<jormundgand>I've been trying to build gnumach, but it seems I'm doing something wrong. There's a reference to KERNEL_MAP_BASE in i386/i386/vm_param.h, which seems to neither exist in mach or mig. <jormundgand>And I can't find anything that explains what this is supposed to be. I assume it's where it's supposed to be loaded by the bootloader? <luckyluke>jormundgand: KERNEL_MAP_BASE is used only for 64-bit builds, it's the virtual memory offset where the kernel region starts. it's defined in x86_64/Makefrag.am <jormundgand>I had to modify PATH to include ~/gnu/bin, so I could get mig, but otherwise, it was just doing exactly what the guide said. <jormundgand>I hacked the resulting makefile. -m32 wasn't added to the cflags, so I just added it manually. <jormundgand>I get an error in i386/i386at/model_dep.c. Probably stemming from the same root cause. <luckyluke>jormundgand: which guide exactly? I think there is more than one <luckyluke>in the READMEs of both gnumach and mig there are also some instructions on how to build the 32-bit version, either with a cross-compiler or using -m32 <jormundgand>Yeah. I got that. I set CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS to include -m32. <jormundgand>Tried a bunch of different options. I'm down to what I assume are autogenerated file from mig, that want points to be 8 bytes wide. <jormundgand>So it seems there are still some wonkiness with 64 bit infecting my build. <luckyluke>it could be that you build mig targeting 64-bit, you can also set TARGET_CPPFLAGS=-m32 only, if you want to build a 64-bit executable which generates code for 32-bit rpc
