Announcing availability of x86 hosted cross compiler for SPARC/Solaris

We are pleased to announce the release for GCC For Sun Systems 4.2.0 cross compilers!
This is a Solaris/x86 hosted compiler with target code generation for
SPARC/Solaris systems. If you develop on your OpenSolaris, or Solaris
x86 laptop or desktop, you can now start compiling your sources for
SPARC systems. Almost all features available in the
native SPARC GCC For Sun Systems 4.2.0 compiler are available
for use in the cross compiler. Please refer to the mini cross compiler howto
page for additional details on install and usage, and gotchas in cross
development environment.
Please continue to provide us your feedback and issues, which helps
us make the product better.
Thanks
GCCFSS team

Can GCCFSS also cross compile from in reverse - from SPARC to x86/x64?
Thank you

License for cross-compilation for solaris 10 sparc on Linux x86

I'd like to do cross-compilation for solaris 10 sparc on Linux x86 using gcc (for linux). To do that, I have to copy libraries (/lib/64) and includes (/usr/include) from a sparc machine to my linux machine.
The compilation will be run on about (up to) 50 Linux machines (by various developers). We also have 3 solaris-10-SPARC machines.
I wonder if Solaris license allows me to copy the includes and libs to perform compilation elsewhere.
I also checked "OTN License Agreement for Oracle Solaris", but it looks like Oracle allows for installing "the programs" on up to 3 machines, but I need it on 50.
Thanks for any suggestions or redirections to a proper place where I can get an answer.

When installing Solaris 10 01/06 on a Dell 1850 I receive an error message during the install saying "no disk found". I assume that the drive/controller is not recognized. The Dell 1850 is listed under the HCL for Solaris 10 10/06. I don't believe I can use the Solaris(TM) Device Driver for the LSI MegaRAID Adapter floppy with 1/06. I don�t have any other Solaris boxes up so I can�t build a jump start server. Any suggestions?

Create a cross compiler for arm

I am struggling with building a cross toolchain, essentially it boils down to building these packages (in thegiven order):
binutils gcc-base newlib gcc
When done I am trying to compile a dummy cpp algorithm (euler gcd/ggT search) with no includes.
What the cross toolchain spits at me is the following:
$ arm-unknown-eabi-gcc -march=armv5te ./euklidisch_ggt.c -o ./euklidisch_ggt.bin.armv5te
/usr/bin/arm-unknown-eabi-ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/arm-unknown-eabi/4.5.2/../../../../arm-unknown-eabi/lib/libc.a when searching for -lc
/usr/bin/arm-unknown-eabi-ld: skipping incompatible /usr/arm-unknown-eabi/lib/libc.a when searching for -lc
/usr/bin/arm-unknown-eabi-ld: cannot find -lc
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
I wrote a little script to build it (as I got pretty much fed up doing it all by hund, round #7 just failed again)
Note: it is semi-automated, you will still be requested to give your passwd to agree with install and blah
Note: use it with arg "cleanup" to get rid of old installed packages (run as root)
Note: use it to compile as user

I already read linux from scratch howto for building cross compilers, though partly it contradicts with AUR comments especially in regard to --with-sysroot and --with-build-sysroot
If someone can please shed some light on this, the gcc doc is not very helpfull
Note: I know that a bare metal arm elf cross compiler exisis in the archlinux repository but that is not sufficient as I need different targets with some special options (where can I get the PKGBUILD from packages within the ABS?)

Current targets are armv7vfpv3 and armv5te softfloat, this compiler(s) (afaik softfloat and hardfloat can not be put into one compiler, correct me if I am wrong) will be used as basis for kernel compileing for these architectures plus the basic packages (afaik called bootstrapping).
And I knew it was not really newby stuff, but .. well .. after searching like 5 mins for an appropriate subforum I gave up and posted it just here, sorry
The point is this is the basis for a lot of core packages and I just want to do it right (and atm it ain't working at all )

