[LinuxBIOS] build target - error

[anitha boyapati]

Hi,

I heard about linuxbios a couple of days back.I checked out sources and
here I am building it. I follow documentation given in
linuxbios/documentation.As a starting point I am trying demo example.[Mine
is not amd though]

[ cd targets ]
 [sh buildtarget amd/solo]
 [cd amd/solo/solo]
 [ make]

The build isnot successfull.I get the error as :
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
././auto.inc:84655: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character
is
`"'
././auto.inc:87289: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character

`/cygdrive/e/bios/LinuxBIOSv2/targets/amd/solo/solo/n
ormal'
make: *** [normal/linuxbios.rom] Error 1

Can somebody help me out? I work with cygwin -NT 5.1.gcc version is 3.4.4.
 Thnks in advance.

There isn't any support for building under cygwin so you are sort of on 
your own.  I suspect that buildtarget didn't generate a proper config 
file or makefile.  Do you have access to a linux machine where you can 
do a build and then compare the 2 directories?

Also look at the output from buildtarget. Did it give any errors?

Hi,

I started compiling on ubuntu this time.(GCC-4.0.3). I seemed to be having
problems with payloads

Here is the err list when i tried to 'make' the demo example from docs.:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

cp linuxbios_ram.nrv2b linuxbios_ram.rom
gcc -m32 -nostdlib -nostartfiles -static -o linuxbios -T ldscript.ld crt0.o
nm -n linuxbios | sort > linuxbios.map
objcopy --gap-fill 0xff -O binary linuxbios linuxbios.strip
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `../../../payloads/tg3--ide_disk.zelf',
needed by `payload'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/media/hda6/bios/LinuxBIOSv2/targets/amd/solo/solo/normal'
make: *** [normal/linuxbios.rom] Error 1

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So whats this? I  have checked out twice just incase I missed some
files.Anyhelp is appreciated.

You need to change the 'payload' lines in targets/amd/solo/Config.lb to point
to the payload file you want to use. The file
"../../../payloads/tg3--ide_disk.zelf" doesn't exist on your system, right?

Change that to /home/foo/whatever.elf, where that file is a payload
image (e.g. FILO), see http://linuxbios.org/Payloads.

Uwe.

Your assembler doesn't understand ELF-style asm dialect.

Try using as cross-compiler to Linux (or, just use Linux
itself).

It looks like some \n vs \r\n problem. There's invisible junk at the end
of every single line.

Probably requires a patch to romcc or an extra "dos2unix" run.

It complains about a double quote, not about the empty
string.  It also doesn't know ".previous", at which point
it is time to give up ;-)

Nah, LinuxBIOS' assembler code assumes GAS+ELF so you better
use that and not some other assembler ;-)

You could add code to LB so that it explains what's wrong
if no suitable assembler is selected.
