Hi,
The thread about building Haiku on Linux got me thinking about
cross-compiling Haiku on a Solaris 9 box I have in my garage :)
Following a clean installation of Solaris 9, I installed
blastwave.org's pkg-get and installed gcc4 and subversion, and added
their directories to my path.
I then created a folder in my home directory called haiku and cd'd to this.
Using John Drinkwater's tutorial for building on Linux I did the following:
svn checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/haiku/buildtools/trunk buildtools
cd buildtools/jam
make
At this point I got an error, as I didn't gave cc. I just symlinked cc
to gcc for now, I am not too sure if thats the best way but re-running
make worked this time.
sudo ./jam0 install
This created /usr/local/... directories, these don't exist normally on
Solaris, so I had to add these to my path and continue - again, on
Solaris this might not be the best way.
mccall@neo:~/haiku/haiku> jam -v
Jam 2.5-haiku-20060813. OS=SOLARIS. Copyright 1993-2002 Christopher
Seiwald.
I went back to my haiku directory and checked out haiku itself.
svn checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/haiku/haiku/trunk haiku
Cd'd to the new haiku source code and tried to build the build tools:
mccall@neo:~/haiku/haiku> ./configure --build-cross-tools-gcc4 x86
../buildtools
./configure: syntax error at line 175: `(' unexpected
...and get my first error :)
Just to make sure its not because of the newer build tools, I tried to
use the older ones:
mccall@neo:~/haiku/haiku> ./configure --build-cross-tools ../buildtools/
./configure: syntax error at line 175: `(' unexpected
Same error.
Line 175 of configure is:
local oldPwd=$(pwd)
Anyone have any ideas?
I am documenting everything as I go, so if I get a sucessful build I
will write an tutorial for Haiku-OS.org.