Trying to cross compile for ARM phone (android galaxy S4)

i am trying to cross compile for my galaxy S4 on my 64 bit arch install, and ran into a host of issues. Currently at a specific error message in the code box below, after downloading the android NDK at https://developer.android.com/tools/sdk/ndk/index.html and running:
android-ndk-r9d/build/tools/make-standalone-toolchain.sh
this gave me android-ndk-gcc (directory)
so i read up some basics on how to set the compiler via:
'export CC=/home/earth/android-ndk-gcc/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-gcc'
then i downloaded Bash's source code and tried to run variations of ./configure with no success until i tried:
'./configure --host=arm-linux --enable-static-link --without-bash-malloc'
which resulted in successful whatever configure does (sets up make file stuff?)
the result of 'make' was (only posting the one compile iteration that resulted in an error):
/home/earth/android-ndk-gcc/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-gcc -c -I. -I../.. -I../.. -I../../lib -I../../include -I. -I../../lib/intl -I/home/earth/project/bash-4.3/lib/intl -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DSHELL -g -O2 oslib.c

make: *** [lib/sh/libsh.a] Error 1
I am in no way experienced with compiling things, but i did manage to compile a simple helloworld.c program for my phone and run it successfully on the phone, which tells me the compiler works okay.
Can anyone give me more information on what's happening? Google returns almost nothing on any of these errors, especially the oslib.c errors.

You should check out the Android NDK documentation. The NDK comes with a cross compiler specifically for android, with the correct versions of libraries, etc. It comes with some examples showing how to build stuff for it.
EDIT: There is also an AUR package for it.

Using makepkg to cross-compile (for sparc64)

I recently acquired a Sun Ultra 5 system with a TI UltraSparc IIi CPU (sparc64). I am in the middle of doing some compiling on it using Debian as the host system while dabbling into cross-compiling for it. It would be superb to have a sparc64 toolchain installed and in the $PATH on a modern x86_64 system while using makepkg to cross-compile sparc64 packages. I would copy /etc/makepkg.conf to a working directory, make the necessary changes, and run makepkg --config /working/dir/makepkg.conf. makepkg would then (theoretically) pick up that I'm cross compiling, see the proper toolchain in the path, and cross compile.
Is this possible? If not, what kind of work/patching would be necessary to make it happen?

cedeel wrote:A Sparc64 chroot isn't possible. The closest thing would be to run a chroot-like environment in QEMU.
A cross toolchain should be preferred, although I have no idea on how to set it up.
Yeah. I'm building a toolchain atm. As long as the PKGBUILDs know that I'm cross compiling, I should be okay. There will be a bit of hand-cranking needed since not all sources use autotools. Not really looking forward to cross-compiling openssl, and the kernel will take a bit of screwing around to work right, but, meh, that's part of the fun, right? There's only 100-ish packages for a base install, so just getting to a functional system won't be too bad.
I'm going to experiment with an auto-build system when I have the system running. I'm very comfortable with bash scripting and am learning c++, so I have some good ideas. I work as a sysadmin too, so I could even give some of the meatier servers at work an extra job to do. That is, if all goes well

SQLPlus and SQLLoader needed for Sparc Solaris 2.6

Hello,
for a test i need the two Oracle utilities SQLPlus and SQLLoader
for Sparc Solaris 2.6.
Is there a test version available ???
Thanks for information.
Olaf.

hai Alan,
Let me specific on the problem.
I developed a fail-over software for Linux servers(need 2 servers of same configuration). In this servers ,there are two modes , Active and passive mode. At a time one can be active,and other passive. Clients can communicate the with the servers through a common alias ip address. But the actual ip address of servers can be different.Normally Active server would be having the alias ip.
When switching take place from active to passive mode,server will be assigned with its actual ip address. When switching takes place other passive server becomes active and its get common alias ip address.?
This is the actual scenario . And fake is used in Linux to refresh the arp table of immediate switching device.
But i came to know that solaris os would do it normally when it switches .?
Is this possible with solaris.?

