[Barrelfish-users] Compiling barrelfish without -O2?

[Patrik Eklöf]

It seems that system is necessary for compiling BF. I'm afraid of what will happen if I try to disable more and more functionality in order to get it compiling...

gcc -gdwarf-2 ./x86_64/lib/crt0.o ./x86_64/lib/crtbegin.o -fno-builtin -nostdlib -Wl,-z,max-page-size=0x1000 -Wl,--build-id=none -m64 -o ./x86_64/sbin/skb ./x86_64/usr/skb/_for_app_skb/skb_main.o ./x86_64/usr/skb/_for_app_skb/skb_service.o ./x86_64/usr/skb/_for_app_skb/skb_flounder_bindings.o ./x86_64/lib/libeclipse.a ./x86_64/lib/libshm.a ./x86_64/lib/libdummies.a ./x86_64/lib/libicsolver.a ./x86_64/lib/libvfs.a ./x86_64/lib/libnfs.a ./x86_64/lib/libposixcompat.a ./x86_64/lib/liblwip.a ./x86_64/lib/libcontmng.a ./x86_64/lib/libprocon.a ./x86_64/lib/libvfsfd.a ./x86_64/lib/libtimer.a ./x86_64/lib/libhashtable.a ./x86_64/lib/libbarrelfish.a ./x86_64/errors/errno.o ./x86_64/lib/libnewlib.a ./x86_64/lib/crtend.o ./x86_64/lib/libcollections.a 
./x86_64/lib/libeclipse.a(bip_io.o): In function `p_rename':
/run/media/mana/bf/Barrelfish/build/../source/usr/skb/eclipse_kernel/src/bip_io.c:1139: undefined reference to `system'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [x86_64/sbin/skb] Error 1

Is there no one who actually compiles BF without the O2 flag?

This is a linking problem, the linker can't find the symbols for fork and
wait. I am not sure what exactly happened, but I suspect that the manual
compilation caused this problem somehow.

The clean way would be to use Hakefiles to change the compilation flags
as needed.  Since system() won't work for barrelfish (fork() is not
supported), a quick fix for the above problem would be to disable
system() by commenting out "system.c" in
lib/newlib/newlib/libc/stdlib/Hakefile.

cheers,
Kornilios.
