Are the objects included in libcalypso.a supposed to have symbol tables? If so, it appears on my system they are not getting built that way.

(recreated libcalypso.a generation step with some cmd flag changes) $ ar vsru calypso/libcalypso.a calypso/arm.o calypso/clock.o calypso/dma.o calypso/dsp.o calypso/du.o calypso/i2c.o calypso/irq.o calypso/rtc.o calypso/spi.o calypso/tpu.o calypso/tsp.o calypso/keypad.o calypso/misc.o calypso/timer.o calypso/backlight.o calypso/uart.o calypso/uwire.o ar: creating archive calypso/libcalypso.a a - calypso/arm.o a - calypso/clock.o a - calypso/dma.o a - calypso/dsp.o a - calypso/du.o a - calypso/i2c.o a - calypso/irq.o a - calypso/rtc.o a - calypso/spi.o a - calypso/tpu.o a - calypso/tsp.o a - calypso/keypad.o a - calypso/misc.o a - calypso/timer.o a - calypso/backlight.o a - calypso/uart.o a - calypso/uwire.o ranlib: warning for library: calypso/libcalypso.a the table of contents is empty (no object file members in the library define global symbols)

The added 's' flag causes the warning and was not included in with the common make for libcalypso.a. I added it because the man page says "Running `ar s' on an archive is equivalent to running `ranlib' on it." and considering that the error from my previous mail suggested running ranlib, its just a guess that this might relate.

Thanks for the nudge. I had this setup already but first make run i did was with a PATH set to a osx installed aclocal and for some reason my

I have this setup:

$ /opt/local/bin/aclocal --version aclocal (GNU automake) 1.11 $ pkg-config --version 0.23 $ /opt/local/bin/aclocal --print-ac-dir /opt/local/share/aclocal $ ls /opt/local/share/aclocal/pkg.m4 /opt/local/share/aclocal/pkg.m4

Concerning the recommendation to use ranlib... the macport install of liblocal doesnt include ranlib support. liblocal docs say ranlib has

been

deprecated with 'liblocal --static'. I suppose I could find or compile

a

version that supports ranlib. Do we require this?

Well, you should use ar, ranlib and such from the toolchain. I'm not sure but it might be the case that we accidently use the "ar", "ranlib" from the host GNU host and that it magically happens to work.

You will have to look at the line with "ar" and see if arm-*-ar was used and if not you will need to patch the Makefile to do so.

I think you're right. Look in firmware/Makefile.inc line 118

It should probably be

$(CROSS_COMPILE)$(AR) cru $$($(1)_DIR)/lib$(1).a $$($(1)_OBJS)

instead of just:

$(AR) cru $$($(1)_DIR)/lib$(1).a $$($(1)_OBJS)

definitely the more intelligent solution, rather than what I just sent. thanks :)

another solution:

the macports arm-elf-binutils package installs all tools with arm-elf prefix, while the target configure script expects arm-elf-linux.

in the toplevel Makefile there is an explicit override of CC with arm-elf-gcc all the other tools are searched for with the 'arm-elf-linux-' prefix.

also note this warning in the configure output: ====== configure: WARNING: using cross tools not prefixed with host triplet ======

two possible solutions:

1) add symlinks with the arm-elf-linux for all relevant binaries.

for i in strip objdump ar ranlib; do ln -sf $(dirname $(which arm-elf-gcc))/arm-elf-$i ~/bin/arm-elf-linux-$i; done

2) add more overrides to the target configure line

RANLIB="$(CROSS_TOOL_PREFIX)ranlib" OBJDUMP="$(CROSS_TOOL_PREFIX)objdump" AR="$(CROSS_TOOL_PREFIX)ar" STRIP="$(CROSS_TOOL_PREFIX
