psptoolchain broken?

uberjack · Post by **uberjack** » Thu Nov 06, 2008 9:05 am

I'm getting an error running psptoolchain:

I'm running ubuntu, and I have all the prerequisites (I've also installed toolchain successfully at different times). Any ideas?

Looks like a bug in binutils that is being detected by a new version of GCC (or libssp or whatever) on the host. I'd see if you can disable libssp; either at runtime or when binutils is built. The other solution would be to upgrade pspsdk's binutils port to the latest version, although that might be tricky.

Ack! They both sound complicated, but thanks for the suggestion :)

The solution there is "install an older version of gcc on the host". Was hoping for something better, but it's a start :)

I got the exact same error installing on Ubuntu 8.10.

we're all getting I guess

I seem to remember a similar problem a few releases of Ubuntu ago.

2.- built the toolchain, and at this point I run into a lot of trouble...
it seemed like an easy thing to do, just ./toolchain PS2, but I had problems because my ubuntu version was gcc-4.0, and I needed gcc-3.3.
No problem, apt-get install gcc-3.3, set up the CC variable to /usr/bin/gcc·3.3

http://forums.ps2dev.org/viewtopic.php?t=5413

I haven't upgraded to 8.10 yet so I can't test, but I imagine something similar could be done here.

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install gcc-4.2
CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 sudo ./toolchain-sudo.sh

uberjack · Post by **uberjack** » Fri Nov 07, 2008 6:48 am

Yeah, I installed gcc 4.2, and 'ln -s'ed gcc and g++ to the 4.2 versions. I'm trying to compile toolchain now - so far so good - I'll post if everything goes well.

uberjack · Post by **uberjack** » Fri Nov 07, 2008 8:04 am

Here's what I did to get the toolchain to compile:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install gcc-4.2
sudo rm /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/g++
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-4.2 /usr/bin/gcc
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/g++-4.2 /usr/bin/g++

Then run toolchain-sudo. Afterwards, to restore gcc and g++ back to 4.3:

Code: Select all

sudo rm /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/g++
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-4.3 /usr/bin/gcc
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/g++-4.3 /usr/bin/g++

Hope it helps. Thanks for your help, everyone

Good to know, but you could probably get away with just setting the CC variable in the command line. No need to add links temporarily.

uberjack · Post by **uberjack** » Fri Nov 07, 2008 7:10 pm

That worked better, thanks - with a small modification (export):

Code: Select all

 ## Set up the environment.
 export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.2
 export PSPDEV=/usr/local/pspdev

Hi,

could a Dev please apply the below patch to the toolchains' readme-ubuntu.txt? This makes explicit that gcc-4.2 is required and higher versions break the build.

Thanks,
Mik

I don't think gcc-4.2 is required -- earlier versions should work too. Can we make the check a bit smarter to:
- check the gcc or $CC version and see if it's bad
- if bad, see if gcc-4.2 is available
- if available, use it, otherwise complain

Another plan would be to just find and fix the real bug that's causing problems with gcc-4.3.

Just a note, but for some reason(Well, for very clear reasons in that it's just not compatible) the toolchain compiles perfectly with no previous psp* stuff installed, while it fails with the older stuff already installed.
