# Software notes

This document lists some software known to build successfully, and any
special procedures necessary.

## sbase

Builds without issue.

## mcpp

Builds without issue. Requires `CFLAGS=-D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=200112L`.

## binutils

On musl systems, you must define `long double` to match `double` (as
below) to avoid errors in unused `static inline` functions in musl's
`math.h`. Note: this is a hack and won't be ABI-incompatible with musl;
things will break if any functions with `long double` get called.

```diff
-struct type typeldouble = FLTTYPE(TYPELDOUBLE, 16, NULL);  // XXX: not supported by qbe
+struct type typeldouble = FLTTYPE(TYPELDOUBLE, 8, &f64);
```

Requires several patches available here:
https://github.com/michaelforney/binutils-gdb/tree/cproc-fixes

- Disable `long double` support in `_bfd_doprnt`.
- Implement `pex_unix_exec_child` with `posix_spawn` instead of `vfork`
  and subtle `volatile` usage.
- Provide fallback definitions for `_libctf_*_` attribute macros,
  accidentally omitted when merged into binutils ([#25120]).
- Remove usage of `__thread`, only necessary when linking libctf
  externally ([#25120]).

Configure with

```
./configure --disable-gdb --disable-plugins --disable-readline
```

## gcc 4.7

Requires a number of patches available here:
https://github.com/michaelforney/gcc/tree/cproc-fixes

Also requires gmp headers modified for C99 inline semantics:
https://hg.sr.ht/~mcf/gmp-6.1/rev/53195faa26dfeafeacd57f54035373988e2a16a3

Build with

```
git clone -b cc-fixes https://github.com/michaelforney/gcc
cd gcc
hg clone https://hg.sr.ht/~mcf/gmp-6.1 gmp
(cd gmp && aux_dir=. ltdl_dir=. ./.bootstrap)
./configure --disable-multilib --disable-bootstrap --disable-lto --enable-languages=c,c++
make
```

## zstd

Requires disabling CPU identification inline assembly and deprecation
warnings.

```diff

## st

Requires a few changes to avoid wide string literals and including
`math.h` on musl targets.

## oasis

One of the main goals of cproc is to compile the entire oasis linux
system (excluding kernel and libc). This is a work in progress, but many
packages have patches to fix various ISO C conformance issues, enabling
them to be built. See the patch directories in the [oasis package tree]
for the patches used.

Currently the following build successfully:

- awk bc bearssl blind byacc bzip2 cmark cproc curl dmenu dosfstools
  e2fsprogs efibootmgr elftoolchain-libelf expat farbfeld file flex
  fontconfig freetype fribidi fuse git ii iproute2 jbig2dec kbd less
  libass libcbor libdrm libevdev libevent libffi libinput libjpeg-turbo
  libpng libressl libtermkey libxkbcommon loksh lpeg lua make mandoc
  myrddin monocypher msmtp mtdev nasm ncurses nsd openntpd openssh
  perp pigz qbe rc samurai sbase sdhcp sinit sshfs st swc texi2mdoc
  transmission ubase unzip utf8proc velox wayland wld wpa\_supplicant
  xz zlib zstd
- Various OpenBSD tools (acme-client diff doas fmt m4 patch rsync yacc)
- Parts of util-linux (fdisk losetup)

The following still need more work:

- efivar ffmpeg libfido2 libnl libpciaccess libutp mpv netsurf nginx pcre
  pixman python strace extlinux the\_silver\_searcher tinyemu vis
