[9fans] Go Plan9 ARM Dreamplug

[Christopher Nielsen]

After a little work, I have a Plan 9 dev environment setup. My dreamplug
boots with no problems, and after installing python and mercurial, I was
able to clone the go repo. The build completes fine on 386, but on the
dreamplug I get the errors below. Yes, I know I should probably be running
as a user other than bootes; this was a quick and dirty install to get
things running. Also, opnames.h does exist.

dreamplug# ls -l /usr/bootes/src/go-plan9-arm/src/cmd/gc/opnames.h
--rw-rw-r-- M 15 bootes bootes 3273 Apr 15 02:47
/usr/bootes/src/go-plan9-arm/src/cmd/gc/opnames.h

Also, it doesn't look like the tests are being run on 386. Forgive my
ignorance, but is that currently intentional?* *I haven't had time to
search the list.

Thanks! I'm quite pleased to have managed to get this far with a little
weekend hacking.

I followed the directions from
http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/Plan9FromBellLabs
Nice doc to whomever wrote it.

So using contrib, I installed the following:

fgb/z
fgb/bz2
fgb/openssl
bichued/python
stallion/mercurial

A small caveat, I had to use mercurial on x86 (my cpufsauth server is an
x86 vmware instance), since there wasn't an arm binary. Other than that, it
was all pretty painless.

One may '9fs sources && fcp /n/sources/contrib/yk/5.python
/arm/bin/python' to add the ARM binary (without VFP instructions).

How do you get python to build without the VFP instructions?

don't pass 5l the -f flag.

the existing arm kernel emulates the older ARM7500 fp instructions, which
5l generates by default.

[Gorka Guardiola]

This is a known problem with 5c. It cannot switch on vlong. As a stopgap,
you can
change the types of the things being switched on to integer (type, if I
remember right).

I'll give that a shot and see if I get different results. It'll have to be
some time tomorrow though. What concerns me is that the error says it can't
find opnames.h when it clearly exists.

I saw the same problem and solved it by setting GOEXPERIMENT="". Not sure
that's the correct solution, but it worked.

I will look at it in more detail tomorrow, if I have time.

Somewhere the 8c fixes for the switch selector were merged together
with other changes and no one has been able to extricate them so they
could be applied to 5c (et al.). I believe that forsyth is looking
into this, but it would be great to have this fixed soon and Charles
no doubt has his own priorities.

But only src/cmd/gc/subr.c and src/cmd/gc/reflect.c suffer from this.
I have an (int) cast in the relevant switch clauses and it's been fine
for a long time.

Um. No, that's not the problem. In fact, the changes were redone ages ago,
and most of the work is done by port, based on per-platform settings.
The platform must support OREGPAIR in some form, and 5c does not.

I have got a 5c that does vlongs, and thus OREGPAIR,
but it won't compile ghostscript yet, so it hasn't been released.

I'm not sure how to phrase this, but presumably the Go version of 5c
has been upgraded to deal with vlong switch selectors: is the Plan 9
version going to differ a lot from the Go one? No offence intended
here, just some concern.

Just as I am concerned that the Go C compilers are now rejecting
pointers inside unions (if I understood the discussion correctly).

1) if you don't change the type of type to be int, it will give you bogus
errors, but
the real problem is that some of the files do not compile.

2) opnames.h is autogenerated by dist. IIRC there is no problem with it
(see 1).

3) I have GOEXPERIM set to ''. You need to set a ton of variables, out of
the top of my head,
assuming you are not cross-compiling:


GOROOT=/sys/src/golang #where the go repository resides
GOOS=plan9
GOARCH=$objtype
GOHOSTARCH=$cputype
GOBIN=/$objtype/bin
GOPATH=/sys/src/go #wher your go stuff resides
GOARM=5 #or 6 or 7, depending on your machine's support of floating point.
GOEXPERIM=''

Sheeva/Guru -- GOARM=5
RPi -- GOARM=6 or not set (GOARM=6 is default)
Not if DreamPlug is 5 also.

setting GOARCH=arm, etc. before all.rc on an x86 cpu builds Go for x86 and
arm.

Of the above, I think GOROOT is computed as ".." during build (from
$GOROOT/src), GOOS and GOARCH can be used to override the defaults,
which are as given by Gorka, to the best of my knowledge. GOHOSTOS
and GOHOSTARCH are almost certainly fine as computed, CGO_ENABLED is
useful and fussy: I would definitely recommend setting it to "0" for
Plan 9 use, it bites me every time I leave it unassigned.

GOBIN should be <something>/$objtype/bin in my opinion, I use
$home/bin/386 for experimental use.

GOEXPERIMENT is lost in the fog of time in my memory. I haven't used
it or needed it for months.

My "go env" on plan9/386:

term% go env
GOARCH='386'
GOBIN='/usr/lucio/bin/386'
GOCHAR='8'
GOEXE=''
GOHOSTARCH='386'
GOHOSTOS='plan9'
GOOS='plan9'
GOPATH='/home/Project/usr/lucio/Project'
GORACE=''
GOROOT='/n/go'
GOTOOLDIR='/n/go/pkg/tool/plan9_386'
CGO_ENABLED='0'

Note the weird GOPATH, it looks as follows in real life, I must report
this as an issue. I haven't had a chance to prove that it's a
problem.

term% echo $GOPATH
/home/Project /usr/lucio/Project

/home/ (and sometimes /n/home/ - it varies) is where I map
/home/lucio/ from foreign servers; no one needs to do that, it may be
a crazy idea.

And for those who may be curious, this is for the Sheeva:

bangle% go env
GOARCH='arm'
GOBIN='/usr/lucio/bin/arm'
GOCHAR='5'
GOEXE=''
GOHOSTARCH='arm'
GOHOSTOS='plan9'
GOOS='plan9'
GOPATH='/home/Project/usr/lucio/Project'
GORACE=''
GOROOT='/n/go'
GOTOOLDIR='/n/go/pkg/tool/plan9_arm'
CGO_ENABLED='0'
