MEMORY POOL SYSTEM BUILD NOTES Richard Kistruck, Ravenbrook Limited, 2005-02-02 CONTENTS 1. Introduction 2. Unix 2.1. Mac OS X 3. Windows A. References B. Document history C. Copyright and license 1. INTRODUCTION This document contains build notes for the Memory Pool System Kit. The readership of this document is anyone who wants to build MPS binaries from the sources. Read the readme.txt file first. This document is not complete; the MPS kit is buildable on many platforms that are not mentioned in these notes. The MPS kit is easy to modify such that it builds on many more. This document is not confidential. 2. UNIX Note that the first build in a clean directory will produce warnings because the dependency files (*.d) do not yet exist. The warnings look like this: comm.gmk:533: xcppgc/hi/mpsi.d: No such file or directory The warnings are normal and do not indicate a problem. After the warning is emitted, the build-system makes the dependency file. Subsequent builds in the non-clean directory see these dependency files and do not emit the warning. 2.1. MAC OS X 2005-02-02 Building on early releases of Mac OS X (DP3? 10.1?) required various workarounds to get a clean compile. These workarounds have now been removed from master sources. RHSK. See 2006-10-10 Intel Macs. It's now possible to use xci3gc.gmk to build on Intel architectures. Protection and threads not supported. 3. WINDOWS 2005-10-06 (1.105) All MPS versions are now built with /Gs (for compilations) and /GZ (for linking). This suppresses stack probe / stack check, which would otherwise require __chkesp from C library. This change was necessary to enable the new DLL version of the MPS, "mpsdy.dll". RHSK. See A.
