PostPosted: Thu Jan 10, 2008 11:52 am    Post subject: [SOLVED] Qt and mips/softfloat Reply with quote

I felt a bit uneasy opening a bug in bugzilla about this, mostly because my
toolchain seems unsupported by the gentoo/mips herd.

Anyway here goes: I can't compile qt-3.3.8 for mips32-le; it bails at the final
link stage with a few MIPS relocation errors. So if anyone has successfully
built Qt-3 with a softfloat-little-endian mips toolchain, could you please tell
me your exact toolchain version and used CFLAGS?

Thanks!


Error output below if anyone is interested:

Judging from the errors I assume it's a toolchain problem.

Can't say I've ever tried any softfloat stuff... everything supported officially by Gentoo works without it.

I've found Qt does fail to compile if it's compiled for processors higher than MIPS1 -- the symptom is uic dying with a Bus Error and taking the entire build with it.

I've rang the bus company so I can issue uic with a new bus timetable... but this will take some time. ;-) Compiling with CFLAGS=CXXFLAGS="-O2 -mips1 -pipe" works.

This is quite a different problem to what you've had, which is a full blown linker error. binutils-2.18 has been known to have quite a few issues, especially the H. J Lu versions (such as what you're running) so I'd suggest switching back to GNU binutils 2.17 (not 2.17.19.532.52.67.3 or whatever).

The Alchemy's don't have FPU, and a test app I have only displays 'nan's with in-kernel emulation. And since rebuilding the whole system
with softfloat, it feels _much_ snappier, especially Xfce.

QT-4.3.3 fails in a similar way; the built uic segfaults on every test the buildscript does (and stops after Xrandr "non"detection)

Actually, both qt-3 and qt-4 build fine with a "standard" (mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu) toolchain, even with binutils-2.18. But as I mentioned, softfloat is faster
at least for my puny fpu-less cpus ;)

These errors also appear with the default 2.18[-r1] builds in portage; but I'll try with an older version.
Even found a few weeks old patch for some MIPS GOT issues on the binutils ML.

Thanks for your answer,

Had to recompile glibc and qt-3.3.8 with the following additional CFLAGS:
"-mxgot -mlong-calls". "mxgot" gets rid of all the R_MIPS_GOT16 errors; but then
a single R_MIPS_CALL16 against __fxstat64@GLIBC remained (libc_nonshared.a),
which is eliminated when glibc is recompiled with "-mlong-calls".

I really hate MIPS and its absurd ABI...

EDIT2: KDE-3.5.8 finished without a hitch. It even runs at acceptable speeds with
X on top of unaccelerated dumb framebuffer...
