Compiling source

[makro]

Hi,

I've followed the instructions in the source files and tools files and have CYGWIN loaded up ready to go with all of the packages under the devel tree. When I type 'make' in the source directory, I get the following output / error.

Matt@Matt-PC ~/ms3-source-1.3.2/ms3
$ make
/bin/echo "// setup for MS3" > opt.h
grep -v "^#[12345]" core.ini | sed 's/^#0//' > ms3.ini
c:/usr/bin/m68hc11-elf-gcc -g -Wall -Werror -O -fomit-frame-pointer -m9s12xg -mshort -msoft-reg-count=5 -mauto-incdec -fsigned-char -Wa,-mxgate,--xgate-ramoffset -c xgate.s
Makefile:127: recipe for target 'xgate.o' failed
make: *** [xgate.o] Error 127

Does anybody know what this means?

C:/usr/bin is a valid dir and I can see all of the build executables in there.

I seem to remember a problem I had once where Cygwin would silently fail to execute programs. It was a real pain.

What happens if you type in
c:/usr/bin/m68hc11-elf-gcc --version

That should return something like:
m68hc11-elf-gcc (GCC) 3.3.6-9s12x-20120502

If that's ok, then try the full command line for that compile step:
c:/usr/bin/m68hc11-elf-gcc -g -Wall -Werror -O -fomit-frame-pointer -m9s12xg -mshort -msoft-reg-count=5 -mauto-incdec -fsigned-char -Wa,-mxgate,--xgate-ramoffset -c xgate.s

Just a shot in the dark, but I had some similar issues with build errors that made no sense.

The way I fixed my problem was to go back and install the 32 bit version of cygwin and the build tools. I had installed the 64 bit version for my Win7 laptop and it appeared that the compiler tools did not like 64 bit.

Thanks guys - I'll try those suggestions out and report back.

What's interesting is that I've also tried on my Ubuntu x64 virtual machine and I get a very similiar error.
The 64bit theory may have some merit.

James - no good....

Matt@Matt-PC /cygdrive/f/Matt's Stuff/_Project180SX/ms3-source-1.3.2/ms3
$ c:/usr/bin/m68hc11-elf-gcc --version

Matt@Matt-PC /cygdrive/f/Matt's Stuff/_Project180SX/ms3-source-1.3.2/ms3
$

Nothing at all.

You're on the money Steve. As soon as I installed the 32bit version of Cygwin... instant success.

Thanks!!!

Double thanks! I was pulling my hair out too. Maybe because the tools are 32 bit so the don't want to work in 64 bit cygwin?
