A Fresh New Toolchain+libs - Compiled On Demand!

[GP2X_Coder]

I just wish if that someone that had sucess compiling the new lib's would just put them up for people to download.

I just wish if that someone that had sucess compiling the new lib's would just put them up for people to download.

Well, most of my gp2x stuff is accessible over the internet under
http://luteijn.xs4all.nl/html/gp2x/
e.g. http://luteijn.xs4all.nl/html/gp2x/newtoolchain/gp2xdev/
It's not a great connection, but if you're desperate enough... Still, if stuff doesn't compile for you, these might not be any help.. Doesn't hurt to try too much though.

Playing .mods doesn't seem to work, any ideas?

 

[Parkydr]

Funny you should say that, I was trying to get oggs to work with Freedroid but it just segv'd so I went back to mods and I get unrecognized file format messages when I try to play them

 

[Parkydr]

I've ended up using Guyfawkes' libraries from way back. OGGs now work.

 

[Guyfawkes]

as parkydr mention, if you copy the audio related libs from mine over your current ones it should work fine (i have done this myself with no problems).

regarding making a brand new upto date build, ive got everything compiled apart from the latest audio libs, keep getting the error message i posted a few posts above. if anyone can help let me know and i can then try and release a new set of libs for people to use.

 

[sparr]

I apologize for not having specific pastes, I long since resolved the problem and moved on, just thought it prudent to post here...

When on the tremor-0.0.0 step of libs/makefile, I had a problem with --host not being passed to autogen. I just copied the configure parameters verbatim into the (previously empty) autogen.sh parameters and all was well.

I get the same exact same errors, libungif is a dead end. Been downloading toolchains from the archives for a week, no sdk has completly built, at least none of them available in unbroken files that will actually extract whole. Cannot get up to a SDL hello world to save my life. Rather disppointing that such a nice linux device with all the hype doesn't even ship with a working sdk for linux on either one of the two fairly empty cdroms, have to go scraping it together from google. Kudos and thanks to oopos and paeryn for slogging through it, truly heroic efforts.

I get an error on compiling libungif-4.1.4

I just went through downloaded and rebuilt the toolchain on my linux box a few days. I fixed makefile, loaded different version of libs and such to get it to work. I think libsv? was the only fatality but I did get it done. I could see if I can re-tar what I did (after a make clean) and post a link if you think that would help.

 

[ryosaeba]

I think it will help some users.
I did fix my problems myself a long ago and I don't actually remember exactly what I did. I edited a few Makefiles for sure.

 

[gmiller1018]

Ok ... I will re-tar it and post a link now that will be available on Monday mid-morning Eastern Standard time US:

OK IT EXISTS now : 8:48 PM EST USA, An LUA build for GP2XX and my current VBA emulator work (Not Funtional on GP2X yet) are there too because I am too lazy to move them out for the tar.

http://www.ivrtech.net/files/LinuxGp2xBuildTree.tar.gz

Size is 144,617,538 bytes

NOTE: I have put the link here BEFORE I put the files in it. When the file is ready I will re-edit this message and note that fact.

*** I tried a make clean and the make files deleted my development libraries for I manually (find . -name "*.o" -exec rm {} ; -print
removed the object files to make things smaller. I hope this helps and does not create too much greef for me.

I look at the make output:

There is at least one wrong include directive here "-I/usr/X11R6/include" that could cause problems (not that it is). I generally look at the Makefiles generated by the "./configure" and see if I should add command line options or edit the generated makefile to correct the potential issues.

That is also why I have the paths for cross platform developement totally isolated from each other. My gp2x stuff is aall rooted at /gp2xdev/... so I can look for /usr or /lib and change them to point where I need.

 

[Sphinxter]

Curiouser and curiouser... next error in libungif is:

gp2x-gcc -O3 -ffast-math -fomit-frame-pointer -mcpu=arm920t -I/usr/local/gp2xdev/include -I/usr/local/gp2xdev/include/libxml2 -L/usr/local/gp2xdev/lib -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -O3 -ffast-math -fomit-frame-pointer -mcpu=arm920t -I/usr/local/gp2xdev/include -I/usr/local/gp2xdev/include/libxml2 -I/usr/X11R6/include -Wall -O3 -ffast-math -fomit-frame-pointer -mcpu=arm920t -I/usr/local/gp2xdev/include -I/usr/local/gp2xdev/include/libxml2 -MT dgif_lib.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/dgif_lib.Tpo -c dgif_lib.c -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/dgif_lib.o

gif_lib_private.h:53: warning: type defaults to 'int' in declaration of 'GifFilePrivateType'
[snip...]