Cross compiling apps on solaris 8 for solaris 10 x86 and x64

Hi All,
We have a few applications built on Solaris 8. and we want to build the same apps on Solaris 10 x86 and x64 but the problem is clearcase does not support Solaris 10 yet.
Can we cross compile the apps on Solaris 8 for Solaris 10 x86 and x64 ? and how ?
waiting for any info on this.
TIA,
warm regards,
Girish

FYI, I noticed the reply on Sun Studio General Forum:
If you build an app on one version of Solaris, the app will run on later Solaris versions. So in particular, you can build an x86 application on Solaris 8 and run it on Solaris 9 and 10.
Unfortunately, an x64 application must be built on a Solaris x64 system, which first became available with Solaris 10.

Cross compiling for ARM (Android)

Hello, everyone. I just rooted my Android phone (an LG Ally), and decided that a fun way to try and use my newfound freedom would be to cross-compile some programs for it like Busybox, Lua, a fresh copy of Python, and possibly even pacman. (Being able to use makepkg to compile phone software would be awesome.)
I found the cross-arm-elf-binutils and cross-arm-gcc-base packages in community, so now the question is...how do I use them? From what I understand, it essentially comes down to bulding the software like normal, but using the executables from the cross-compiling package instead of the system installed ones. Is that basically right? Can you recommend any articles on cross-compiling in general, and for Android in particular?

You should check out the Android NDK documentation. The NDK comes with a cross compiler specifically for android, with the correct versions of libraries, etc. It comes with some examples showing how to build stuff for it.

Proper server sizing for SPARC/Solaris to Intel/R migrations

Is there any collateral available concerning proper server sizing for customers migrating from SPARC/Solaris to Intel/RHEL? I was just asked by our account team that is working with a very large custormer in the pharma space.
My initial knee jerk was to refer them to the OEM but thought I'd look around in these forums first.
My searches have not returned any good results yet.

Hi Mike
the public SAP SD-Benchmark homepage ([http://www.sap.com/benchmark/|http://www.sap.com/benchmark/] -> SD two-tier results) gives interesting but very indirect sizing hints. There are several SAP SD-Benchmarks on SPARC/Solaris. I picked some of them:
[2008075|http://download.sap.com/download.epd?context=B1FEF26EB0CC3466320983FEDBEB2A47615DC8F24866B0B6870E95AA3589B515566F7A57D98961BB]: 24650 SD-User w SAP ERP 6.0 (2005 Non-Unicode) on SPARC Enterprise Server M9000 (32CPUs)
[2008062|http://download.sap.com/download.epd?context=40E2D9D5E00EEF7C974D9FC4D21DA80E794CB437BC196262799B27A2BB01B9D6]: 825 SD-User w SAP ERP 6.0 (2005 Non-Unicode) on SPARC Enterprise Server M3000 (1CPU)
[2008058|http://download.sap.com/download.epd?context=40E2D9D5E00EEF7CB82813BD3F95797BAEB80527B36EC026E03386D659E4DE48]: 7520 SD-User w SAP ERP 6.0 (2005 Non-Unicode) on SPARC Enterprise T5440 (4CPUs)
You'll probably have the hardware setup of your customer together with the system utilization. Check it with the Solaris/SPARC benchmarks on the public page and check for Intel Benchmarks as well. Make sure, that the SAP release is the same (with 2009 a new SAP release is mandatory for benchmarks -> numbers are not comparable to 100%).
Thanks,
Hannes

VM Server for SPARC - Solaris OS Licensing

I'm about to buy a new Sun SPARC T4-1 sever. This comes with Solaris 11 and Oracle VM for SPARC. Oracle have advised me that installing Solaris 10 in place of 11 is allowed and supported.
Do I need to purchase an additional Solaris licence for each Solaris virtual machine we want to run on this server? I have tried to look this up on the Oracle website and not found any useful information in this regard.
I want to consolidate different applications and Oracle databases running on a Fire v240 running Solaris 10 and an 280r running Solaris 8 onto the new server. At present I'm undecided as to whether Zones or VM Ldoms are the best way to achieve this. If we use VM for SPARC I would probably want to run two Solaris 10 virtual machines.

