[M3devel] EXT:RE: [M3commit] CVS Update: cm3

Good.

Yes you can rename anything named NT386 to I386_NT.
They are the same.

I suppose maybe..if you upgrade from an NT386 system,
the result should be NT386, and produce NT386 by default.
That only explicitly I386_NT or cross (which requires explicit
target anyway) should switch to the new name.

I'd want any new users/installs to use I386_NT, but perhaps
it is rude to switch existing users/installs.

Probably what I did is default to the new names unless CM3_TARGET is set.

Does upgrade.py and do-cm3-all.py buildship work for you now?

Jay, Rodney, et al:

I am pleased to finally report
SUCCESS with rebuilding my cm3 on 32-bit Windows XP !

Thanks for the help.

I did have to restore my
bin, lib, & pkg folders from backup in order to get the rebuild to succeed after the last round of patches.  But, it works now.

I do have a question though.  I’m finding that I have to set an environment variable,
CM3_TARGET=NT386; otherwise, the compiler is trying to target I386_NT and since all my target folders in
pkg and in the sandbox are NT386, I run into all sorts of problems.

If
we should be using the new “I386_NT” name instead of “NT386”, can I just rename all my
NT386 folders to be I386_NT and stop setting the CM3_TARGET variable, or will there be problems with this approach?

FYI, here is the version info on my rebuilt compiler (without setting the CM3_TARGET variable):

Critical Mass Modula-3 version d5.9.0
  last updated: 2010-07-21
  compiled: 2013-09-25 04:53:00
  configuration: .\cm3.cfg
  host: NT386
defaulting to native build: I386_NT
  target: I386_NT

Thanks,
Randy Coleburn

And, my apologies, the upgrade procedure is rather in-place/destructive.

You must have  backup to try again.

I kind of want to fix this.

The way make-dist.py works is similar but

fixes this -- it builds into new temporary locations.

Upgrade could/should do that, and then copy back later on.

Please update m3-sys/m3front/src/misc/CG.m3 and try again.

I need to do more testing here though.. I'll try AMD64_DARWIN and I386_DARWIN

with "my change" (which is just a partial undo).

NT386 works fine on 64bit Windows..

The AMD64_NT target has a problem currently that I hope to figure out soon..

What version of cm3?

A release?

A random cvs upd time?

 64-bit binaries, or if more adjustment or a different approach is required.

 for a global variable of type BOOLEAN and size 8 (bits). So the 64-bit alignment request doesn't seem sensible. I can't guess where the 32-bit requirement would have come from. Is it a 32-bit target you are compiling for?
