problems during toolchain build, about the pspsdk

SpaceForce · Post by **SpaceForce** » Mon Dec 15, 2008 3:11 pm

I've got a fresh psptoolchain and pspsdk from SVN, version both 2448

When running the tool.sh script to 003-pspsdk-stage1.sh
output:

I have meet with the same problem too.

My environment is:
OS: Ubuntu 7.10
GCC: 4.2

This also occurs in WinXP with the lastest Cygwin.

The easiest way is to modify the ./configure file.

These 2 files are use 0x0D 0x0A at the end of a line as the Car-Return for the next line.
The 0x0D will be misrecognized as a new line and 0x0A for another too.

When the bootstrap file read the version, it write an unused Car-Return in ./configure file (see ./configure line 576).

The solution is:
After runned ./bootstrap.
Open the ./configure file with a text editor such as gedit.
Find the version "1.0+beta2".
Delete each Car-Return after the "1.0+beta2".
Save and exit.
Run the ./configure.

There are 10 such words in the file.
Show as below:
1. near line 3;
2. near line 575;
3. near line 576;
4. near line 1287;
5. near line 1353;
6. near line 1458;
7. near line 1471;
8. near line 2228;
9. near line 8612;
10. near line 8665.

Such as line 575:

Code: Select all

PACKAGE_TARNAME='pspsdk'
PACKAGE_VERSION='1.0+beta2
'
PACKAGE_STRING='pspsdk 1.0+beta2
'
PACKAGE_BUGREPORT=''

It should be:

Code: Select all

PACKAGE_TARNAME='pspsdk'
PACKAGE_VERSION='1.0+beta2'
PACKAGE_STRING='pspsdk 1.0+beta2'
PACKAGE_BUGREPORT=''

--------------Another difficult way------------------

The problem is because of the automatic generated content of conftest.c is(according to config.log):

| /* confdefs.h. */
| #define PACKAGE_NAME "pspsdk"
| #define PACKAGE_TARNAME "pspsdk"
| #define PACKAGE_VERSION "1.0+beta2
"
| #define PACKAGE_STRING "pspsdk 1.0+beta2
"
| #define PACKAGE_BUGREPORT ""
| #define PACKAGE "pspsdk"
| #define VERSION "1.0+beta2"
| /* end confdefs.h. */
|
| int
| main ()
| {
|
| ;
| return 0;
| }

(EOF)

So that it can not recognize the code correctly.
################################
conftest.c:5: error: missing terminating " character
conftest.c:7: error: missing terminating " character
################################

The correct code is:

Code: Select all

/* confdefs.h.  */
#define PACKAGE_NAME "pspsdk"
#define PACKAGE_TARNAME "pspsdk"
#define PACKAGE_VERSION "1.0+beta2"
#define PACKAGE_STRING "pspsdk 1.0+beta2"
#define PACKAGE_BUGREPORT ""
#define PACKAGE "pspsdk"
#define VERSION "1.0+beta2"
/* end confdefs.h.  */

int
main &#40;&#41;
&#123;

  ;
  return 0;
&#125;

Save the code as a file with the name will not be removed by the ./configure(The file name should not start with "conf...") such as "asdf".
Then modify the ./configure by adding 3 lines:

First, near line 3045:

Code: Select all

ac_link_default=`echo "$ac_link" | sed 's/ -o *conftest&#91;^ &#93;*//'`

cp asdf conftest.c
#
# List of possible output files, starting from the most likely.

Second, near line 3170:

Code: Select all

echo $ECHO_N "checking for suffix of executables... $ECHO_C" >&6; &#125;

cp asdf conftest.c
if &#123; &#40;ac_try="$ac_link"

Third, near line 3232:

Code: Select all

rm -f conftest.o conftest.obj

cp asdf conftest.c
if &#123; &#40;ac_try="$ac_compile"

After the modification, running ./configure again will make it config correctly.

Though I know that is not recommended, I don't know what is the better way to solute.

This is because the line endings weren't converted right in the checkout. I would guess that you checked out the SVN repository using a Windows client like TortoiseSVN, but then tried to build the files under Cygwin and Ubuntu.

I've changed svn:eol-style to LF for this file in revision 2452 which should avoid this problem.

TurtoiseSVN/CVS have a preference for each repo on how to checkout the text as concerns the line endings. You don't need to change the svn, just make a note to Windows people about using the right mode on checkout. :)

I always used TortoiseSVN and windows Native SVN clients (no cygwin) with their default installation configuration and I don't run into line termination issues when running from the DOS command line or from MSys shell. I used the latest SVN 1.5.5 on several machines XP Pro, XP Media Center, Vista Home Basic, so I guess that is a Cygwin issue...
