[9front] Error building 9front on arm64 (64-bit Pi)

[Frank D. Engel, Jr.]

I did a sysupdate and see one warning that I suspect is innocuous?

Ran it again and was told that everything is up to date:

f86cc3e912e1598ff0df63b053dcb49b24e7f758 usbxhci: preserve RsvdP bits in

After:

mk libs



Getting:

I tried "mk all" instead and it came back to this same error.

You need to rebuild your compiler, I added binary constants to the compiler and made use of them
for bitmasks for the power64 disassembler.


Thank you,

As moody said, your compilers are out of date.  Given how old this
change is (1.5 years), I recommend pulling the latest binaries and
libraries from the last release ISO [1] or a nightly [2] to avoid
headaches.

Thanks, I tried cd cmd/7c; mk; mk install which seemed to work as 
expected, but I am still getting the error below when I try to mk libs 
from /sys/src (and it happens when running 7c).

I tried running mk all from /sys/src/cmd and hit an error that it was 
unable to open libpcm when building audio:

7l  -o 7.out pcmconv.7
??none??: cannot open file: /arm64/lib/libpcm.a
mk: 7l  -o ...  : exit status=rc 35585: 7l 35587: error
mk: for (i in ...  : exit status=rc 35573: rc 35583: mk 35584: error
mk: for(i in 1a ...  : exit status=rc 35470: rc 35570: mk 35572: error
mk: mk $MKFLAGS all.dirs  : exit status=rc 35448: mk 35450: error


I then tried an mk install from that directory anyway as a number of 
things got built before that and I considered that maybe one of them 
would help with either issue, but I am still hitting the pcm error when 
I mk all in cmd and the qdb error when doing mk libs.

This just means that you need to build libpcm in /sys/src/libpcm, also
a recent addition.  However you might hit other issues if you only
rebuilt 7c and not 7a/7l first, which is why I recommend just copying
over the latest binaries and libraries from an ISO -- or from `9fs
9front`.

It seems clear to me that parts of your tree are outdated.
You've likely gotten bit by the git bug here, I am copying here what I sent
ron in the other thread. You'll likely have to go through all of it:

; bind -ac /dist/plan9front /
; cd /
; git/diff -s /
# check if you see any differences that explain this discrepancy.
# if not continue
; mkdir -p .git/index9
; mv .git/INDEX9 .git/INDEX9borked
; git/diff -s /
# git will print the instructions to regenerate the index
# do those then continue
; git/diff -s /
# git/revert what it reports

Thanks, it looks like this gave me what I needed.

Actually, git was so out of date that INDEX9 did not exist, but I was 
able to mk install just git, which gave me instructions to add that, and 
I followed through from there.

After that I did a mk clean then mk install on 7a, 7l and 7c and was 
able to mk install successfully from /sys/src for arm64.  I am going to 
follow up similarly for the other architectures I am interested in, and 
I have one more installation to update, which is probably just as 
hopelessly out of date, but at least now I have a plan to work from.
