Compiling Ubuntu 12.04

[cesaraugust...@richmond.edu]

Hi. First of all, congratulations for the project. I've checked your webpage and it is, at least, an interesting project!

Looking over different forums, blogs (and Google replies) it is one of the ARM emulators top references.

Well, by this time I wasn't able to test by myself because I'm not able to compile it... I felt a lack of a tutorial or step-by-step on the "how-to's". I think it's an interesting suggestion (I would myself help on doing one, right after I make mine run).

Anyway, after downloading the referenced dependencies (libc6, libgcc1, libgtkmm-3.0-1, libglibmm-2.4-1c2a, libsigc++0c2, libxml++2.6-2. Those were the ones available via apt-get), I unzipped the ARMware-0.4.7z into my home folder. Inside the ARMWare folder, simply typing "make", I got the following message:

Do you have a clue on what can it be?

As an extra, my Ubuntu is 32-bit and it's running on VMWare Player.

Thanks in advance,

Cesar.

Dear Cesar,

ARMware is written in the time of GCC 4.0, and different GCC versions have different restrictions and minor behavior changes.

Hence, if you use latest GCC to build, you will encounter these warnings or errors.

If you use GCC 4.0 to build, I think you will see no warnings/errors, because I clean all of them under GCC 4.0.

I think it is not hard to port ARMware to newer GCC, you can try it.

(I am too busy to finish this task...)

Wei.
