build script not functioning

[schneidersoft]

After running the clone script I run the build script but it fails to build.

Did i miss a step? or is it a bug?

Well it can't find the directory with the cloned binutils repo, even though it apparently was created. From the toolchain directory can you run

ls ..

Assuming this shows a binutils directory, can you then try changing to it.

cd ../binutils

If that works, can you then go back and try changing to the absolute path directory

cd -
cd /home/maximilian/projects/avr32/binutils

Basically the avr32-versions.sh script seems to be reporting it can't find the above directory. I can only think there is a problem with symbolic links or directory permissions. Let me know how you get on. As you can see we haven't worked on this project for 6 years!

[schneidersoft]

I haven't work with an avr32 chip in quite some time as well :) but i've got a legacy project i need to revive!
obviously the tools complain because they cannot find ~/projects/avr32/binutils ... it doesn't exist.
~/projects/avr32/toolchain/binutils does but ~/projects/avr32/binutils does not.

I worked around the problem by copying the binutils folder one level down.
looks like this now:

maximilian@debian:~/projects/avr32/toolchain$ ls
avr32-clone-all.sh  avr32-versions.sh  binutils  build-all.sh  build-avr32-gnu-toolchain.sh  ChangeLog  gcc  gdb  newlib  patchbuild.sh  patches  README.md  SOURCES.README
maximilian@debian:~/projects/avr32/toolchain$ cd ..
maximilian@debian:~/projects/avr32$ ls
bd-3.4.2  binutils  gcc  gdb  logs-3.4.2  newlib  patches  toolchain

binutils builds now but fails when it gets to building the docs...
any way to skip building the documentation?

[jeremybennett]

OK - that's a bug in the avr32-clone-all.sh script. It should clone the repos as peers of the toolchain repo. It is missing a check to get into the correct directory at the start.

For now, quick fix is to move the binutils, gcc, newlib and gdb repos up one directory. From the toolchain directory:

mv binutils ..
mv gcc ..
mv newlib ..
mv gdb ..

What is the error when building the docs. Do you have all the tool chain pre-requisites installed -notably Texinfo. I think the only documentation being built will be the info files. Not sure how to turn that off though.

makeinfo fails with error code 1. texinfo is installed. I figured if there was a dependency i didn't have it would fail and tell me.

if makeinfo --split-size=5000000 -I "/home/maximilian/projects/avr32/binutils/binutils/doc" -I "/home/maximilian/projects/avr32/binutils/binutils/../libiberty" -I "/home/maximilian/projects/avr32/binutils/binutils/../bfd/doc" -I ../../bfd/doc  -I /home/maximilian/projects/avr32/binutils/binutils/doc \

then \
  rc=0; \
else \
  rc=$?; \
  $restore $backupdir/* `echo "./binutils.info" | sed 's|[^/]*$||'`; \
fi; \
rm -rf $backupdir; exit $rc

make[2]: *** [Makefile:352: binutils.info] Error 1

[schneidersoft]

I was able to work around the docs my modifying the makefiles produced during the build.
I could not find a flag to disable the docs at config time. so i ended up running configure, make modifying the Makefile and running make again.
It's not clean but it worked.
This was necessary for gcc-bootstap as well as gcc. newlib built automatically. I did not build GDB.

[jeremybennett]

Glad you were able to solve it. Not sure what has got corrupted in the TexInfo. I'll try to investigate some time.

I have encountered similar problem. I get this error

I also ran into issues with makeinfo. I was able to disable building those docs by adding MAKEINFO=true to various make calls in the build script. I ran into later issues with multiple definitions for which I had to modify some source files in binutils and gcc. All of these have been implemented in my fork if anyone is interested. Build was successful on my machine running WSL Ubuntu 24.04 with GCC 13.3.0.
