0

So, I’m trying to install gcc for SimpleScalar-3.0, and I keep running into trouble when I execute the command make install LANGUAGES="c c++" CFLAGS="-O3" CC="gcc" as per the instructions in this wiki (Link)

I’ve included the entire output of the command as it runs in the first scroll box and the error message in the second scroll box. One source suggested that I re-install binutils, but that didn’t seem to help remedy this problem. I also ensured that I have flex, and bison installed. I even tried removing flex and installing flex-old, but that didn’t seem to help. Can anyone suggest a solution for my problem?

Best way to install SimpleScalar

1) on Ubuntu (or whichever Linux you use) first do--

sudo apt-get update

2) Getting required applications

sudo apt-get install flex-old bison gedit

3) Start extraction

mkdir /tmp/simplescalar
cd /tmp/simplescalar/
wget http://csrl.unt.edu/downloads/simplescalar.tgz
tar xvfz simplescalar.tgz

4)
sudo apt-get install g++-3.4 gcc-3.4
//Alternatively, you can install gcc 3.4 using synaptic package manager
export CC="gcc-3.4";

5) setting up installation
export HOST=i686-unknown-linux 
export TARGET=sslittle-na-sstrix 
export IDIR=/opt/simplescalar

 6) Simplescalar tools
cd /tmp/simplescalar 
tar xvfz simpletools-2v0.tgz 
rm -rf gcc-2.6.3
sudo mkdir -p /opt/simplescalar
sudo mv f2c-1994.09.27/ glibc-1.09/ ssbig-na-sstrix/ sslittle-na-sstrix/ /opt/simplescalar/

7)Simplescalar utils 
cd /tmp/simplescalar 
tar xvfz simpleutils-990811.tar.gz
cd /tmp/simplescalar/simpleutils-990811  
./configure --host=$HOST --target=$TARGET --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld --prefix=$IDIR 
make CC=gcc-3.4 
sudo make install CC=gcc-3.4



8)Simplescalar!!

cd /tmp/simplescalar 
tar xvfz simplesim-3v0d.tgz
cd simplesim-3.0 
make config-pisa
make CC=gcc-3.4


>>You will get "My work is done here" :)
cd /tmp/simplescalar 
sudo mv simplesim-3.0 
/opt/simplescalar
9) Now the hard part

cd /tmp/simplescalar/ 
tar xvfz gcc-2.7.2.3.ss.tar.gz
cd /tmp/simplescalar/gcc-2.7.2.3 
export PATH=$PATH:$IDIR/sslittle-na-sstrix/bin
./configure --host=$HOST --target=$TARGET --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld --prefix=$IDIR  
make LANGUAGES="c c++" CFLAGS=-O3 CC=gcc-3.3
>>>>Error! Many errors about \ missing in insn-output.o
gedit insn-output.c

>>>> Edit file insn-output.c and add a \ (backslash) at the end of lines 675, 750, and 823.
make LANGUAGES="c c++" CFLAGS=-O3 CC=gcc-3.4
 >> Error! about libgcc2.a
gedit Makefile


 >>Edit file Makefile and add -I/usr/include to the end of line 130.


make LANGUAGES="c c++" CFLAGS=-O3 CC=gcc-3.4
sudo cp patched/sys/cdefs.h 
/opt/simplescalar/sslittle-na-sstrix/include/sys/

make enquire CC=gcc-3.4
/opt/simplescalar/simplesim-3.0/sim-safe 
./enquire -f > float.h-cross

sudo make install LANGUAGES="c c++" CFLAGS=-O3 CC=gcc-3.4 PATH=$PATH:/opt/simplescalar/bin




 10) Testing the installation!!!
cd /tmp/simplescalar 
/opt/simplescalar/bin/sslittle-na-sstrix-gcc hello.c
/opt/simplescalar/simplesim-3.0/sim-safe a.out
