Hi, has anyone successfully built an arm cross compiler yet?
GCC: 4.4.5 GDC: Latest D2 (r357)

I always get the following error:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
(Sorry about the German error messages, forgot to use LANG=C but I think the most important part is in English anyway)

As the error message states the c_global_trees symbol is not linked in. It's used in arm-c.c and defined in c-common.c. Just linking against c-common.o isn't enough though as c-common needs more object files to be linked against.

This seems to be a D frontend related problem, building a gcc c cross compiler works. I tried building a native compiler on the arm machine and that worked (but it's painfully slow), so it's likely a cross compiler only problem.

I used the following script (custom Archlinux PKGBUILD, based on the cross-arm-elf-gcc-base and gdc2-hg PKGBUILDS):

There's a patch in Debian which addresses this. Last time I tried (a nice fella allowed me to work via ssh'ing onto a sheevaplug) it mostly works, but you'll need to use the gcstub sources, as the normal gc don't work (2.035~ish time this was I think, so things may have improved since).

Regards

First one fixes your linker errors. I'm not sure whether or not the second is needed for GCC-4.4 (it was for GCC-4.3).

Thanks Ian,
I applied the first patch for now. As you said the problem is gone, but now I hit another problem:
Compilation now fails with

make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/abs/local/cross-arm-elf-gdc2-hg/src/gcc-build/arm-elf/libgcc'

--------------------------------------------------
The arm-elf directory exists, but it only contains a libgcc and thumb folder.
I think the phobos sources are not copied correctly when crosscompiling.

In case you're interested: You can get cheap ARM Hardware by buying the "seagate dockstar freeagent go". It's possible to ssh into this device(http://ahsoftware.de/dockstar/) and install debian on it(http://jeff.doozan.com/debian/). You can get those for ~30$ in the US, I got mine for 25€ in Germany, but Prices in Germany went up again. The Dockstar uses sheevaplug like hardware: 1.2ghz ARM Processor, 128Mb ram, 256mb internal NAND.

Forget my last message, I tried to build an arm-elf cross compiler (because the archlinux gcc pakages did that). As arm-elf is bare metal ARM without the linux kernel, glibc and everything else the usual .configure make make install thing didn't work and therefore the original build script did some tricks to compile for arm-elf. I guess those tricks made the gdc setup fail.

I've now built my own bintutils and gcc for arm-none-linux-gnueabi and here things worked out better. I still had to apply the first patch, the compiler was built and it tried to compile phobos. That failed in math.d because of missing ARM support:

I guess I have to find those values for ARM, but I fear there could be more ARM specific problems with phobos.

Thanks again Iain,
I've got a working cross compiler now. The changes for phobos were rather small, I'll do some testing whether my changes actually work and if everything is fine I'll send those patches to the phobos mailing list.
The second gcc patch wasn't needed, and the default gc compiled fine. But somethings still wrong with the gc, it gets stuck in a loop somewhere. With the stub gc things work as they should.

One last question: If I build with --sysroot=/some/path the d include files still go to /usr/include/d2/4.4.5/ This could cause conflicts with multiple cross-compilers or the local compiler, is this the way it's supposed to be?

I never said it won't compile. IIRC it source of the problem occurs when entering a certain function in the Gcx class, the parameters passed from the caller are fine, but the callee receives garbage.

If I recall correctly, set --includedir=/some/patch, or --prefix=/some/patch

Regards

So the runtime works out of the box?
Doesn't it contain x86 specific inline assembler code?

I think most of the inline assembler code is in version statements and has d versions for other architectures. However, the _GDC_ druntime worked out of the box, it's possible that Iain already patched some things in there. I also didn't test it a lot because of the GC issue. The phobos changes are actually integrated in the latest GDC, but I can't test it right now.

Hi, I also encountered these complaints about undefined c_global_trees while trying to compile the latest GDC with GCC v4.5.2 using MinGW64 and MSYS (native --build=x86_64-w64-mingw32). I've been trying to build an up-to-date x64 D2 compiler for Windows to finally start playing around with D.

Hacking the Makefile to link in c-common.o isn't enough here either.
So I guess there is a reason why Iain states that the latest working version for
Windows is D2.020 (from 2008 sadly) coupled with GCC v4.3.5. Could someone shed
some light on this?

Best regards and thanks for the hard work everybody,
