I tried translating this thread to spanish and english but it's not accurate.
I'll be grateful if someone can explain me in english what I have to do to use the newlib.
Prepare 32 bit gcc which able to generate PE output; then download a-libs, ld-scripts and "include" headers. Then use "nostdinc", custom ld script and newlib a-files to generate static binaries.

I'm compiling GCC and BINUTILS following this guide
http://wiki.osdev.org/GCC_Cross-Compiler.
Is right to use 'i586-mingw32' as --target?

If you on linux, you can just install mingw32 package. Also, there's port of binutils for Kolibri on SVN

Do you mean that I don't have to compile GCC?
I've compiled binutils with the patch from the SVN and installed mingw32-gcc. But when I run `make` in 'newlib/' I get:
Code: Select all
gcc -c -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -DBUILD_DLL -D_IEEE_LIBM -I ./include -o crt/crtdll.o crt/crtdll.c
In file included from crt/crtdll.c:10:0:
./include/sys/kos_io.h:69:16: error: expected ‘=’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘asm’ or ‘__attribute__’ before ‘unpack’
void __stdcall unpack(void* packed_data, void* unpacked_data);

make: *** [crt/crtdll.o] Error 1

I suppose if you use binutils with i586-kos32 target, then you have to port gcc too. Otherwise you need to use i586-mingw32-gcc as compiler; check lua compile.sh/link.sh scripts:
download/file.php?id=3748

Ok, now I understand. Thank you SoUrcerer.
I will use that scripts as reference.

I modified the 'Makefile' in 'newlib/' to use mingw32.
Now I have i486-mingw32-gcc, i486-mingw32-ld, etc. But I get an error because i486-mingw32-ld doesn't find 'libc.ver'.
Code: Select all
i486-mingw32-ld: cannot open linker script file libc.ver: No existe el fichero o el directorio (in english: the file or directory not exist)

Thank you Serge.
I got an error about "-lgcc". So, after search I found the solution adding "-L/usr/lib/gcc/i486-mingw32/4.7.2" to the line that uses "-lgcc".
Now I have newlib built. I will try to use newlib and if works I will create an article in the wiki.
Thanks guys.

Есть вопрос.
Надо ли включать в SDK исходные коды пакетов (freetype ffmpeg cairo libpng, zlib etc) ?
