Re: Building toolchain for eCOS

Hello,

i would like to build a i386-elf toolchain under Windows (Cygwin installed) by myself. I strictly followed the instructions on the eCOS page:

http://sources.redhat.com/ecos/build-toolchain.html

Building Binutils worked without problems.
If i build GCC i the following error occurs:

gnu-regex.o(.text+0x6556): In function `regerror´:
/src/gcc-3.2.1/gcc/fixinc/gnu-regex.c:5723: undefined reference to `__mempcpy´

Don't ask me how it's happened, but something at the configure stage has tested for the existence of mempcpy... and as a result HAVE_MEMPCPY was defined in gcc/auto-host.h in your build directory. gnu-regex.c appears to actually use __mempcpy i.e. with double underscores, though. I'd say edit your gnu-regex.c to change __mempcpy to mempcpy.


This could have been due to some recent change in cygwin that we haven't yet had a chance to notice ourselves. But then that's one of the reasons we are supplying prebuilt tools with 2.0 (including i386-elf for windows) so we don't have to worry about the extra problems with people building tools!
