GP2X Open2X Toolchain Is Now Compatible With Apple's Os X 10.5

[SamuraiX]

I have submitted my patches to open2x's sourceforge site. Everyone can view it here: Link
Now as far as compiling is concerned here are the requirements (From the top of my head):

FInk

• libtool14
• sed
• gawk
• gmp
• mpfr

Prior to running the open2x-gp2x-apps.sh script you will need to export the following variables:

export C_INLCUDE_PATH="/sw/include"
export CPLUS_INLCUDE_PATH="/sw/include"
export LIBRARY_PATH="/sw/lib"

As far as patching is concerned... Either wait for the open2x maintainers to commit the patches or you can apply them yourself by performing the following:

cp binutils-2.16.1-apple.patch ~/open2xtoolchain/patches/binutils-2.16.1/

cp glibc-2.3.6-configure-apple-version-as-ld.patch ~/open2xtoolchain/patches/glibc-2.3.6/

~/open2xtoolchain/patch -g0 --fuzz=1 -p1 -f getandpatch-apple.patch

And there you have it.... You are now ready to compile your very own open2xtoolchain on a Mac! Just execute ./open2x-gp2x-apps.sh and watch the magic happen.....

Thanks for the patch!

I see you posted this more than 1 year ago, but it would seem the open2x toolchains never got updated... for a very long time :-(.

Are you still using the open2x toolchains and I guess you use it via makefile and terminal noway to get Xcode involve somehow?

Your correct that the Open2X build scripts have not been updated in some time but I do build them now and again to check they still build (and when I make up a new PC etc.).

As for Makefiles/X-Code etc., there is nothing special about using the Open2X tool chains, just use then like you would any other external tool chain. There are a lot of guides about on how to do this (I don't do it myself so can't really help).

I don't get quite how to use this - where does the directory referred to as "~/open2xtoolchain/patches" come from? Do you mean this:

http://open2x.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/open2x/trunk/toolchain/


If so, how are we supposed to check this out .. I keep getting "repo has temporarily moved, please update path" style messages ..

Well, I got this far:

Done - Please check the logs to see if your build was a sucess.

In my experience, this means that -ar isn't in the path or some such silly nonsens. So then I tried to:

prepend_path PATH /opt/open2x/gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.3.6/arm-open2x-linux/bin/

..but no success.

Anyone know whats up? I'd love to sort this out and use my Mac for open2x ..
