get there, I had to undefined HAVE_CODE16 in $(OSKIT)/flux/config.h. Otherwise, I would have this bug : gmake[1]: Entering directory `/home/manoya/build/l4oskit/l4/oskit/flux' gmake[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'. gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/home/manoya/build/l4oskit/l4/oskit/flux' gmake[1]: Entering directory `/home/manoya/build/l4oskit/l4/oskit/libc' gcc -c -MD -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DDEBUG -I. -I../libc/x86 -I../libc/stdio -I../libc/stdlib -I../libc/string -I../libc/gen -I../libc/malloc -I- -I.. -I.. -I../flux/c -nostdinc -DASSEMBLER -MD ../libc/x86/i16_bcopy.S /tmp/ccqgmwoi.s: Assembler messages: /tmp/ccqgmwoi.s:235: Error: `8(%ebp)' is not a valid 16 bit base/index expression /tmp/ccqgmwoi.s:236: Error: `12(%ebp)' is not a valid 16 bit base/index expression /tmp/ccqgmwoi.s:238: Error: `16(%ebp)' is not a valid 16 bit base/index expression /tmp/ccqgmwoi.s:239: Error: `(%esi,%edx)' is not a valid 16 bit base/index expression /tmp/ccqgmwoi.s:242: Error: `(%edi,%edx)' is not a valid 16 bit base/index expression /tmp/ccqgmwoi.s:259: Error: `8(%ebp)' is not a valid 16 bit base/index expression /tmp/ccqgmwoi.s:278: Error: `8(%ebp)' is not a valid 16 bit base/index expression /tmp/ccqgmwoi.s:291: Error: `8(%ebp)' is not a valid 16 bit base/index expression /tmp/ccqgmwoi.s:292: Error: `12(%ebp)' is not a valid 16 bit base/index expression gmake[1]: *** [i16_bcopy.o] Error 1 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/home/manoya/build/l4oskit/l4/oskit/libc' gmake: *** [libc/all.MAKE] Error 2 I dont know if this is a bug 'cause, ain't qualified ;) really... As a result, I am quite lost in space with the asm part. But, I was asking myself if 1) this is due to an improper crosscompiler setup (compiler doesnt have libgcc2.a subroutines... my fault) Will work on that for now on. 2) because I have undef HAVE_CODE16, my i16_bcopy object will fail bit-copying inline functions that need 16 bit index base ? 3) "warning: control reaches end of non-void function" and "fixed or forbidden register 2 (cx) was spilled for class CREG" Yeah. right. Bring it Linda ! Here is for your convenience a sample of the contents of $(OSKIT)/libfdev_linux/include/asm/string.h:408 #define __HAVE_ARCH_MEMCPY #define memcpy(t, f, n) \ (__builtin_constant_p(n) ? \ __constant_memcpy((t),(f),(n)) : \ <------ n=count ? __memcpy((t),(f),(n))) /* I have tried to change (n) to (count) with similar syndromes; but something's telling me that Linus know what he`s doing while I seriously doubt my proefficiency in that domain... */ Also, I dont have an Internet connection at home... Therefore, I got very, very old parts (before 1.0) of the Fiasco �-kernel... At last, this issue in lfdev_linux might be solved already(?), which would be nice, but I haven't found any references to that neither in the 2001 mailing-list or in the 2002.
