A new version of the IOP compiler is now available. It can be found in the downloads section of ps2dev.sourceforge.net. If you still have the files binutils-2.9.1.tar.gz and gcc-2.8.1.tar.gz, you do NOT have to download them again (these files will never change). The changes made in this revision include: * The patches have been split into a binutils patch, and a gcc patch to make it easier to upgrade one package without changing the other and the install script has been rewritten to make installing and upgrading more flexible. * An iop build target has been added to make it easy to configure and install. Configuring with the --target=iop option will create and install the iop utilities with the "iop-" prefix. * Support for irx modules has been added to the linker. By default the linker will produce an irx module. The linker can still produce elf files if you use the "-m elf32elmip" option. * gcc now supports the section attribute when configured to create elf files or irx modules. * gcc no longer produces a call to __main () at the beginning of the main function. This call is being moved to the C runtime library startup file. In the future if you wish to support linking against C++ code in your module, you will be able to use an alternate crt file. NOTE: iop-objcopy and iop-objstrip do not know how to play nice with irx modules yet. Irx modules need to keep their relocation tables; using iop-objstrip --strip-all on an irx module will remove the relocation tables, breaking the module. If you want to strip all of the symbols from your irx module, pass the --strip-all flag to the linker when you link the module. |
