Re: [tao-users] Cross compiling TAO, GPERF issues.

[William Otte]

Hi nick

Gperf was renamed ace_gperf a few releases ago. 

Could you please fill out the PROBLEM-REPORT-FORM found in TAO_ROOT?

Thanks

Hi All.

 

I'm in the process of building the latest micro release of TAO for one of our bits of kit which runs an ARM processer.

 

I'm following the instructions in the TAO installation guide for cross compilation but have run in to a problem.

 

I've set up the platform-macros.GNU file to point at the cross compiler and have added the 3 lines at the bottom of the file to locate the TAO_idl executables for the host.

 

The problem I've got is that it can't find gperf. My understanding is that gperf should have been built at the same time I built ACE for the host system and that it should be located in ACE_wrappers/bin. The only thing I can find which is remotely similar is an executable called ace_gperf but pointing the platform_macros.gnu at this doesn't work either. I've tried going in to ACE_wrappers/aps/gperf and calling make but that doesn't generate gperf at the ACE_wrappers/bin directory I was expecting.

 

Can someone spot where I'm going wrong? Below I've pasted the content of my global.features file as I'm guessing I've turned off something which makes gperf build.

 

As prep to put this email together I've just read through my global.features file again and I've noticed an option, "cross_compile = 0", which would indicate cross compilation is turned off, what happens if I turn this on?

 

Thanks for any help.

Nick.

Sorry, was meant to send the below to the list.
I'll blame the fact its still a Monday, That's my excuse and I'm
sticking to it.
Hi Will.

Thanks for the answer, I did a rebuild using the new platform_macros.gnu
file with specifically stating ace_gperf and I got one step farther.
I'll put together a PRF as I've got a couple of comments about the
documentation for cross compiling which could be improved and if its OK
I'll do one report form at the end of the process.

The new problem I've got is that now its found gperf it doesn't seem to
work very well.
Below is a summary of a bunch of warnings and one error I'm getting
which is stopping me moving forward.

For context #home/c4i/nicksStuff/ACE_wrappers is where I'm trying to
compile the cross compiled libraries and /home/c4i/nicksStuff/host_ace
is where the binaries for the host platform, Ubuntu 11.04, are. I'm
generating my make files using make project creator and kicking off the
build as follows:
Cd ACE_wrappers/tao
Mwc.pl TAO_ACE.mwc --type make
Make

I've already built ACE at this point with out two many problems.
Any ideas?

Without a PRF, we are just guessing, but below is a guess. (Yes, you
really need a PRF and we need to know which environment variables you
have changed and the contents of your platform_macros.GNU).

Is there a "-g" missing from this tao_idl command line?

> Mwc.pl TAO_ACE.mwc --type make

This doesn't work, you need "-type gnuace".

Checkout the Config section of the build log to see how this build is
set up.
If you checkout the autobuild archive (see the 'Autobuild framework'
chapter of the TPG at
http://www.remedy.nl/en/ace-tao-ciao-dance-prod/tpg) you can find the
autobuild configuration file for this build (the name of which you will
find in the build log Config section) which gives you even more
information about the setup.

regards,
Martin Corino.

We suggest you do not modify the distribution files. Instead, your
platform_macros.GNU should include a standard one, followed by
(sometimes preceded by) your own customizations. This is done via the
/include/ GNU make keyword.

This TAO_IDLFLAGS is incorrect. As I speculated yesterday, it needs a
"-g " in front of the path to gperf.

Looks like you copied global.features here. That's a distribution file
so we don't want to see it in the PRF, just default.features which is
where your customizations belong.

As I pointed out yesterday, "--type make" is not applicable to projects
using ACE.

Hi All.

Just wanted to say thanks for the hints and tips regarding the cross
compiling instructions. I've now got a version of TAO on the embedded
device I was cross compiling for.

Thanks.
Nick.
