problem when building xen from source by gcc4

Post #1 of 4 (538 views)

Hi every body
I am running fedora 3, and try to build the xen from the source
tree. When I use the gcc 4 , compilier complians for

/usr/src/xen-2.0.hg/xen/include/asm/processor.h:175: error: array type has
incomplete element type

this is wellknown problem of the compability of gcc 4; then I swithc to
gcc 3.3.6 or lower version to make the xen, this time the compiler
complian for

gcc -pthread -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -O2 -g -pipe
-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -m32 -march=i386 -mtune=pentium4 -D_GNU_SOURCE -fPIC
-m32 -march=i686 -fPIC -I../../tools/python/xen/lowlevel/xu
-I../../tools/libxc -I../../tools/libxutil -Ixen/lowlevel/xc
-I/usr/include/python2.4 -c xen/lowlevel/xc/xc.c -o
build/temp.linux-i686-2.4/xen/lowlevel/xc/xc.o -fno-strict-aliasing -Wall
-Werror
cc1: error: invalid option `tune=pentium4'

Any hint for that?

Thanks a lot

wei

Xen 3.0 will be gcc4 compliant. Xen-unstable is your best bet if you
want to use gcc4.

tune=pentinu4 is not understood by gcc 3.3 .. I would remove this from
the "Makefile".

I remove the options in all the makefiles I can find in the source tree,
but when make world, the option is still there, Is it generated by
autoconf? and My cpu is xeon, could it be the reason?

We found the reason is the gython is built in gcc 4, so either by
rebuilding python gcc 3.3 or 3.2 or modify the file
/usr/lib/python2.4/config/Makefile to remove any "mtune=pentium4" compiler
option.

It works now.

The lesson is fedora 3 uses lots of libs with higher version than the one
expected by xen, for example gcc and libcurl.
