Re: [Xen-users] SOLVED: stubdom does not compile on ubuntu hardy amd64 with xen 3.3

["Ralf Hornik Mailings" <ralf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just for the archive or in case of anybody is interested in:

The problem is the missing stddef.h which resides more than one time  
on the OS.
I mistakenly thought, that there is an typo in the code, because one  
of this files is in /us/include/linux so I changed
#include <stddef.h> to
#include <linux/stddef.h>

But this was wrong and it is the wrong file too.
The right file to include is in

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/<version>/include/stddef.h

But the real problem goes here:

$XEN_SRC/stubdom/Makefile:

# Do not use host headers and libs
GCC_INSTALL = $(shell gcc -print-search-dirs | sed -n -e 's/install:  
\(.*\)/\1/p')
TARGET_CPPFLAGS += -U __linux__ -U __FreeBSD__ -U __sun__
TARGET_CPPFLAGS += -nostdinc
TARGET_CPPFLAGS += -isystem $(CURDIR)/$(MINI_OS)/include/posix
TARGET_CPPFLAGS += -isystem $(CROSS_PREFIX)/$(GNU_TARGET_ARCH)-xen-elf/include
TARGET_CPPFLAGS += -isystem $(GCC_INSTALL)include
TARGET_CPPFLAGS += -isystem $(CURDIR)/lwip/src/include
TARGET_CPPFLAGS += -isystem $(CURDIR)/lwip/src/include/ipv4
TARGET_CPPFLAGS += -I$(CURDIR)/include

Here we can see, that the default INC has been disabled  
(TARGET_CPPFLAGS += -nostdinc)
But how to find
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/<version>/include/stddef.h ?

The solution is to evaluate

GCC_INSTALL = $(shell gcc -print-search-dirs | sed -n -e 's/install:  
\(.*\)/\1/p')
But this only works with english, because the corresponding output in  
german for example is "installiere:" and then GCC_INSTALL will be empty.
However setting LANG=C does NOT always help since the operating  
language is different. At least it didn't work for me.
Only setting the system language to en_GB (or whatever english), or  
modifying the sed command helps here.

Ralf
