Well, it tries to do this because it's correct. mkdep is a program which will be executed on IRIX, not Linux, so the native compiler cc or gcc should be used. Therefore HOSTCC is wired to cc. The configuration script will select the correct prefix for the tool names for you based on the byteorder you are compiling for and if you're doing native or a crosscompile. In your case the value mips-linux- for CROSS_COMPILE is correct. > when i try to to some compilations by hand, like (in the kernel source root): > > mips-linux-gcc -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -o scripts/mkdep scripts/mkdep.c > > i get the following errors: > > In file included from /usr/local/mips-linux/include/linux/fcntl.h:4, > from /usr/local/mips-linux/include/fcntlbits.h:24, > from /usr/local/mips-linux/include/fcntl.h:33, > from /usr/local/mips-linux/include/sys/fcntl.h:1, > from scripts/mkdep.c:9: > /usr/local/mips-linux/include/asm/fcntl.h:55: parse error before `__kernel_off_t' > /usr/local/mips-linux/include/asm/fcntl.h:55: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union > /usr/local/mips-linux/include/asm/fcntl.h:56: warning: data definition has no type or storage class > /usr/local/mips-linux/include/asm/fcntl.h:58: parse error before `l_pid' > /usr/local/mips-linux/include/asm/fcntl.h:58: warning: data definition has no type or storage class > /usr/local/mips-linux/include/asm/fcntl.h:60: parse error before `}' > /usr/local/mips-linux/include/asm/fcntl.h:60: warning: data definition has no type or storage class Which libc did you install?

I spent last night rebuilding alot of RPM packages from RedBat 4.2. Many of them built fine without changes. Top problems which prevented rebuilding I found are - bugs in the new VFS layer of 2.1.43 - patch + glibc don't seem to work too well (These two are the most annoying) - We don't have yet a (reliable) port of X. Miguel de Icaza is working on that, especially on a X server for the Indy. - Neither RedHat nor any of the other availble distributions has a concept of bootstrapping out on a system where almost nothing is installed. So it's an annoying game to find out which packages to build in which order ... - Static linking is currently broken. Still many people use it as part of some kind of safety concept not noticing that a large fraction of userland programs will pull in the shared libraries vi the NSS mechanism anyway ... - On some configurations we still have problems with bad UDP/IP packets. This though I fixed a couple of endian bugs in the checksum code during the last days. Right now it seems that the Indy and M700 (using NE2000) are not affected by the problem, while P4032 and RM200 spit a good number of bad packets. Right now I guess we've got some other problem, maybe memory corruption.

This is what Erik Troan suggested at the very beginning of the porting process: This is a mail from November 29 1995, when we had just the cross-compiled libc (and this was based on the RPM 1.x which used perl, so that explains why he lists perl as one of the very first things to port): > Here's a good starting point: > > MAKEDEV SysVinit adduser bash bdflush cpio crontabs dev > dialog diffutils e2fsprogs etcskel file fileutils findutils > getty_ps grep gzip initscripts less libcsparc ncompress > ncurses net-tools npasswd perl procps psmisc rootfiles rpm > sed setup sh-utils sysklogd tar termcap textutils time > util-linux vim > > This will get you something useable.

They will be. For now you can get yourself a snapshot of the kernel source from our CVS archive on linus.linux.sgi.com in /pub/linux/mips/testing/. Those who want to access / mirror the CVS archive itself can access it on /cvs via anon ftp. Sorry, no real anon CVS yet. The bad new for you is that I haven't yet put the required Magnum 4k bugfixes in. Too much other stuff was borken. Someone sent me a patch but I wanted something cleaner. Those who have read the old head.S know why I say that.

The problem is that the GCC version of assert.h will not include but autoconf generated configure scripts rely on that. If you ever wondered why loading programs caused warnings like 'the function lchown is not implemented and will always fail', this is caused by the wrong assert.h. Quick fix: rm //include/assert.h, for example. rm /usr/local/mipsel-linux/include/assert.h. Note that this applies to both native and crosscompilers. None of them will install the assert.h file in /usr/include/.

