Re: [Simulavr-devel] Trouble building simulavrxx on Darwin

[Klaus Rudolph]

Hi David,

could you please press the answer all button when you reply to our mails.
I think it make sense that other developers are also able to read our thread
and not only my part of the answers. Especially the build system problems
must be read by Bill, so please give him a chance for this :-)

I think we run later into problems. But for a first test this will be OK.
I hope the poll function will not test for other bits here :-)

That is work for Bill I think.

dcgettext is normaly located in libc!. That is a bit misterious. 
Maybe this is the reult of wrong order linking. I could not test this what 
makes me not very happy. 

Could you please try to link the program manually:
simply copy the last output and change maybe the order of linked libraries.
And please link from you compile path of avr-gcc-binutils path.

grepping through libraries is not the idea:-)

Please use nm to find if the symbol is used or defined in a lib. If you try
nm libbfd.a|grep dcgettext you will get U _dcgettext
this means that libbfd.a used dcgettext.
in libc.a you will find 
00000 T __dcgettext
so this is defined here.

I hope that I´m not wrong in this point.

@Bill: Please try to reconstruct the problmes of linking from /libiberty.a
@Bill: This is a bug I think. 
@Bill: What do you think about unresolved _dcgettext?
@Bill: And have you also an idea what is whith poll.h? I´m not really clear
about the usage
@Bill: of the constants I used (maybe copied form somewhere :-). I will look
out for
@Bill: this problem. Maybe we need to remove the constants in a conditional 
@Bill: compile (#ifdef) for OS X. So if you could prepare a macro to
determine the os
I will patch this in.  Thanks!

Bye 
    Klaus
