[okl4-developer] building for ia32_pc99 (newbie)

[Herbert Bos]

Hi, this is a newbie question re: okl4 on ia32_pc99. I am using OKL4 
version 1.5.2 from the ok-labs website.

First, i had some minor problems with toolchains.py.

- I am using gcc4.1.3 alongside the gcc3.3 needed for the build, but 
when I specify toolsuffix=-3.3, the script adds the suffix to all tools 
(including ar, ranlib, etc). I fixed this manually in toolchains.py  so 
that the suffix is only added where needed

- also, I edited  toolchains.py to not use the "i686-unknown-linux-gnu-" 
prefix, by specifying:
gnu_ia32_toolchain = generic_gcc("")

I suppose both of the above edits are frowned upon, and I guess there 
are better way doing this, but I did not find them. Any hints?


Second (and hopefully unrelated to this), the build fails as follows at 
link time:

[LINK] build/pistachio/bin/l4kernel
Usage: elfadorn [options] -- <linker> [linker_options]

elfadorn: error: no such option: --ld
scons: *** [build/pistachio/bin/l4kernel] Error 2
scons: building terminated because of errors.


Any clues? [python version 2.4  is installed. I tried debugging elfadorn 
but it is a bit too hairy and I don't really speak python]

As always, all help greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Herbert
