rockboxdev.sh - mac 10.6

[lenny]

I'm trying to build an arm toolchain on snow leopard. After several minutes the process fails with this error:

Code: [Select]

arm-elf-ar  rc ./libgcc.a libgcc/./_udivsi3.o libgcc/./_divsi3.o libgcc/./_umodsi3.o libgcc ..........
make[2]: *** [libgcc.a] Abort trap
make[2]: *** Deleting file `libgcc.a'
make[1]: *** [stmp-multilib] Error 2
make: *** [all-gcc] Error 2

Any ideas?

Edit: here is the complete log file.

same here with the Dec 20 build.
Also tried revision 22849 (from the release date of version 3.4) and it had the same problem.

I have the same problem.
Is there a solution in the meantime?

You can always try the VM method.

The new eabi toolchain is recommended for building ar targets now, please try with that instead

I have the same problem.

I've given that another try and managed to successfully build the eabi toolchain on 10.6. Since I have MacPorts installed it would be great to see if there are any side effects caused by that. Please try the patch at FS#11643 -- if it works fine for you I'll commit it.

When I try to patch the script with the command
patch -p1 < rockboxdev-osx106-1.diff

I get the following message:

patching file rockboxdev.sh
Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected!  Assume -R? [n]

Shall I confirm with "y" or is this a problem?

You don't need to apply that patch, its already in SVN (which is why patch is telling you its already applied).