If I clean up that command line up to:

gp2x-gcc -O3 -ffast-math -fomit-frame-pointer -mcpu=arm920t -I/usr/local/gp2xdev/include -I/usr/local/gp2xdev/include/libxml2 -L/usr/local/gp2xdev/lib -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -Wall -MT dgif_lib.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/dgif_lib.Tpo -c dgif_lib.c -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/dgif_lib.o

it builds fine with a few signedness warnings only. So it seems the autoconf is mangling the command lines? Not sure what to think about this.

I look at the make output:

gp2x-gcc -O3 -ffast-math -fomit-frame-pointer -mcpu=arm920t -I/usr/local/gp2xdev/include -I/usr/local/gp2xdev/include/libxml2 -L/usr/local/gp2xdev/lib -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -O3 -ffast-math -fomit-frame-pointer -mcpu=arm920t -I/usr/local/gp2xdev/include -I/usr/local/gp2xdev/include/libxml2 -I/usr/X11R6/include -Wall -O3 -ffast-math -fomit-frame-pointer -mcpu=arm920t -I/usr/local/gp2xdev/include -I/usr/local/gp2xdev/include/libxml2 -MT getarg.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/getarg.Tpo" -c -o getarg.o getarg.c

Are you building from the set I put the URL on or are you build from the archives?

When I did the tools build I sourced the following file prior to the build:

GP2XDEV="/gp2xdev"
export GP2XDEV

PATH="$PATH:$GP2XDEV/bin"

export PATH
LIBDIR=$GP2XDEV/lib
export LIBDIR

CC=gp2x-gcc
CPP=gp2x-gcc
CXX=gp2x-g++

export CC CXX CPP

export CFLAGS CPPFLAGS CXXFLAGS

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$LIBDIR
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH


LD_RUN_PATH=$LD_RUN_PATH:$LIBDIR
export LD_RUN_PATH

Of course in my case I was putting the tools in "/gp2xdev/..." Which is not what the directions state because I do not like mixing my cross compiling tools with my platform tools. I am built my tools on Fedora Core 5 with LOTS of developement tools loaded (and it's my web server).

 

[Sphinxter]

I will try adding that to my environment, seems to be calling all the right tools from the right places. I am working from the gp2xdev-20060525.tar.bz2 downloaded here http://archive.gp2x.de/cgi-bin/cfiles.cgi?0,0,0,0,14,1609
Seems to be the cleanest, most complete I've seen so far. I'm trying to build on

Try commenting out the line:

SDL_svg-1.1.9 little different, in Makefile.in change COMPILE, LTCOMPILE and LINK to:

COMPILE = $(CC) $(DEFS) $(DEFAULT_INCLUDES) $(INCLUDES) $(AM_CPPFLAGS) \
$(CPPFLAGS) $(AM_CFLAGS) $(CFLAGS)

LTCOMPILE = $(LIBTOOL) --mode=compile $(CC) $(DEFS) $(DEFAULT_INCLUDES) \
$(INCLUDES) $(CFLAGS)

LINK = $(LIBTOOL) --mode=link $(CCLD) $(CFLAGS) \
$(AM_LDFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) -o $@

It then gets a collision with the X includes, doesn't seem to care for --without-X so I changed ac_x_header_dirs in configure to:

configure:
ac_x_header_dirs='
'

so it won't find any X headers. Now SDL_ttf has blown up, looks like the X headers again.

 

[Sphinxter]

I changed configure to disappear the X headers and SDL_ttf-2.0.7 built and looks like the rest finished, now to try writing a makefile to build a test something with it. Is there like, a test suite for this?

The new toolchain+libs is really great, took me a few messing with the order of everything to static link.but it works now, not sure how or if anything I'll do is big enough for autoconf so I just hacked a makefile together, how does everyone else do this, any of the libs out of order, would automake figure it out for me?
