ZeroVM gcc toolchain

How to build the full toolchain from scratch

Install Prerequisites

On Debian and Ubuntu, you will want to install these packages:

sudo apt-get install libc6-dev-i386 libglib2.0-dev pkg-config git \
    build-essential automake autoconf libtool g++-multilib texinfo \
    flex bison groff gperf texinfo subversion

Install ZeroMQ version 3.2.4 or greater. You can either install it through these packages:

http://zvm.rackspace.com/v1/repo/ubuntu/pool/main/z/zeromq3/libzmq3_4.0.1-ubuntu1_amd64.deb
http://zvm.rackspace.com/v1/repo/ubuntu/pool/main/z/zeromq3/libzmq3-dev_4.0.1-ubuntu1_amd64.deb

or you can install it manually (don't forget to sudo ldconfig after install) by following the ZeroMQ installation guide.

Setup Environment Variables

You need to set them up prior to building anything. We'll use the following variables:

ZEROVM_ROOT: should point to git clone of zerovm repository
ZVM_PREFIX: should point to an empty writable directory all files will be installed here after make install
ZRT_ROOT: should point to git clone of zrt repository

We will use these values for this guide:

export ZEROVM_ROOT=$HOME/zerovm
export ZVM_PREFIX=$HOME/zvm-root
export ZRT_ROOT=$HOME/zrt

Clone Things

git clone https://github.com/zerovm/zerovm.git $ZEROVM_ROOT
git clone https://github.com/zerovm/validator.git $ZEROVM_ROOT/valz

git clone https://github.com/zerovm/zrt.git $ZRT_ROOT

git clone https://github.com/zerovm/toolchain.git $HOME/zvm-toolchain
cd $HOME/zvm-toolchain/SRC
git clone https://github.com/zerovm/linux-headers-for-nacl.git
git clone https://github.com/zerovm/gcc.git
git clone https://github.com/zerovm/glibc.git
git clone https://github.com/zerovm/newlib.git
git clone https://github.com/zerovm/binutils.git

Build ZeroVM

cd $ZEROVM_ROOT/valz
make validator
sudo make install
cd $ZEROVM_ROOT
make all install PREFIX=$ZVM_PREFIX

Build Toolchain

cd $HOME/zvm-toolchain
make -j8

If something goes wrong you will need to delete everything (apart from zerovm and validator) in the $ZVM_PREFIX directory and only then do make clean and make (this is how the gcc toolchain works, sadly).

Example of cleanup procedures:

cd $HOME/zvm-toolchain
make clean
cd $ZVM_PREFIX
rm -fr *
cd $ZEROVM_ROOT
make install PREFIX=$ZVM_PREFIX

Now you can run zerovm tests

export PATH=$ZVM_PREFIX/bin:$PATH
cd $ZEROVM_ROOT
./ftests.sh

Install Debugger

Debugger prerequisites:

sudo apt-get install flex bison groff libncurses5-dev libexpat1-dev

cd $HOME/zvm-toolchain/SRC
git clone https://github.com/zerovm/gdb.git
cd gdb
mkdir BUILD
cd BUILD
../configure --program-prefix=x86_64-nacl- --prefix=$ZVM_PREFIX
make -j4
make install
