[MiNT] binutils-2.18-mint-20080119
Dear MiNT developers,
I have just updated my patches and Cygwin binaries.
They are available at the usual place:
http://vincent.riviere.free.fr/soft/m68k-atari-mint/
This is not a revolution, I simply fixed what was broken in the previous
build, thanks to your reports and fixes. All the patches had been posted
here.
I updated the MiNTLib to the current CVS version. I added only the
critical bugfixes posted here: _stksize in .data and input from the TOS
console.
The binutils can now be compiled natively on MiNT with GCC 2.95.3 and
without additional patching. In order to remove the requirement for
makeinfo (not provided by EasyMiNT and too old on Sparemint), you can
avoid building the documentation by applying the following substitution
in the source directory, before running configure:
sed -i "s:^SUBDIRS = doc po$:SUBDIRS = po:g" bfd/Makefile.in
I replaced the binutils 2.13 provided by EasyMiNT by the natively built
binutils 2.18. I successfully compiled (with GCC 2.95.3 and binutils
2.18) a simple "Hello, World !" in C and C++. So it seems that the
binutils 2.18 are binary compatible with binutils 2.13. That's good new,
because I wasn't sure at all it was the case. However, it should require
additional testing !
Futhermore, I successfully built the latest MiNTLib with that setup (GCC
2.95.3 and binutils 2.18). I adjusted the stack of the different tools
to 256K. The final link worked as expected (this is for you, MiKRO). I
replaced /usr/lib/libc.a with the newly built one, and the "Hello, World
!" compiled again. That seems very good.
If you have messed up your system with several tools and libraries, I
suggest you to link your programs with the following command:
gcc hello.c -o hello.o -Wl,--verbose
That way you will know where the linked objects come from.
That's all for now !