Licensing and Support is per system not per VM so you wouldn't incur any extra costs adding extra VMs to an existing system that is compliant but as per https://edelivery.oracle.com/EPD/FAQ/get_form?ARU_LANG=US#e11 you'd need to contact Oracle for a categorical answer to Licensing, etc.
Note: it needn't be a choice between Zones and LDoms - you could use both, with a number of Zones within a domain...
The P2V tool might also be useful: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E35434_01/html/E23807/ldomsp2v.html#scrolltoc

Problems cross compiling for Foxboard (cris-gcc)

I am trying to compile the Berkeley DB for applications on a Foxboard from ACME and I am running into some problems that I cannot solve. Perhaps someone can help me.
First problem is the configure. I use the following to configure:

Running the configure again results in the same messages (which is logical) but now fails with:

Crosscompiling is not as easy as it looks. Thanks for looking into this.

Cross compiling for 5.8 sparc

Hi all,
is it possible to generate code for solaris 5.8 on a 5.10 machine with sunstudio 12?
I haven't seen any option for this in the manual pages of CC.
regards
Arno

Is there some other stratigie that we can do, to develop on the new machine with the actual SunStudio and also support our customer, which have 5.8 as a target???
I don't want to test to diffrent relesases, for the same platform.
regards
Arno

Recommended file descriptors for Sparc Solaris

I'm moving an app from Linux to Sparc Solaris and the app keeps dying with a
message of:
java.net.SocketException: Too many open files.
How many open files should weblogic have on a process level and on a system
wide level? The sparc box has a standard SunOs 5.6 I.E. Solaris.

make it 1024, solaris' max, will save hassles. 'plimit' and 'ulimit' are the commands used to configure fd.

Good instructions for making a GCC cross compiler?

Hi
I think this might be the best place to ask this since people probably have been making cross compilers. I am interested in trying to make a cross compiler of GCC targetting Plan9/i386. There is an old 3.0 version of GCC (http://cm.bell-labs.com/sources/extra/gcc/) ported to Plan9.
The thing that confuses me a bit about cross compilers is the use of binutils for the target architecture. How does that actually work? The host OS/architecture would not be able to execute those binaries. It feels a bit like a chicken-and-egg issure and I am not really sure how to get started. I have been trying to read up a bit on the PKGBUILDs for cross-arm but the whole theoretical issue of how to actually get the thing working in the first place is still a bit unclear to me.
Some good instructions/links/help would be appreciated
I could post my temporary PKGBUILD here if people want to help out with the actual build...

A small update to my attempts:
This is my binutils package, it has failed at multiple levels during my attempts. The binutils ported to Plan9 are relatively old so some stuff needs to be patched up to build. Now it fails on not being able to recognize arlex.o . This seems a bit odd I think.

Fortran code for iOS using GCC cross-compiler

Hello everyone!
I have some Fortran application, and i want to compile it for iOS. I'm new in iOS development and as i understand correctly i need to configure GCC (from gcc.gnu.org) with --target=arm-apple-darwin and --enable-languages=c,c++, fortran.
With --target=arm-elf, --target=arm-apple-darwin i got error, that it's not supported.
With --target=arm-none-eabi i got cannot compute suffix of object files: cannot compile Maybe is that because i'm setting wrong configure parameters.
My question is : what is correct ./confgiure parameters to create gcc cross compiler for iOS platform, which supports FORTRAN.
Is this the only (right?) way to build cross-compiler for iOS platform, or i could use existing LLVM-GCC? Thanks!

jasonwryan, thanks for the reply,
I've read the ARM Dev Guide as suggested but I don't believe this will do what I'm aiming to achieve. It seems the ARM Dev Guide will install the arm-linux-gnueabi, which allows cross-compiling applications to run on LINUX built for ARM. I need something like arm-none-eabi (or arm-none-gnueabi - the whole naming scheme is a mess at the moment) which is an ARM compiler for "bare metal" ARM devices. I am aiming to program a simple ARM Cortex M4 microcontroller as opposed to an ARM microprocessor running Linux. Hence arm-linux-gnueabi is quite overkill from my understanding and it might even not work.
So, if someone could either confirm that what the ARM Dev Guide suggests is indeed what I need to program a bare metal ARM microcontroller, or recommend an alternative path, it would be very appreciated.
Thanks,
-Igor
