Running gem5 with DramSim2 - linux

So I've been able to build gem5 and run full system simulation . Now i want to integrate it with dramSim2 .I cloned the dramsim2 into ext directory in gem5. I ran the following command to build the .opt file
again
scons build/ARM/gem5.opt
The error it throws is -
build/dramsim2/DRAMSim2/BusPacket.cpp: In member function 'void
DRAMSim::BusPacket::print(uint64_t, bool)':
build/dramsim2/DRAMSim2/BusPacket.cpp:63:2: error: nonnull

cc1plus: all warnings being treated as errors

Anyone know what it means ?

Dramsim2 is outdated, and its original author stop actively maintaining the project. Although you may want to fix the codes as described here, can you simply test if the build passes the failure point by additionally giving -Wno-nonnull compilation switch?

I solved this problem . I changed gcc, g++ version.
I changed gcc version from 6.0 to 4.8.
Use this command and change the version.
sudo update-alternatives --config gcc
sudo update-alternatives --config g++

Why does/can my build access sysctl on Linux?

I inherited a C++ code with a dependency to OpenMPI that I want to delegate to Conan and CMake, and the automated build has a strange (to me at least) behavior related to sysctl that I want to understand.
How I tried to do it
I declared the required dependencies in my root CMakeLists.txt:
Note: I added the full list of requirements because I also suspect that some of them may be in conflict? That happened before with boost, that forced me to set explicitly zlib (if i remember correctly).
# stuff ...
conan_cmake_configure(
REQUIRES
zlib/1.2.12
mp-units/0.7.0
boost/1.79.0
openmpi/4.1.0
gsl/2.7
cspice/0067
GENERATORS
cmake
# that is required for cspice
CMakeDeps
CMakeToolchain
)
# more stuff ...
and then in the application CmakeLists.txt I find, include and link the executable to the required libraries:
add_executable(spock main.cpp)
find_package(cspice REQUIRED)
find_package(openmpi REQUIRED)
target_include_directories(
spock PRIVATE $<BUILD_INTERFACE:${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/include>
$<BUILD_INTERFACE:${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR}/include>
openmpi_INCLUDE_DIRS
cspice_INCLUDE_DIRS
)
target_link_libraries(spock
CONAN_PKG::boost
CONAN_PKG::mp-units
openmpi::openmpi
cspice::cspice
)
# We need C++ 20 activated with the concepts library
target_compile_features(spock PUBLIC cxx_std_20)
Problem: undefined reference to sysctl ... on my local system only.
Building on my local machine with CMake 3.23.2 results in the following error message:
Consolidate compiler generated dependencies of target spock
[ 25%] Building CXX object src/CMakeFiles/spock.dir/main.cpp.o

gmake[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:135: src/CMakeFiles/spock.dir/all] Error 2
gmake: *** [Makefile:146: all] Error 2
However, the same build on Github workflows on Ubuntu 20.04 works. What is weird. The only difference before apart the distribution version is that github wokflows use higher privileges than me on local (I believe?).
What I tried so far
I've been trying to read about what this sysctlreference is. And I found conflicting information:
Frrom this man page:
The sysctl() function retrieves system information and allows processes with appropriate privileges to set system information.
this similar SO question came to the conclusion that
Linux does not support this function (other OS like MacOS or FreeBSD support it)
A comment from the same post concludes that in Linux,
these details can be obtained by reading the kernel-provided
pseudofiles /proc/cpuinfo and /proc/meminfo
So here is my question: why does it compile at all on the remote server if this command is not supposed to exist on the OS used?

Mozilla syncstorage-rs installation / make fails under RHEL8

I'm currently trying to install Mozilla syncstorage-rs on a RockyLinux machine, and step by step I could reduce the amount of errors, but now I got stuck. I found in Makefile to execute the following command in case of SSL trouble, so I did so cargo build --features grpcio/openssl
and this is fine, this finally works:
cargo build --features grpcio/openssl
Compiling syncstorage v0.10.2 (/var/www/html/syncstorage-rs)
Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 35.59s
But when I try to now run either make run or make test or anything else, I just get:
= note: /usr/bin/ld: /var/www/html/syncstorage-rs/target/debug/deps/libopenssl-dc6f50ea1194640f.rlib(openssl-dc6f50ea1194640f.openssl.9bacb62b-cgu.1.rcgu.o): undefined reference to symbol 'OPENSSL_cipher_name##OPENSSL_1_1_1'

error: could not compile `syncstorage` due to previous error
make: *** [Makefile:45: test] Error 101
What am I missing? I thought after building it could be run easily.
So the answer is to use cargo clean before continuing. I don't know why, but there seemed to be some old artifacts even if I hadn't built before. However, after executing cargo clear command, the build openssl runs completely (many lines more than before) and after that, there is one more little step to do:
python3 -m venv venv # creates a virtual environment named "venv"
source venv/bin/activate # enters the virtual environment
python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt # installs the packages
and finally make run works.

undefined reference to `__gcov_exit'?

while I am building glibc library using yocto project it is giving
error: missing attribute ((constructor)) support??
after adding the coverage flags:
TARGET_CFLAGS += "-fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage"
TARGET_LDFLAGS += "-lgcov -fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage"
still, I am getting an error for glibc.
Please find the link of config log file : https://drive.google.com/file/d/14tiQJ8JIFE_tDWt3H9tS8zBBQROcZDNa/view
It is not working even after adding the following line in conf/local.conf :
EXTRA_OECONF = "libc_cv_ctors_header=yes"
Even i tried this
EXTRA_OECONF_append = "libc_cv_ctors_header=yes"
please find the config log file generated during compilation : https://drive.google.com/open?id=1kxTu8pt7h_9ty55OywP9Ilmmp04T61Rr
So, How to resolve this error?

