I successfully installed the newlib toolchain under OSX Mountain Lion. Binutils has compiled with -disable-werror. But GCC compilation failed then because libbfd.a was not correctly linked to gettext. The error was:
http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/FAQ#Configuration_fails_with_.27.27configure:_error:_cannot_compute_suffix_of_object_files:_cannot_compile.27.27._What_is_the_problem.3F And occurred because the binutil tools failed with something like: collect2: ld terminated with signal 5 [Trace/BPT trap] dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _libintl_dgettext Referenced from: /Volumes/btc-0.12/gcc-4.4/i386-apple-darwin9.8.0/powerpc-linux-gnu/lib/libb fd-2.20.1.20100303.dylib Expected in: dynamic lookup I found out that a link from libbfd.a to libintl.a had to be created under the following url: http://www.telegraphics.com.au/~fthain/sw/build-tool-chain/btc-20110616/patches/binutils-2.20.1-darwin-libbfd-link.diff However, this workaround failed when compiling GCC with binutils because it was compiling libintl.a into libbfd.a instead of linking. Relevant warning: *** Warning: Linking the shared library libbfd.la against the *** static library ../intl/libintl.a is not portable! Giving a try to some reading about autobuild, I have came up with a patch that worked under both cases. (below) I will post the recipe to install the newlib toolchain under OSX Mountain Lion to OpenCores Wiki next. diff --git a/bfd/configure.in b/bfd/configure.in index 7a91678..e30dc45 100644 --- a/bfd/configure.in +++ b/bfd/configure.in @@ -568,7 +568,7 @@ changequote(,)dnl x=`sed -n -e 's/^[ ]*PICFLAG[ ]*=[ ]*//p' < ../libiberty/Makefile | sed -n '$p'` changequote([,])dnl if test -n "$x"; then - SHARED_LIBADD="-L`pwd`/../libiberty/pic -liberty" + SHARED_LIBADD="-L`pwd`/../libiberty/pic -L`pwd`/../intl -liberty -lintl" fi # More hacks to build DLLs on Windows.
