This reverts commit 593fe01bb8.
Binaries in binutils-armhf etc. break the build system:
Error loading shared library libopcodes-2.32.so: Exec format error (needed by /usr/bin/as)
Error loading shared library libbfd-2.32.so: Exec format error (needed by /usr/bin/as)
Error loading shared library libz.so.1: Exec format error (needed by /usr/bin/as)
Error relocating /usr/bin/as: bfd_errmsg: symbol not found
Error relocating /usr/bin/as: deflateEnd: symbol not found
Error relocating /usr/bin/as: bfd_arch_bits_per_address: symbol not found
Error relocating /usr/bin/as: bfd_set_error_program_name: symbol not found
Error relocating /usr/bin/as: xcalloc: symbol not found
Reverting for now. The upstream compatibility CI test is expected to fail.
The postmarketOS binary repositories still have the old binutils package.
I'm analyzing this issue in #295.
[ci:skip-vercheck]: package downgrade
This package should use the pmb:strict option, in order to force
pmbootstrap to always build it in strict mode. Otherwise it can have
a conflict with packages installed earlier.
I've just noticed that the merged patch was still using the early name
of the option, "pmbootstrap-strict". It was later changed to
"pmb:strict" in the related pmbootstrap!1771 merge request, for
consistency with !pmb:kconfig-check. Fix grub-x86 to use the proper
option name.
[ci:skip-vercheck]: version bump not needed
Adjust the depends of the GCC-8 cross compiler packages after the change
from pmbootstrap!1778. This does not have any effect (since the GCC-8
aports don't have !tracedeps in options, in contrary to the other GCC
aports we ship). But it makes sure that we don't get any changes after
running the repository maintenance script from here:
https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Repository_maintenance
[ci:skip-build]: cosmetic change, build would take too long anyway
Explicitly depend on mpc1. Our generated gcc aports use the !tracedeps
option, so we need to explicitly set the libraries it depends on.
This has mostly not been an issue, as we are installing our gcc
packages together with Alpine's gcc package, which causes the libraries
to get installed anyway.
Fixes#236.
[ci:skip-build]: takes too long to build.
Cross linker (e.g. ld from binutils-armhf) does not support any method
of setting additional link paths, and this causes problems when building
various packages. Work around this problem by calling the qemu binary
instead of the cross binary from the native chroot, whenever we are
linking.
I have tested that this allows successfully building hello-world,
coreinfo, libhybris for armhf. So this fixes#227 and fixes#228.
Regarding performance, this is the same way as distcc does it. We would
get a performance gain if we were able to use the cross-linker. But so
far I could not figure out how to patch the binutils source to make it
work like we want to have it. Maybe I'll ask on some binutils mailing
list for advice. In the meantime, this workaround should make
crossdirect work for all use-cases, and it is still faster than the
previous distcc setup, because we can avoid the overhead of setting up
and running a ssh server locally to work around missing authentication
in distcc (see pmbootstrap!1649). Let's test this for some more time,
and then make a pmbootstrap release that rolls out crossdirect for
everyone.
This device is x86_64 and has a 32-bit UEFI, so I need to install
32-bit grub (AFAIK it's the only bootloader capable of loading a 64-bit
kernel from 32-bit).
The grub-efi-x86 package has been generated with pmbootstrap.
Instead of running compilers directly, let them go through the native
ccache binary. Note that it will still use the foreign arches cache dir
because the native cache dir would be at /native/home/pmos/.ccache.
Use execve instead of setenv and execv, because that didn't work with
LD_LIBRARY_PATH (ccache was complaining that it couldn't load zlib).
Enable -Werror, because we are maintaining this program and it helps
us catching bugs early.
Create symlinks for all supported arches (armhf, armv7, aarch64, x86_64,
x86), not only armhf and aarch64. Skip creating symlinks for the arch
that the package gets built for, so we can include x86_64 in the list
without conflicting with the ccache package from Alpine.
Link to ../../../bin/ccache instead of /usr/bin/ccache, so it works
properly with crossdirect (where we mount the native chroot to /native
in the foreign chroot).
Add symlinks for clang and clang++.
A set of wrapper executables that launch native cross compilers inside
foreign chroots. Speeds up cross compilation a lot, compared to the
distcc-sshd method.
Make it possible to build old kernels with gcc4 for armv7 and aarch64.
The packages have been generated with (as usually):
$ pmbootstrap aportgen gcc4-aarch64 gcc4-armv7
[ci:skip-build]: I have tested that this builds locally.
Fixes#193.
Successfully tested both the gcc4 compiler on x86_64 with a simple
program (fbdebug) and the gcc4-armhf cross-compiler to build a very old
u-boot port for Galaxy Nexus (a MR will follow soon) which failed to
boot with either newer version (6 and 8).
[skip ci]: already went through
Run 'pmbootstrap aportgen gcc6-aarch64 gcc6-armhf' again and commit
the resulting changes, as these packages are meant to be always
auto-generated and therefore in sync with main/gcc6.
This changes the pkgver to 9999, as it was required in main/gcc6 to
avoid conflicts with Alpine's gcc6 package.
Regenerate these aports, so the test case does not complain anymore
that they are outdated. Adds armv7 to the arch lines, as that is the
aportgen change which was done in pmbootstrap!1730.
These can be manually generated when one really wants to cross compile
from arm to x86_64. Usually this is not needed, so let's save the
compile time. [skip ci]
This covers most use cases and saves a lot of build time. Can be
changed on demand. Again, this simplifies package building as part of
the new build infrastructure effort. [skip ci]
I thought only having specific symlinks was enough, and it was for one
kernel. However, to make sure it works with all kernels, let's just add
symlinks for all the binutils.
