Hello everyone, |
| 2 |
So the fourth week of Google Summer of Code has come to an end and here is my weekly report for the same. |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
This week we got a working prefix with Stage 3 compiling till the end. Profile for lp64d got merged as well. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
Earlier I use to pull my gentoo fork for testing but as the pull request for lp64d no-multilib Profile[1] got merged, I tested with the official Gentoo repository. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
Current approach is to fix the bugs locally and see how far stage 3 goes. So after the fixes we did in previous weeks there are 2 major bugs that need fix to complete stage 3. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
We need to add check for scanelf in bootstrap script as its needed in the host for ncurses to install during stage 2. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
libfl.so.6 library is missing due to which riscv64-pc-linux-gnu-ar and riscv64-pc-linux-gnu-ranlib fails to execute. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
I tried bootstrapping by fixing these issues locally and it continued till the end. |
| 15 |
It was decided that we add support to lp64d as of now and accordingly I have added the patch to Gentoo Prefix[2], other profiles are under 17.0 directory while RISC-V is under 20.0, it has been fixed accordingly. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Also continued documentation on “Porting Prefix to New Architecture” and Setting up RISC-V environment for testing prefix. |
| 18 |
In upcoming weeks I plan to continue testing with the latest packages and work on libfl.so.6 and scanelf issue. Post that I will work on keywording packages with RISC-V. |
