ciao, I recently ftp'd from Apple the binary gcc version 1.37. This version does not seem to be happy with A/UX 2.0. Does anyone know a source for a approximately current version of gcc that works with A/UX 2.0? While I am asking for pointers, does anyone have the patches to make MIT CScheme work with A/UX? -- mas Reach out your hand if your cup be empty, if your cup is full may it be again

Since I did the gcc port to A/UX 2.0 I'd be reall interested in knowing what problems you're having with it. BTW, watch this space for upcoming announcements about an updated version of gcc which uses gas to write coff files. David W. Berry A/UX Toolbox Engineer dwb@apple.com

I have been using gcc and 2.0 and it works fine. If you want to make use of ioctls, then you must run "fixincludes" which is in the gcc source distr. -- steveg@umd5.umd.edu

I've received enough mail about gcc-1.37 and apple, that I've gone ahead and updated all of the gcc-1.37 stuff on apple. As promised it now uses gas to directly write coff files instead of using the native assembler. This should take care of numerous floating point bugs, and possibly some others. I've also made several other minor bug fixes, so have at. If you already have a running gcc-1.37 and sources you need the ...patch1 file. If you don't have, you'll want the gcc and gas tar and bin files. There is no gas binary distribution as it is included in the gcc binary distribution. Have fun. David W.

Does anyone know a source for a approximately >current version of gcc that works with A/UX 2.0? Well, I've only had A/UX 2.0 for a couple of days, and haven't done much compiling with it. Still, what few programs I have recompiled with gcc are OK. What sort of problems are you having? >While I am asking for pointers, does anyone have the patches to make MIT >CScheme work with A/UX? Well, I got C Scheme to more-or-less work under A/UX 1.1--I didn't test it thoroughly, and I didn't manage to get the compiler to work. Since my main interest in C Scheme was to have access to a full Lisp-like language with compiler (somewhat of a novelty to someone whose first Lisp experience was with a subset Lisp interpreter on a TRS-80 :-), I sorta lost interest at that point. Still, the stuff I did should be helpful to you in getting a full port going (I hope you understand how their compiler works, as its innards don't seem to be documented anywhere that I found...). Contact me at one of the addresses below and I'll see what I can do regarding getting the changes to you. (Currently, I've got the changes in the form of tar files of the changed source files, circa 100K compressed). -- Richard Todd rmtodd@uokmax.ecn.uoknor.edu rmtodd@chinet.chi.il.us rmtodd@servalan.uucp "Cancelling a posted message means posting a cancel message."-Maarten Litmaath

Thanx to all those that have pointed out that the recent gcc-1.37 binary distribution didn't include bin/gcc. A minor oversight I'm sure... Anyway, it does now, and as a bonus, gcc alone is also there so that you don't have to download .5 meg just to get the 32K compiler driver... David W. Berry A/UX Toolbox Engineer dwb@apple.com

That's exactly what I was afraid I'd have to do by myself. ;-)
Thanks for supporting the stuff!
(Now if only my copy of A/UX 2.0 would arrive before the II->fx upgrade...)

