Description Christopher Hall 2019-03-20 12:36:34 UTC
after install of the install arm-none-eabi-newlib arm-none-eabi-gcc cannot compile C sources.

starting with only the compiler (no newlib installed stub program is ok, but after installing newlib compileing stdio.h fails with many errors.


% cat main.c
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char*argv[]) {
	return 2;
}

% arm-none-eabi-gcc -c -mcpu=cortex-m3 -mthumb  main.c -o main.o

% doas pkg install -y arm-none-eabi-newlib

Comment 1 Christopher Hall 2019-03-20 12:40:20 UTC
I tried to update the arm-none-eabi-gcc to 7.4.0 and then 8.3.0 but having nelib installed breaks these.

If i rename /usr/local/arm-none-eabi/include to prevent the compiler finding the newlib  headers then compile and port build works again.  Seems like the headers installed by newlib are broken in some way.
Comment 2 Christopher Hall 2019-04-03 00:45:00 UTC
Just in case anyone is trying to use arm-non-eabi-* to compile STM32 code
don't, use the gcc-arm-embedded and add it to your PATH it works correctly.  This newlib is not compatible with thumb code.
Comment 3 Remy Nonnenmacher 2019-05-03 08:25:17 UTC
I confirm. arm-none-eabi-gcc492 and gcc-arm-embedded work but not default (6.4) version.

Hi Christopher Hall ~

could you tell me how to update it to arm-none-eabi-gcc 7.4.0?
Comment 5 Christopher Hall 2019-05-27 01:18:32 UTC
I only tried updateing to 8 and you had to update in the powerpc port, I am not at the computer where i tried this, so cannot check exactly, but I remember the main problem was that none of the patches in the powerpc base port applied.  Mostly this was a lot of whitespace changes in the files, but I do not think there was any real problem than just updating to 8.x (I might have used the same as devel/arm-gcc-embedded)

I'll take a look later on the other machine to see what I can find.

Attempt to update to gcc-8.3

This is a diff between the ports as I had them during my attemp to update the ARM gcc to 8.3 and the current state of ports as just updated by portsnap

(In reply to dvma from comment #4)
I added a patch to replicate my 8.3 update fixes, if I remember correctly you ought to be able to get 7.x to work by changing the makefile version.
