Build failure on Mac OS X 10.5

[peddamat]

Hi Friends,

I installed the arm-elf-gcc 4.1.1 toolchain using MacPorts.  After checking out the Rockbox source and running configure, my build fails with the following:

Code: [Select]

OBJCOPY rockbox.bin
Build firmware file
File encoded successfully
make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
MAKE in Tremor
make[3]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
MAKE in libmad
make[3]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
MAKE in libffmpegFLAC
make[3]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
OBJCOPY flac.codec
arm-elf-objcopy: /Users/me/rockbox/rockbox/build/apps/codecs/flac.codec: No space left on device
make[2]: *** [/Users/me/rockbox/rockbox/build/apps/codecs/flac.codec] Error 1
make[1]: *** [build-codecs] Error 2
make: *** [build] Error 2

After a bit of sleuthing, I've figured out that things go nutty when arm-elf-objcopy is going through ./build/apps/codecs/ converting the .elf files into .codec files (binary format).  Each .codec file that gets generated is ~4 Gigs in size, which rapidly fills up my harddrive and causes a build failure.  I'm assuming this is not normal behavior.

Does anyone know why this is happening?  Is version gcc 4.1.1 buggy?


Thanks,

I think the standard unix directions should apply to MacOS:

Have you tried the build script?

Thanks for the pointer.  I'll try the instructions here:

http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/CrossCompiler

and let you know how it went.

***UPDATE***

I tried the rockboxdev.sh build script and it failed with the following errors...

Googling came up with: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-help/2003-11/msg00209.html , but my error doesn't seem to be caused by 'as'.  It looks like 'xgcc' is the culprit. 

I'll try a few more things and check back later. 

Best,

I'm still using 10.4 Tiger, but I installed gcc using the Xcode 3.0 package, and used the rockboxdev.sh script found in the source to get the development environment set up.

I haven't tried checking out anything from MacPorts or Fink, but if MacPorts doesn't work for you, try the packages in Fink.
