   I had sdcc running under Solaris9 on UltraSPARC at one point, until 
maybe a year ago when I moved my mcs51 development to a MacOS X 
machine.  I may interested in getting it running under Solaris again 
(it's the primary development platform here) so if you get anywhere 
with this, please drop a note on the list about it.  In the meantime I 
will pull down the latest sources and give it a shot.

I tried it on Solaris8/Sparc.

The configure process will complete successfully, if you invoke it this way
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib ./configure

assuming your gcc is in /usr/local/lib, I think this have something to 
do with the gcc vs g++ thing about standard c++ libraries, will try to 
make a patch if I have the time.

Proceeding to make, then stop because the solaris8 yacc compiler could 
not process SDCC.y (it was complaining about the except 6 line, after I 
removed the -o option that was not supported from the makefile), maybe 
will try with bison from sunfreeware.com later.

Successfully compiled the whole sdcc snapshot on SOlaris8/Sparc with the 
following commands
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib ./configure
$ make

With the following packages installed from http://www.sunfreeware.com:
1. make-3.80
2. gcc_small-3.3.2 (latest version without iconv dependancy)
3. bison-1.35 (version 1.875 will spit out a broken pipe error)
4. flex-2.5.4a

Cheers,
Phuah Yee Keat

The $LD_LIBRARYPATH solved the config problem. Regular sdcc built as 
expected. Building
the pic16 libsdcc still fails. First the Makefile.common does not 
contain the -mpic16 flag. Second
the compiler has BUS FAULTS building most of the arithmetic library  
modules.

I commented out individual lines until it stopped faulting. It is 
behaving like a stack problem. Almost
all the compound "if" statements cause failure. I am not seeing the same 
problem with Linux.

On the Linux side I have compiled and loaded into a pic18f252 a PID 
algorithm for motor control.
The motors turn but "control" is nowhere to be found. The operations 
include signed 16-bit integer
mult, div, add, sub, and testing for limits.

Err, could you please give me the exact commands that you used to build 
the pic16 libsdcc?

I usually just do "make", and I mainly use it for mcs51 purpose. So, 
would appreciate it if you can give the commands that you do and the 
outcome that you get.

Cheers,
Phuah Yee Keat

Phuah,

Steps to build the pic16 libraries. From the sdcc top:

    1.  cd device/lib/pic16 directory
    2.  ./configure
    3.  make
    4.  cp bin/* /usr/local/share/sdcc/lib/pic16

Thanks,
    George

CD-ing into device/lib directory and executing:
    1. make model-pic16
    2. make install

should install everything correctly. (after of course having configured
/device/lib/pic16 directory!)

Strange. I remember adding it somewhere... I'll check the makefiles again.

As a "stack problem" you mean the stack of the compiled source or the
operating system's stack?!

As Raphael has pointed out in previous bug entries, there where many bugs in
the addition and subtraction algorithms in the code generator. I have applied
his
fixes to the sources, but not comitted them yet. I am stack with another problem
I discovered lately.
The problem is that spare time has dropped to 0 this week and I can't clean for
commit easily. Please be a little patient.

Vangelis

Vangelis,

I downloaded via cvs sdcc as of Oct 01 version 2.4.5.  Your procedure to 
build
the libaries does not work because the Makefile.comon has not been created.
 I did a ".configure" in the pic16 directory folllowed by a "make 
model-pic16" which
succeeded. The "make install" then failed because of the CVS directories.

Regards,
    George

As I mentioned later in my message you had to configure devlice/lib/pic16/
directory first for my way to work. But after that, all you need is two
instructions.

The problem with the CVS directories will be solved in the next commit,
check for updates...

What about compiling a simple source, or pic16 libraries? (probably you'll
have to install gputils, but try producing the .asm files only)

Vangelis

Vangelis,

gputils is installed. I can compile most simple programs that donot include
any compund "ifs'. Fod instance:

if (a < b) c = a;

is ok. Whereas:

if ((a < b) ^ (x > y)) c = 0;

will bus fault.
