Have problem with the toolchain

cchalpha · Post by **cchalpha** » Sun Feb 24, 2008 7:22 pm

Built the toolchain on x86 host, but I have problem when I test it with the helloworld program. Any idea what happened?

~# ppu-gcc -o test test.c 
test.c&#58; In function 'main'&#58;
test.c&#58;3&#58; warning&#58; incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function 'printf'

Add -v to gcc and generate detail info.

what platform and why 4.2.0

I'm using ubuntu 8.04 on x86 pentium M, and the 4.2.0 is the right version according to the toolchain scripts for ppu, you can see 002-gcc-4.2.0-ppu-stage1.sh in scripts folder.

you used the toolchain for otheros, which has neither support for libc nor newlib. You may only be able to use the toolchain for compiling kernels or the otheros demo.

I downloaded it from http://ps2dev.org/ps3/Tools/Toolchain/p ... 26.tar.bz2, I also tried the svn one, is it only for otherOS dev?

I've finaly gotten my PS3 running Linux and setup with the IBM cell sdk.

If you're using Ubuntu, you should be able to install the compiler from the BSCC by doing something like;

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install ppu-g++ spu-g++ ppu-gdp spu-gdb cell-programming-primer

And be able to cross compile without any problems to run on a linux box. I haven't personaly tried this yet though, instead I'm using ssh to connect to my PS3 and call make from the command line which uses the CBE version of the IBM Cell SDK.

I edit the code on my PC though by using a folder shared with Samba.

The reason I'm doing it this way, is because I can't be bothered/don't yet know how to cross-compile the necessary support libraries (X11 dev, SDL, libc etc.) that I need. But because all that stuff is pre-built on my PS3, it's just easier to compile via ssh :)

Thanks IronAvatar. I'll try your commands when I back home tonight.

The ps3toolchain, which is used for otheros development, has support for newlib but it doesn't have an OS added yet. This means there's no startup code, which is why it can't find crt*.o. You can find some startup code in the otheros demo.

As for Ubuntu:

danpeori@yggdrasil:~$ apt-cache search ppu-
ppu-binutils - PPU assembler, linker and binary utilities
ppu-g++ - PPU C++ compiler
ppu-gcc - PPU C compiler
ppu-gdb - Combined debugger for Linux on Cell BE
ppu-gfortran - PPU Fortran compiler
ppu-gnat - PPU Ada compiler
ppu-sysroot - Cell Broadband Engine (CBE) Cross-Compile System Root
ppu-sysroot64 - PPU cross-sysroot (64-bit)

danpeori@yggdrasil:~$ apt-cache search spu-
spu-binutils - SPU assembler, linker and binary utilities
spu-g++ - SPU cross-compiler (C++ compiler)
spu-gcc - SPU cross-compiler (preprocessor and C compiler)
spu-gdb - SPU stand-alone debugger
spu-gfortran - SPU cross-compiler (Fortran compiler)
spu-newlib - SPU C library

That's fantastic! I had no idea it was there.

Yeah, not many people know about it. I just happened to come accross it when looking for some advice on installing the IDM sdk on non RH/Fedora.

ooPo...sort of wondering where you got the inspiration for your hostname. Was it;

1) Norse Mythology
2) First Linux distro on CD
3) Name of a character from the first PS2 game that I worked on

(I'm betting that it wasn't 3)

It works, type

aptitude search ppu-
and
aptitude search spu-

and you will have a list of ppu/spu related packages, and I am sure which ones should be installed, :D

Here are the packages I installed

And the test helloworld program compiled and linked.
