Compiling Problem in Tiny Core Linux on PC104 board.
 

Hello All,
I am unable to compile anything on a particular system, and I need some help to track this down.

I have a PC104 stack, (VDX104 from Tri-M).
I have a CF card with GRUB installed and two partitions. A boot partitions, (sda1) and a partition for extensions (sda2).
I am running Tiny Core Linux.

I boot TinyCore version 4.7 with these boot options:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz text libata.dma=0 tce=sda2

I did a "tce-load -iw compiletc" It completed successfully.
This pulls down all the bits and bobs needed to compile a program using GCC.

I created a source code file: echo "int main(){return 0;}" > main.c
I try to compile it: gcc main.c -o main

I get this error:
gcc: internal compiler error: Illegal instruction (program cc1)
Please submit a full bug... yada yada...

I tried a C++ program with the nearly same result (g++ main.cpp -o main):
gcc: internal compiler error: Illegal instruction (program cc1plus)
Please submit a full bug... yada yada...

I don't know how to begin to debug this. I don't believe it to be an issue with GCC or the distro, as I have done the same steps on a desktop computer (with less ram) and have no issue compiling.

Anyone have an idea of where to start to try to fix this?

thanks,

for me it looks like an incompatible compiler (it means this cc1 is unable to run on that hardware)

pan,
Yes, I see what you mean. I did some digging and found my processor to be a p5 class, while gcc was compiled for a p6 class. The question I have now, is how do I find a binary version of a p5 class gcc, and runtime libs?

thanks,

This is just one of the problems one tends to encounter when using the target platform as a development host. I suggest moving your development process to a full-on workstation, where you aren't going to bump into some kind of resource starvation at every turn. In the process, you will be able to use modern/advanced editing and other tools, as well as easier backup, code versioning, and a system of deploying and managing runtime images.
