Building didbs 9

build-didbs-9.txt

Building 0.1.9 - on Challenge/6.5.20
Full build path - assumes you do not have dids installed. Wget needs to be done by another system

$ su
# mkdir -p /usr/didbs
# chown myusername /usr/didbs
# exit

$ cd
$ wget https://github.com/danielhams/didbs/releases/download/0.1.9/usr-didbs-0.1.9-n32m3gcc.tar.gz
$ /usr/sbin/gunzip usr-didbs-0.1.9-n32m3gcc.tar.gz
$ cd /usr/didbs
$ tar xvf ~/usr-didbs-0.1.9-n32m3gcc.tar.gz
$ rm current
$ ln -s 0_1_9_n32_mips3_gcc current


# do you NOT need to do this unless you are NOT using 6.5.30

$ cd /usr/didbs/current/libexec/gcc/mips-sgi-irix6.5/9.2.0/install-tools
$ ./mkheaders


# You do NOT need to do this unless you want to build your own
# local didbs using dibs....

## this assumes you have pulled down the didbs repo
## i.e. git clone https://github.com/danielhams/didbs didbs.git

$ cd /usr/didbs/didbs.git

## this assumes you really forked  didbs, cloned your fork here
## did:
##    git remote add upstream https://github.com/danielhams/didbs.git
## to setup upsteam, and now you want to merge some new stuff from Thinly 

$ git fetch upstream && git merge upstream/master

## Ok, now, remove any existing .conf file- if this is first time
## it won't exist...

$ rm /usr/didbs/didbs.git/bootstrap.conf


## now run the bootstrap for the first time and setup all the destinations
## somewhere that makes sense to you. For me 'didbs9gcc' makes sense...

./bootstrap.pl  --packagedir /usr/didbs/didbs9gcc/packages \
                --builddir   /usr/didbs/didbs9gcc/sources \
                --installdir /usr/didbs/didbs9gcc \
                --compiler gcc \
                --isa mips4 \
                --elfwidth n32

## once that is completed, follow the directions from Thinly and run bootstrap again:

./bootstrap.pl


## enjoy
