Trying to build Mach on Ubuntu 20.10. I had a problem: From: https://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/microkernel/mach/gnumach/building.html I was doing: CPP='gcc -m32 -E -x c -undef -ansi' CC='gcc -m32' LD='ld -melf_i386' ../configure --prefix= --host=i686-unknown-linux-gnu configure: error: in `/home/paul/mymach/gnumach/build': configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables See `config.log' for more details
I fixed it with: sudo apt install gcc-multilib Also, after building mig: I was adding ~/bin to my PATH where ~/bin/mig was a symlink to ~/gnu/bin/mig ... as suggested in the doc... that was not working, as it search ../libexec/migcom from ~/bin rather than from ~/gnu/bin ... note ~/gnu/libexec/migcom exist So now I add to the PATH: ~/gnu/bin Now my current problem is: paul@jacko:~/mymach/gnumach/build$ LANG=C make gnumach.gz ld -melf_i386 -u _start -r -o gnumach.o libkernel.a liblinux.a liblinux_pcmcia_cs_modules.a liblinux_pcmcia_cs_clients.a liblinux_pcmcia_cs_wireless.a ld: relocatable linking with relocations from format elf64-x86-64 (libkernel.a(model_dep.o)) to format elf32-i386 (gnumach.o) is not supported make: *** [Makefile:4813: gnumach.o] Error 1 I begin to think I should build Mach on GNU Hurd/Mach.
