MACOSX port

fefe · Post by **fefe** » Apr 16, 2008 17:10

Hello,

I've been reading the forum and I've found that a few people are interested in OSX support. So I grabbed the source for the runtimes and started to compile. Here's what I've done so far. I've basically copied the freebsd configure bits and changed the MACHTYPE (??) to look for "darwin", after which configure ran fine.

Code: Select all

        
*-*-darwin* )

cat >>confdefs.h <<\_ACEOF
#define TARGET_FREEBSD 1
_ACEOF


cat >>confdefs.h <<\_ACEOF
#define TARGET_BASE_UNIX 1
_ACEOF

                FBRT_TARGET_BASE=unix
                FBRT_TARGET=freebsd
                ;;

Make bombs out on:

Code: Select all

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -g -O2  -I. -I./freebsd -I./unix -I./x86 -I.  -include config.h  -c ./static/fbrt0.c -o fbrt0.o
/var/tmp//ccwNwJAx.s:9:Expected comma after segment-name
/var/tmp//ccwNwJAx.s:9:Rest of line ignored. 1st junk character valued 32 ( ).
/var/tmp//ccwNwJAx.s:13:Expected comma after segment-name
/var/tmp//ccwNwJAx.s:13:Rest of line ignored. 1st junk character valued 32 ( ).
make: *** [fbrt0.o] Error 1

The rest here is speculation because I don't know this build environment, and I'm hardly experienced in C, but it seems to me that something in the fcrt0.c is causing the compiler to bomb out.

Here's the bits that I suspect:

Code: Select all

static void * priorityhDoInit __attribute__((section(".ctors.65435"), used)) = fb_hDoInit;
static void * priorityhDoExit __attribute__((section(".dtors.65435"), used)) = fb_hDoExit;

These two section blocks may not be supported by OSX? Again, I'm no asm wizard and I have a little experience in C. Can someone point me in the right direction, or is there further development on the OSX port (in a cvs?) that I should check out.

Thanks!

If you get the latest code from SVN, I added configure support for the rtlib for darwin and hack-fixed that fbrt0 issue; I didn't get any farther than that, but it should be a start.

I guess osx wanted comma's after the segment name. I placed commas in there and it compiled.

Code: Select all

static void * priorityhDoInit __attribute__((section(".ctors.65435"), used)) = fb_hDoInit;
static void * priorityhDoExit __attribute__((section(".dtors.65435"), used)) = fb_hDoExit;

Code: Select all

static void * priorityhDoInit __attribute__((section(".ctors.65435,"), used)) = fb_hDoInit;
static void * priorityhDoExit __attribute__((section(".dtors.65435,"), used)) = fb_hDoExit;

Thanks! I'll check it out. Sorry I didn't notice you're post before replying to my own.

Perhaps your fix is actually better than mine - I just figured it wasn't supported at all. Any test reports and patches are welcome. :)

Is there a way to get the compiler to spit out the ASM code? I want to make sure that it's not doing anything strange by putting that comma in there.

Use the -r commandline option (see http://www.freebasic.net/wiki/wikka.php ... lerCmdLine for all the commandline options).

Try running gcc --help. IIRC the -S switch makes it output the asm without assembling/linking.

I'm not sure how the configure process works, but the config.h when running the configure on osx does not include #define TARGET_DARWIN 1. I've added this bit manually since I don't know much about writing configure scripts and modified the configure script to include the following:

Code: Select all

        *-*-darwin* )

cat >>confdefs.h <<\_ACEOF
#define TARGET_DARWIN 1
_ACEOF
  
  
cat >>confdefs.h <<\_ACEOF
#define TARGET_BASE_UNIX 1
_ACEOF 
  
                FBRT_TARGET_BASE=unix
                FBRT_TARGET=darwin
                ;;

Now make is barfing on libfb_gfx_blitter_mmx.s. This looks like a ton of assembler, and it will take me a while to decipher it. Is it ok if I continue to post my updates here?

I haven't tried building gfxlib yet, so the configure script there is not updated, but I would just not mess with that for now. I would focus on getting a "hello world" console app working, then move on to more complex things like gfxlib (also, gfxlib currently has an X11 driver, but this is probably not desirable for Mac OS X since the X server is not installed by default and it's not the native graphics interface; it would be better to write a Cocoa driver, if I understand correctly).

The x86 assembly in gfxlib will probably have to be tweaked a bit to get it to work with Apple's special assembler; .balign can be replaced with an equivalent .align, for example (balign is in bits, align is in bytes).

fefe, I for one am interested in your progress since I own a Mac, thanks

Thanks for the input, I'll start on getting a 'hello world' app to run. I'm having problems building the compiler. I had to patch the configure script for osx, but it's still bombing out. It looks like some syntax errors? I keep seeing "make: e: command not found". I'm currently at work so I don't have the exact text. I'll paste it here for input when I get home tonight.

That's strange that the OSX syntax is different. I wonder why they decided to rewrite the asm syntax for osx. I assume that this balign is only for optimization purposes since a procedure follows it?

Hey,

I'm very excited about this, and would love to know what the latest progress has been. I have zero experience trying to pull something like this off, but I'd be glad to test the port out for you as quickly as you can throw builds at me.

That's because OS X doesn't use GNU AS and LD, but own versions that date back to the BSD distribution the MACH team used around 1990. Keep in mind that Mac has a different binary format!

Wow!
I can't believe somebody is working on a OSX port . . . fantastic news.
I know quite a bit of freebasic code already and have been using mac's since around 1987 or so . . . I would love to beta-test once it is up and running.
