Unable to compile for linux-x86_64 target

Unable to compile for linux-x86_64 target

[felmur]

For the sole purpose of checking for any subsequent errors, I tried to define the missing variables to continue the compilation.

A similar error, i.e. missing references for some variables, also occurs in the errorreport.c file. Variables involved:

MSG_STRING_DISK_NOT_VALIDATED
MSG_STRING_DISK_WRITE_PROTECTED
MSG_STRING_DEVICE_NOT_MOUNTED_INSERT
MSG_STRING_DEVICE_NOT_MOUNTED_REPLACE_TARGET
MSG_STRING_DEVICE_NOT_MOUNTED_REPLACE
MSG_STRING_DISK_FULL
MSG_STRING_NOT_A_DOS_DISK
MSG_STRING_NO_DISK
MSG_STRING_ABORT_BUSY
MSG_STRING_ABORT_DISK_ERROR

Immediately afterwards, the compilation still stops due to the missing file: errorlist.h which is included by the errorlist.c file:

The name of the missing file perhaps suggests to me that this is the problem.
Ideas?

`Preparing the sources to build
After cloning the repository(s), git must be told to initialize the submodules that are included in the cloned repository. To do this run the following command in the cloned tree

git submodule update --init --recursive`

[felmur]

Ok, @Kalamatee.
Now, I have deleted the directory, git clone AROS, contrib and ports again, executed the commands:

git submodule update --init --recursive
./configure --target=linux-x86_64
make

But the compilation stops again, a little later than before:

Any Ideas?

[Kalamatee]

don't build inside the source directory - build outside of the source tree.

[Kalamatee]

see http://www.aros.org/documentation/developers/compiling.php#building-aros-in-different-directories

Thanks @Kalamatee, but I had already managed to compile Aros for linux-x86_64 outside the source directory, as you recommended.
I tried running it last night and it worked perfectly.
Now I will continue my learning and study of this fantastic operating system.
Thank you very much.
Greetings.

Hello Nick @Kalamatee,

In 2 days I compiled and recompiled AROS + CONTRIB + PORTS.
I used your advice:

git clone https://github.com/aros-development-team/AROS.git
cd AROS
git submodule update --init --recursive

git clone https://github.com/aros-development-team/contrib.git
cd contrib
git submodule update --init --recursive
cd ..

git clone https://github.com/aros-development-team/ports.git
cd ports
git submodule update --init --recursive
cd ..
cd ..

makedir linux-x86_64
cd linux-x86_64

../AROS/configure --target=linux-x86_64

make
make contrib
make ports

While AROS compiles fine with target=linux-x86_64, I had problems with some applications under contrib and ports.
For some it was necessary to manually download the sources and place them in the "linux-x86_64/bin/Sources" directory, because the remote sites were not responding or the package was no longer available at that link.

For others, as errors remained in the compilation, I removed the relevant folders and the compilation went well (ports/game/[arx | koules | wormwars], ports/graphics/grafx2, ports/text/annotate).

In the end, the operating system is compiled and works, with one exception: all the binary files produced by the compilation of contrib/gcc are NOT executable (even if the related "e" flag is regularly set) or corrupt. In the latest compilation, this happens:

• opening a shell with control-W and typing 'gcc' gives:
  gcc: file is not executable

• opening a shell from System and typing 'gcc' you get:
  gcc: object not found

• opening a shell from Developer and typing 'gcc' you get:
  /Developer/bin/gcc[1]: syntax error: ')' unexpected

I tried and tried to recompile gcc with:
make contrib-gnu-gcc
but the situation remains unchanged.

So I tried deleting everything and starting all over again 3 times, without the result changing.

Ideas?

I attach the image of my current desktop.
