Rockbox Development > Starting Development and Compiling

Anz advice for compiling on OS X

<< < (2/2)

linuxstb:
gcc is installed as part of XCode - which is freely available from Apple.  Just google for "xcode".

I quite often develop on my iBook, and it works fine - you don't need any vmware or similar kludges, Mac OS X is a full Unix operating system, and hence is natively capable of running the tools required to build Rockbox.

After some google search i've read, that it was supplied on the Leopard installation disc.
After installing i invoke the the command gcc -v  and it shows up.
After this i ran in some more dificulties...See follow-up


--- Quote ---I'm not quite sure that i follow but you need gcc installed for rockboxdev.sh to be able to compile the crosscompiler. If you have gcc installed and rockboxdev.sh can't find it there could be some kind of path problem but I have no idea how to fix that on macos...

Wel i invoke the ../tools/rockboxdev command, i 'll get permission acces denied,
some r/w rights.
I invoke the sudo ../tools... command, oke i'm back o track, but it ends with the Make error,
This are the last lines:

       FATAL:/usr/bin/../libexec/gcc/darwin/i386/as: I don't understand 'm' flag!
       make[1]: *** [crtbegin.o] Error 1
       make: *** [install-gcc] Error 2
       done

The ..toools/configure command stops, it can't find ggc,
in the dir   /usr/local/m68k-elf/  there is not any bin files at all , only some info files and language.  
I have saved the complete listing about 240kB
On request i will upload the listing
Maybe it isn't compatible with Darwin 9.1.0-gcc ??

Any ideas?

I'm using Tiger, so can't confirm that Apple haven't broken things with Leopard...

What does "gcc -v" display?

Well i have try this before to be sure,  i could also make mistakes, but no doubt about it.

Screen-output:

gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
Target: i686-apple-darwin9
Configured with: /var/tmp/gcc/gcc-5465~16/src/configure --disable-checking -enable-werror --prefix=/usr --mandir=/share/man    --enable-languages=c,objc,c++,obj-c++ --program-transform-name=/^[cg][^.-]*$/s/$/-4.0/ --with-gxx-include-dir=/include/c++/4.0.0  --with-slibdir=/usr/lib --build=i686-apple-darwin9 --with-arch=apple --with-tune=generic --host=i686-apple-darwin9    --target=i686-apple-darwin9
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5465)


It should work with Rockbox, but maybe the gcc compiler have not the 'right' lib's or settings, but i can not explain this,
with minor knowledge about LInux and gcc.
