please report this here: https://github.com/cahirwpz/fd2sfd

[bebbo]

guess:

$(INSTALL_SCRIPT) cross/bin/gg-fix-includes $(bindir) 

should be

$(INSTALL_SCRIPT) $(srcdir)/cross/bin/gg-fix-includes $(bindir)

@nbriggs this one compiles now fine on Solaris 11.4.42 CBE

But it would be great if you could share the configs you did to build on Solaris.

[nbriggs]

@isoriano1968 - hmm, I updated to the latest amiga-gcc (master, f10c225) and things fail in different ways -- binutils/gdbsupport/agent.o won't build (../gnulib/config.h:1693:72: error: ‘malloc’ attribute argument 1 is ambiguous) and fd2sfd still doesn't install (bebbo's guess about the fix is not right, and cahirwpz hasn't fixed it).

You are right, I was mislead by the circumstance that fd2sfd is in /opt/amiga/bin .. in gdb I do get the same error as you.

Btw. did you had to change aout-amiga.c as well due to the "extern PTR" declaration? That was failing first.

[nbriggs]

Yes, I did have to change the "extern PTR" declaration to get to the point that other things failed.
I'm starting again from a completely clean repo (and sub projects) and doing "make min" instead of "make all" to see how far it gets.

[isoriano1968]

Sounds good, Bebbo has also a more "recent" gcc cc in the works ..but I think we would have to update our pre-installed gcc toolchain first.

[nbriggs]

The Solaris system I'm using has gcc 12.2.0 installed (along with 7.5.0, 9.3.0, 10.3.0, and 11.2.0). I'm told by an Oracle dude that they plan (but do not yet have a schedule for) another Solaris 11.4 CBE release, since 11.4.42 CBE is getting pretty long in the tooth now. It's a bit of a pain to build more recent versions of open source software in their "userland" checked out from git, so a precompiled set of packages would be very welcome.

[nbriggs]

@isoriano1968 - "make min" in a pristine repo (and sub project repos) seems to be OK. I'll open another issue for the oddities I noticed.