While on the subject of buying MIPS boxes, I've had a hell of a time trying to contact Siemens-Nixdorf to buy an RM200. I've sent e-mail to five different addresses on five separate occasions for the past two weeks and I have yet to receive a good response! The addresses I contacted in Germany referred me to their California office, from which I never got a response. Does anybody know if SNI still sells RM200's and, if so, how much they cost?

Thanks for your responce. In the end We will be building some special hardware, but I want to get the software sorted out first on someone elses known to be working hardware. I think the R5000 will do the job nicely. They seem to have an evaluation board thet plugs into the 4600 evaluation board (79S465). Do you know the email of someone working on this? As an aside do you know anyone who has written a native FORTH for the mips ( for the critical real time processors).

One of the sympthoms of the old versions were such spurious errors that may magically disappear when adding kernel debugging code. Other bugs related to userspace access were fixed in arch/mips/kernel/syscall.c. I, btw, have used the kernel version from the CVS (except Miguel's console changes for X) for several days now without major problems on a Indy. But I still haven't found where all the bad packets that my other machines spit out come from. They're pretty annoying as they result in NFS timeouts, sometimes even lockups.

My machine was about $3800 about 18 month ago. Yes, they're still selling MIPS machines. You should probably try to contact someone of their office in Munich again. Ralf PS: If you think this is difficult, then try contacting Acer about their MIPS machines. Have fun ...

I've seen your workaround on the Indy being triggered but sine I fixed one of the other not directly networking related bugs everything seems to work fine. I had the machine up for more than two days and not a single NFS timeout. Thomas Bogendoerfer reports the same for a M700 using a NE2000. But on the other machines I've tested (P4032, RM200 both using onboard ethernet) this bug strikes very often. The fact that Thomas can use networking without that problem also eleminates another byteorder problem as cause.

I have a borrowed DECstation 3100 that I can experiment with for a while. It has been running Ultrix 4.4, but I would like to have a go at getting Linux up on it. It comes complete with an expansion box, with (mumble) megs of hard disk on board. It's currently surplus to my project's needs, but will eventually have to be given back when someone finds a real business use for it (hah!) I have had a look at the Porting Page, the Linux/MIPS FAQ, the Linux MIPS HOWTO, and need a push in the appropriate direction from here. I run Linux 2.0.0 on an i386 type PC, from a modified Slackware distro. My systems programming experience is low, I have spent most of the last few years hacking in an application language called EPL, but what I lack in experience I hope to make up for with determination.

It's only tested on a Olivetti M700. When testing this driver be prepared to lose all your data on your harddrive (I've lost my Windows NT partition). You can find the patch here: ftp://ftp.franken.de/pub/people/tsbogend/m700-970710-diff.gz It is relative to linux-970710 from ftp.linux.sgi.com/pub/linux/mips/testing. Don't look too close at some parts of the patch (especially on the wired mapping stuff), because they are only quick hack to bring up a current kernel on the M700. Most of the esp.c changes has been done by the m68k people, but I left out all of the amiga driver to save space.

I fixed this ages ago and > it made lat_ctx.c compile just fine. It has nothing to do with local label semantics of GCC; I can easily trigger the problem in plain assembler using local or nonlocal labels. Maybe you were still using a non-PIC lat_ctx at that time? The problem only affects PIC. Another explanation would be that the size of the cacheflushing loop in lmbench was somewhen increased or the GCC variant you used generates different branches.

Important changes: - changed mapping of interrupt levels. Most of the onboard devices now use interrupts > 15 - added configuration option for JAZZ_ESP - fixed bug with freeing of vdma address space in floppy driver (looks like this one is present since a long time) I also tried to fix the scsi chip detection and the sonic ethernet driver. The chip detection works most of the time for me, but when it fails it picks up fashme mode, which doesn't work with the fas216. So I hardcoded the fas216 chip. If anybody has an idea to solve this, please mail me. The sonic works now a little bit better, but it crashes evertime I try to do some real work over NFS (it doesn't really crash, but it gives constant NFS server fails, and I see checksum errors on my Alpha). You can find the new patch on ftp://ftp.franken.de/pub/people/tsbogend/mips/ There is also a patch for milo-0.27.1, which fixes elf2coff for machines where long is 64bit wide (Alphas for example). The more important feature of the patch s, that it disables the splitted read/writes for Olivetti machines, which reduces boot time from harddisk to a few seconds.

