How to build on Centos 7 #270

Open oadjemian opened 5 years ago

oadjemian commented 5 years ago

Hi all,

I try to build on Centos 7.6 without success.

I update automake to version 1.15

automake --version

automake (GNU automake) 1.15

I update autoconf to version 2.69

autoconf --version

autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.69

I update libtool version 2.4.6

libtool --version

libtool (GNU libtool) 2.4.6

./build.sh

Thanks for your help, Olivier

riscv-tools is difficult to build and unmaintained. Don't use it. If you want a toolchain, then use riscv-gnu-toolchain instead.

If you insist on wasting your time trying to build riscv-tools, then you are on the right track. I think the part you are missing is that you need to grab some autoconf/automake patches from the upstream openocd tree in order to use these autoconf/automake versions.

The simple solution is to just install Ubuntu 16.04LTS on a machine, and then use that to build riscv-tools.

The even simpler solution is to just never try to build riscv-tools.

Hi Jim, I prefer to use CentOS/Redhat because most of all EDA tools are running under. I have build all of the packages except openocd, I have used openocd CentOS bundle but it is not the same version that provided by riscv-tools. so what are autoconf/automake and other package version that are needed to be patched ?

It was over 6 months ago that I last looked at Centos support for a friend, and I can't find any of my instructions or build trees. It looks like I didn't save anything, so I can't give you detailed instructions on how to do the build.

SiFive has releases that have been built on Centos. Maybe you could use one of those? See https://www.sifive.com/boards and scroll down to the prebuilt toolchain section.
