If you’re running Xcode 3.2, get Apple to fix this bug. Workaround is to compile until it fails with the “duplicate symbol” error (check build.log), then do the mentioned workaround in gcc-4.4.0/gcc directory (changing Make-lang.in), then disable the rebuild of binutils, gcc (first stage) and newlib by setting
BUILD_BINUTILS=false
BUILD_GCC=false
BUILD_NEWLIB=false
BUILD_GCC_SECOND=true
in the build-xenon-toolchain. Then retry the build. It should finish the build.
Run the following commands through the console your using:
git clone
<git://github.com/Free60Project/libxenon.git>
cd libxenon/toolchain
./build-xenon-toolchain toolchain
The toolchain should start building (Note: This might take some time).
To give people a start who are not used to Linux but want to start coding, here it goes. In this example I am refering to Ubuntu/Debian.
First we install dependencies
apt-get install libgmp3-dev libmpfr-dev libmpc-dev texinfo git-core gettext build-essential
Now we create the target directory for the Toolchain & Libxenon and own it by the current user Note: If your distro has the “su” command to get superuser rights, get superuser before typing the commands in the following block. Note: If not, append “sudo” before those commands (example: “sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/xenon”)
mkdir -p /usr/local/xenon
chown -R your_regular_user:your_regular_user /usr/local/xenon
# exit the superuser-environment now!
Then we grab the toolchain from git and build it
git clone
<git://github.com/Free60Project/libxenon.git>
cd libxenon/toolchain
./build-xenon-toolchain toolchain
Note: If gcc building, 2nd stage, fails for you, do “apt-get install libgmp4-dev” and restart building process.
Note for Ubuntu users: If you encounter in the build.log following error:
configure: error: Building GCC requires GMP 4.2+, MPFR 2.3.2+ and MPC 0.8.0+.
Do the following:
cd gcc-4.6.1
wget
ftp://ftp.gmplib.org/pub/gmp-5.0.2/gmp-5.0.2.tar.bz2
tar xvjf gmp-5.0.2.tar.bz2 && mv gmp-5.0.2 gmp
wget
http://www.multiprecision.org/downloads/mpc-0.9.tar.gz
tar xvzf mpc-0.9.tar.gz && mv mpc-0.9 mpc
wget
https://www.mpfr.org/mpfr-3.0.1/mpfr-3.0.1.tar.gz
tar xvzf mpfr-3.0.1.tar.gz && mv mpfr-3.0.1 mpfr
cd ..
./build-xenon-toolchain toolchain
At the end of compiling it will tell you to add paths to your ~/.bashrc
# Get superuser rights first!
touch /etc/profile.d/devkitxenon.sh
chmod +x /etc/profile.d/devkitxenon.sh
# Now open the file and insert the two export lines
nano /etc/profile.d/devkitxenon.sh
# Insert the lines below in the text editor!
export DEVKITXENON="/usr/local/xenon"
export PATH="$PATH:$DEVKITXENON/bin:$DEVKITXENON/usr/bin"
Press Ctrl+O for saving the file and press ENTER if it asks for a filename Press Ctrl+X for closing nano
Have fun compiling your code ;)