The Magnum firmware has at least in some versions the bug that after calls to the ARC Seek() function Read() and Write() calls for more than 512 bytes will crash the machine. The current workaround in Milo is to read in chunks of 512 bytes on these machines. Apparently this is not necessary on the Olivetti M700 which otherwise is a 99% Magnum clone. Side effect of this workaround is a very bad performance. Reading a kernel from a floppy on a Magnum takes almost five minutes and booting from harddisk is not so much faster. Someone who has a machine that is actually plagued by this bug could try to find a better workaround for it.

This is the command to use to configure libc (assuming you use tcsh): ( setenv CC "mips-linux-gcc -pipe" && setenv BUILD_CC gcc && ../configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared --enable-profile=no --enable-omitfp --enable-add-ons=crypt,linuxthreads,localedata --build=mips-mips-irix6.2 mips-linux ) ... or in UNIX everything is a oneliner ;-) Be warned: don't just type "make install", when the compilation is done. You would overinstall parts of IRIX with GNU libc which is pretty unhealthy for your IRIX system ... You should use something like: make install_root= install where stands for the root of the Linux filesystem. You will also need GCC-2.7.2-6 to build libc successfull, but this wasn't your problem. Oh, there are libc binaries for download :-) > (btw: is there any good documentation about (cross)compiling glibc ?) No, not yet.

There are still two one line fixes to the kernel required to make modules work. I'll check them in asap. Many modules are working reliable while other don't work at all. I suppose there is still some bug in the relocation code. Try 'en and check if they work for you. When modutils are finally debugged I'll release normal tar.gz source packages and binaries on the usual FTP sites. Another note about modules affects the performance. Modules are allocated in kernel virtual memory which starts from 0xc0000000 upward. This exceeds the range of the R_MIPS_16 relocation for j and jal instructions. Therefore modules have to be compiled using the option -mlong-jumps which replaces j and jal instructions by la jr/jalr sequences. These take twelve instead for four bytes and are a bit slower. There are more efficient way to solve this problem but these are also more complex. Simple rules to optimize module code when using -mlong-jump: - Try to call as view external functions as possible. Only calls to external functins are affected by -mlong-jumps. - Taking the address of a function and calling it via a function pointer is advantageous for repeated calls. This is a problematic specific to MIPS. The other considerations that apply to modules on Intel machines apply unchanged to MIPS. Probably not worth to write that much about ...

Quick fix: on your Intel RedHat box do the following: cd rpm2cpio | cpio -i --verbose You now have rpm installed and can type the following on your MIPS box: rpm --initdb rpm --install The first line will make shure you have a valid database of installed packages, the second line will install rpm again.

At least for now the primary direction will be to support more of the available periphery options for the Indy. Current work is mostly directed to making the SGI X Servers run under Linux binary compatilibity. Oh, and of course we (cross fingers ...) support everything in the future, there will never be again bugs, SGI will drop IRIX and more ;-) Ralf From ryan@ravage.labs.gmu.edu Wed Jul 30 20:35:32 1997 Received: from ravage.labs.gmu.edu ([129.174.166.55]) by guadalquivir.fnet.fr with ESMTP (8.8.5/97.02.12/Guadalquivir); id UAA23752; Wed, 30 Jul 1997 20:35:27 +0200 (MET DST) Received-Date: Wed, 30 Jul 1997 20:35:27 +0200 (MET DST) Received: from localhost (ryan@localhost) by ravage.labs.gmu.edu (8.8.6/8.8.6) with SMTP id OAA29454 for ; Wed, 30 Jul 1997 14:35:13 -0400 Date: Wed, 30 Jul 1997 14:35:13 -0400 (EDT) From: Ryan Reply-To: Ryan To: linux-mips@fnet.fr Subject: Jazz SCSI In-Reply-To: <199707271937.VAA21093@informatik.uni-koblenz.de> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Content-Length: 1256 Lines: 28 I untarred a fresh linux-970710 image and applied the m700-diff-2.diff patch, and tried to compile the kernel.
