VBCC and PosixLib: #80000004 no matter what.

[admiral]

I have recently obtained an A500+ with kick 37.175 after years of not having an Amiga at my present location (I've got A500 and A1200 elsewhere, will retrieve at some point), which I'm having a lot of fun with.

I like development, so I set up a crossdev chain on Linux, with latest vbcc (0.9fP1) and dependencies. With that, I have successfully built and run a few programs, using vbcc's libc, amigaos ndk and both. I build the programs on Linux and send them zipped over the serial, then unzip and run at target.

Now I'm trying PosixLib: http://aminet.net/package/dev/c/vbcc_PosixLib

And I'm not having much luck. I haven't been able to get past the instant (CON: window doesn't even open) #80000004 treatment.

Here's what by all means should be a simple program, and how I build it:

int main(){
    int fd;
    int shit;
    fd=open("CON:",1);
    shit=write(fd,"Hello posix.",13);
    close(fd);
    return 0;
}

$ vc +aos68kp -o posix posix.c

# cat aos68kp

-ml=1000

I have no idea what I could possibly be doing wrong at this point. I've tried inverting -lvc and -lposix and a few other things, to no avail.

Please advice.

What happens if you try to open a normal file rather than CON:?

[Leffmann]

That's an illegal instruction exception. Try running it on your A1200, it may be that the library has inadvertently been built for 68020.

[admiral]

I should have thought about that (!). I'll pass the file to an emulated A1200 soon (no access to my real A1200) and report back.

Indeed! It works on my emulated A1200. I'll try and build PosixLib for 68k next.

Many thanks.

Yes. The default Makefile.68k builds PosixLib for 68020 and 68881.
I have probably never tried with 68000 or without FPU. So no guarantee it will work.