I hate to do this to everyone right after they've compiled the recently released patches :-), but... Announcing yet another round of gcc patches! What's different about these patches compared to the ones David Berry just released? First, those patches are incorporated in these. Gas support is included. In addition, there are a bunch of things I've been working on, and some extensions to the gas and g++ support. I'll include the readme at the end of this message, but here's the gist of the changes: 1) Support for A/UX 2.0 shared libraries. gcc now uses the right crt files and the right loaded directives file. 2) Support for easy use of the 'big' version of as (if you're not using gas) and ld via compiler flags. 3) Different predefined symbols such that (if you compile the compiler right) it's easy to check if you're on 1.1 or 2.0, if you're on a mac at all, and what standards you want to be compatible with (A/UX, BSD, SVID, or POSIX). 4) Support for the register prefix option of COFF-gas. This causes registers to be written with a leading '%' (i.e. %pc, not pc), which prevents name clashes between registers and user variables (I've already seen one program which has a 'PC' variable). 5) A commando dialog. Makes it a lot easier to remember the obscure options and features. In addition to the distribution files mentioned in the README file, there's also a gcc.update.patch file which converts from the most recent apple.com patches to my version. All the files are available on wuarchive.wustl.edu in systems/aux/gnu. --John --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This set of patches should allow gcc 1.37.91 to work under A/UX 1.1 and A/UX 2.0. Most of them are from David Berry (dwb@apple.com), while I've added some bugfixes and additions. For installation instructions, please read the file INSTALL.aux. Distribution: The following files should be available on wuarchive.wustl.edu in the systems/aux directory (/archive/systems/aux for those NFS mounting wuarchive) or in the gnu directory: gcc-1.37.aux.bin.Z Binaries for gcc-1.37 on A/UX (tar format). These are a 1.1 build and will definitely work with it. gcc-1.37.91.aux2.bin.tar.Z Binaries for gcc-1.37.91 on A/UX. These were built with 2.0. I don't know if they will run on 1.1. gcc-1.37.91.aux.diffs.Z Patches for gcc-1.37.91 supporting A/UX. These should not break support for any other machine, and should work for A/UX 1.1 and 2.0. gcc-1.37.91.aux.src.tar.Z Sources for gcc-1.37.91 with the above diffs already applied. New in this release: There is now a AUX2 flag. If you have A/UX 2.0, add '-DAUX2' to the flags used to make gcc and some 2.0 features will be compiled in. These include support for shared libraries and support for the new syntax for getting the 'big' versions of as and ld. There are also new predefined symbols and one bugfix. The linker directives now specify default searching of /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/Gnu/lib, since that makes things much easier most of the time. The gas support has been modified to produce register names with a leading '%' (to disambiguate them from variable names) --- hence, '%pc' and not 'pc'. This feature is enabled by default --- to turn it off, edit out the "#define REGISTER_PREFIX" in config/tm-aux.h. To make gas understand the percent prefix, you need to link m68k.h to m-prefix.h when building gas (the gas provided with the aux2 binaries supports this; the gas provided with the aux binaries doesn't). Finally, there is a Commando dialog for gcc on A/UX 2.0. Support for shared libraries: gcc now supports linking with A/UX shared libraries. The compiler automatically uses the right crtN.o startup files and the right loader directives file for shared libraries. If you specify -lc_s on the command line, you'll get the shared C library instead of the statically linked library. New compiler flags: If you're running A/UX 2.0, the following flags are valid on the command line: -big: Use big tables in as and ld. Actually, the patches default to using moderately big tables in as anyway, while ld defaults to small tables (because ld with big tables is SLOW). -vbig: Use VERY big tables in as and ld. You can get quite a bit bigger than this, but these should be big enough for almost any program, I think. If you're using gas, the big tables options only affect ld (gas doesn't use fixed sized tables). New predefined symbols: One of the biggest complaints about the standard A/UX cc is that it doesn't define any useful symbols to allow people to target code to A/UX. This should be banished by the plethora of symbols defined by gcc. The following symbols are always defined (both the listed symbols and __SYMBOL__ versions): unix m68k _AUX_SOURCE AUX macII If you're running A/UX 2.0 (compiled with -DAUX2), AUX2 is also defined. If you're using the A/UX assembler (compiled with -DAUX_ASM), AUX_ASM is defined. WARNING: The symbols _SYSV_SOURCE and _BSD_SOURCE are _not_ predefined. However, there are a number of standard include files that demand one or both to be defined. IMHO this is a bug in the include files (_AUX_SOURCE should always produce the default "A/UX" behavior specified in the man pages while _SYSV_SOURCE and _BSD_SOURCE should specify compatibility modes only), but for the moment you may need to hand-define them. I don't like having the compiler predefine them, because it makes actually using them to target code for one standard or another more difficult. Bugfix: There was a bug in the original patches which caused bad debugging information to be generated (duplicate entries). This is now fixed. Commando dialog: The file gcc.commando contains a Commando dialog for gcc. Virtually every useful feature of gcc can be specified from this dialog (the only exceptions are flags passed on to the linker and assembler, flags which are nonsensical on the 680x0 series, and the 3 -f flags which affect specific registers). The dialog can be placed in /mac/lib/cmdo/g or in a directory specified by the environment variable CMDODIR (in either case, rename the file to just 'gcc' when you move it). Bug reports: From the original readme: Bug reports should be sent to dwb@apple.com if they appear to be in the A/UX port, or the appropriate individuals of the FSF if they appear to be in the basic compiler. Be warned that due to the current fanaticism by FSF any bug reports mentioning A/UX or Apple are likely to be ignored... Bugs in the A/UX 2.0 support (shared libraries, big tables, Commando dialog), feature enhancements, etc., should be sent to either David Berry (dwb@apple.com) or myself (coolidge@cs.uiuc.edu) or both. Good luck! --John Coolidge coolidge@cs.uiuc.edu
