#1739 closed enhancement

Include a build system script to generate a proper 'develop' directory on Haiku — at Version 7

Description (last modified by nielx)

The build system should have support for creating a working development environment on Haiku.

This means creating a '/boot/develop/' structure and including a working GCC 2.95.3 in that.

It might also mean installing the Makefile engine that is used by a lot of projects, but that's open for interpretation.

Fix for building the legacy gcc compiler for haiku

comment:1 by nielx, 16 years ago

Adding one note: the gcc patches do not break creating a cross-compiler on linux.

comment:2 by nielx, 16 years ago

Some more poking around. Building a native gcc 4.1.2 with a cross-compiler fails because the cross-linker accepts undefined symbols in applications. This should only happen in shared libraries (and perhaps static). Does anybody know where to look to to change this behavior? Thanks!

Another update. I managed to get configure to work correctly by passing the '-z defs' option, which is passed on to the linker. How do i put this in the specs?

Making this a blocker. Even though my script might not make it, this ticket can be used as an umbrella for everything needed to build haiku on haiku.

Actually, I prefer one ticket per issue. I get confused by tickets which mention multiple different types of issues. Sometimes even comments introduce new (sometimes related sometimes not really related) issues. Then you can't close a ticket without reading all the comments first to see if something would be missed. That's why a prefer one ticked per distinct, precise issue.

I agree with Stephan.

The only thing still missing is a downloadable zip file containing a native gcc, BTW. I intend to create one when I actually get around to finishing the tool chain port.

Well, I agree too, and the summary of this tickets states that the issue is to create a setting in the build system that creates a proper working develop directory. I updated the description to match the summary. Consider this ticket as a step in the self-hosting requirement.
