Unable to build coreboot 2

kabo · April 6, 2019, 7:01am

When I run ./build_coreboot.sh it exits with the message

Building GCC v6.3.0 for target ... failed. Check 'build-i386-elf-GCC/build.log'.
make[2]: *** [Makefile:26: build_gcc] Error 1
make[1]: *** [Makefile:48: build-i386] Error 2
make: *** [util/crossgcc/Makefile.inc:46: crossgcc-i386] Error 2

build-i386-elf-GCC/build.log ends with

make: *** [Makefile:4108: all-gcc] Error 2
/bin/bash ../gcc-6.3.0/mkinstalldirs /home/me/Downloads/building-coreboot/coreboot/util/crossgcc/xgcc /home/me/Downloads/building-coreboot/coreboot/util/crossgcc/xgcc
/bin/bash: line 3: cd: i386-elf/libgcc: No such file or directory
make: *** [Makefile:10796: install-target-libgcc] Error 1

Any ideas?

I’m able to clone and build coreboot toolchain just fine.

So it seems to be something that is introduced by this section in the script

git fetch origin
git fetch purism
git fetch purism --tags
# checkout master so we can delete the librem branch
git checkout master
# delete it, in case it's our first run, do || true
git branch -D librem || true
git checkout -b librem "$COREBOOT_TAG"
# need to update submodules after the checkout
git sup

I tried using the version of build_coreboot.sh that was marked as verified, 075bfa7ce16ac33f11c747646b84d5f8d12af20f, same result.

MrChromebox · April 6, 2019, 9:35pm

what OS are you building from, and what is the host gcc version? It’s possible your host gcc is failing to build the older gcc 6.3 specified by the tagged version of coreboot used in the build script

kabo · April 6, 2019, 9:38pm

Running Debian Buster.

$ gcc --version
gcc (Debian 8.3.0-5) 8.3.0

MrChromebox · April 6, 2019, 9:56pm

same here, I’ll see if I can reproduce on a fresh build

edit: yep, same issue here on Buster for me. looks like an issue compiling gcc-6.3 w/gnat support from a host gcc-8.x. Working on a solution
