Update toolchain and aux libraries #34
Conversation
|
Tested the fat driver, it works. I can't test the ext driver as it is still broken in XeLL. But it does compile. There might well be an issue with it, so if you want me to just remove it from the build script rather than just assume it does lmk. |

can i ask why you closed these? |
XeLL crashes when trying to load an ELF. I need to fix that before it can be merged. |
Are you sure it's XeLL that crashes and not the ELF itself? Also - did you use XeLL (old one) or XeLL Reloaded (new one)? did you use a re-compiled version with your fixes or a existing pre-compiled version? I recommend not closing PRs while investigating issues, just leave them open with a comment explaining that there is a known issue you're working on instead. |

Why did you disable the xtaflib here?

This was a mistake - I'll need to test if it works with the new toolchain first

Why disable all of these? && 0 is equivalent to false?

Yes, this is disabling the Altivec instructions which do not exist on the Xenon CPU. All of the GCC patches do this.
I recompiled XeLL Reloaded from the master branch with the new toolchain. I'm sure it's XeLL that crashes, as existing ELFs which work fine on older versions are crashing |
DON'T MERGE YET. LINUX LOADING/ELF LOADING IS BROKEN. I NEED TO MAKE CHANGES TO LIBXENON.
I also fixed up the fat-xenon and xenon-ext2fs filesystem drivers (yet to be tested but code changes I made were relatively minor and they compile), and I will look at fixing the others soon-ish. So please have a look at those pull requests as well, as the build script fails on the current versions on here.
