Hi.<BR>
<BR>
On my system I can<BR>
cd m3-sys/m3cc <BR>
cm3 -DM3CC_TARGET=platform <BR>
cd scripts/python <BR>
./do-cm3-all.py realclean skipgcc <BR>
./do-cm3-std.py platform boot skipgcc <BR>
./boot1.py platform <BR>
<BR>
<BR>
and for pretty much "any" platform it pretty much works.<BR>
Ok, on a 32bit host with a 64bit target, there is an error in JV.i3 or such because,<BR>
like TextLiteralF.i3, there is a declaration of a maximally sized integer.<BR>
This is an easy to fix compiler bug, soon.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Ratchet it down to just "min" and it works more, since JV.i3 isn't there.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
The result of this is a .tar.gz containing assembly source for all the Modula-3 code,<BR>
some .h and .c files, and a Makefile and alternate make.sh.<BR>
One can takes this to the target system, with a C development environment,<BR>
and finish the build, giving you a current cm3, which you can then use to build cm3cg,<BR>
and so on. (Some source files are also in the archive and updatesource.sh, but that's<BR>
not relevant to this email; they are typically edited files when doing a new port.)<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
So, my point is, maybe this should be run kind of like the Tinderboxes?<BR>
Spitting out current archives of all "active" platforms, regularly?<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
It is not as "good" as the Tinderbox.<BR>
There might still be errors in the C, link errors, test failures.<BR>
But it is pretty good.<BR>
<BR>
It gets a bit more testing across platforms and provides a good up to date start.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
And then, the list of "active" targets needs to be identified.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Oh, I forgot to mention, this only currently works for platforms for which<BR>
there is m3-sys/cminstall/src/config-no-install/platform, and NT386.<BR>
The others give an error about not liking the "unconfigured" config files<BR>
in the neighboring config directory.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Also, the .tar.gz is presently put at the root, which isn't right.<BR>
It works ok on Windows.<BR>