You are trying to build glibc with -fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage in CFLAGS. That will not work. The errors you see are a result of these incorrect compiler flags.
A profiling glibc requires fairly substantial changes throughout the library and needs to be created by building with --enable-profile (which is not the default).
I had this error while I tried to enable coverage on a C project using a C++ test harness (CppUTest). Build system was handled by CMake.
Compilers and gcov were aligned on the same version (gcc --version, g++ --version and gcov --version gave the same version) but it seems that my build system was generated with a gcc 5 (resulting to an additional included directory by the linker: usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/5). I clean the build tree and generated it again thanks to CMake which fixed the error.

OCaml Compile Error: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lstr

I am trying to compile the source code of MEGAM Ocaml library on an Ubuntu 64 machine.
I have OCaml installed (v 3.12.1), using sudo apt-get install ocaml.
I am having an issue when running the "make" command in the terminal on the unzipped source code, with OCaml returning the error:
/user/bin/ld: cannot find -lstr
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
The makefile is producing the following two commands:
ocamldep *.ml > .depend
No error when run
ocamlc -g -custom -o megam str.cma -cclib -lstr bigarray.cma -cclib -lbigarray unix.cma -cclib -lunix -I /usr/lib/ocaml/caml fastdot_c.c fastdot.cmo intHashtbl.cmo arry.cmo util.cmo data.cmo bitvec.cmo cg.cmo wsemlm.cmo bfgs.cmo pa.cmo perceptron.cmo radapt.cmo kernelmap.cmo abffs.cmo main.cmo
Throws the error above when run.
I've tried removing the -lstr from the compile command, it stopped throwing that particular error but started throwing another error (Reference to undefined global 'Bigarray'), which is making me thing it might all be something I missed during the OCaml installation, some kind of PATH or reference I needed to set.
Any help is really appreciated, even if its just a shot in the dark, as am really struggling to come up with anything!
The instructions given here allow me to compile with no error. It boils down to:
locate libcamlstr
which tells me that libcamlstr can be found in /usr/lib/ocaml (YMMV), so I do:
cd /usr/lib/ocaml
sudo ln -s libcamlstr.a libstr.a
Then I'm able to compile the project:
cd /usr/local/src/cil
make clean && ./configure && make
You could just change the makefile from
-lstr
to
-lcamlstr

Problem in Cross-Compiling libSDL for MIPS Platform

I was trying to compile libSDL-1.2.14 for my mips platform.
But it was not successful.
These were the steps that I tried out :
export PATH=/opt/mips-4.3/bin:$PATH
Went inside the libSDL-1.2.14 source folder.
Gave a "./configure --prefix=/usr/local/SDL_Lib --host=mips-linux-gnu"
Executed the "make" command
This was the error received :
cc1: warning: include location
"/usr/include" is unsafe for
cross-compilation
./src/audio/dma/SDL_dmaaudio.c: In
function 'DMA_WaitAudio':
./src/audio/dma/SDL_dmaaudio.c:167:
error: can't find a register in class
'COP3_REGS' while reloading 'asm'
./src/audio/dma/SDL_dmaaudio.c:167:
error: 'asm' operand has impossible
constraints make: *
[build/SDL_dmaaudio.lo] Error 1
But then i reconfigured the make file by giving the following commands :
make clean
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/SDL_Lib --host=mips-linux-gnu CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/mips-4.3/mips-linux-gnu/libc/usr/include/
make
NOTE : /opt/mips-4.3/mips-linux-gnu/libc/usr/include/ - This is the path where you can locate the select.h file for the mips Platform.
It contains the definitions of the macros FD_ZERO and FD_SET.
Still I am getting the same error.
cc1: warning: include location
"/usr/include" is unsafe for

./src/audio/dma/SDL_dmaaudio.c: In

./src/audio/dma/SDL_dmaaudio.c:167:

Please help me with some valuable pointers.

Sen
First, don't set the path to the cross-compiler as the first part of your PATH, set it as last:
export PATH=$PATH:<path to cross-compiler>
It's safer this way. Second, run ./configure --help to get all the options. What that error message would say if it was smarter is the following:
You're trying to cross-compile since you're setting the --host flag
But you're not changing any of the other options for where to find includes and libs for the target environment
I'm going to use /usr/include by default
But that's for the host system which will not work when cross-compiling
Check what other configure options you need to set to tell the configure script where to find the .h files (includes) and the libraries for your target. These usually come with the cross-compiler that you download. Also, you should probably set the CROSS_COMPILE environment variable to the cross-compiler prefix before running configure. The prefix is the part before gcc in a cross-compiler, assuming you're using GCC as your cross-compiler.
