Not the slightest idea what's wrong. The only thing I find about gimple-match is people complaining about how long it takes to compile. I am also not going to download a 13GB VM hardfile to look over... sorry. On my 4GHz 6 core AMD, I let the building run in the background while I read, watch videos...

Now that one is weird... it must be from using an older version of linux. When building gcc, you USED TO be required to put the source for GMP, mpfr, and mpc into the gcc source folder to build. Xubuntu 20.04 didn't bug me about it, so I didn't include those folders in the gcc folder like I used to ...

Makeinfo converts special files into man format. It's commonly needed for compiling tools so that people can do "man <tool>" to see how they're run. It's part of the texinfo package, which should also be installed for building tools. When you build something and get an error like "makeinfo is missin...

To build the toolchain, you need something to do the building. In linux, you install the build essentials, like this sudo apt install build-essential You're making a cross-compiler - you use the normal gcc AMD64 compiler installed on your system to compile a new compiler that runs on your system, bu...

Yes, good points. I like Discord okay, but don't spend much time on it. Only as needed. I still prefer email that I can respond to at my leisure, and boards like this one for organizing info and questions.

For what it's worth, I do find it much easier to search for answers on a forum compared to Discord. QFT Discord is good for asking a question and getting a number of (almost) immediate answers, but generally terrible for finding existing knowledge to browse through at you leisure. Discord is basica...

Not saying this is the problem, but remember the priority chain: S > A > B > G. For B to show up over A, it must have its priority bit set. If A has its priority bit set, B will never show over it. Another thing to remember is that transparent pixels MUST be 0. I've seen tilesets designed to use ano...

Newer versions may be necessary depending on your system. Remember that linux tends to be a little iffy on the latest systems. If you've got an older system, you can probably get away with a much older version. I'd recommend at least 16.04LTS. I tend to update every four years or so. I used to run 1...

Welcome to the site. If you're into Sega console development, this is a great site to join. Lots of people with lots of experience who don't mind sharing that experience with newcomers. If you need help, just ask. If you can help someone else here, chime right in. One thing I suggest is go through t...

For emulation, I generally use either Fusion 3.64 for Windows running in WINE, or picodrive compiled for linux. I like Fusion better, but it hasn't been updated in quite some time, so picodrive tends to have more features, like better support for the standard Sega mapper.

New update! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1C-mTeyLMPlQ6gX7DMarPlfEayTBH312t/view?usp=sharing Featuring: gcc 12.1.0 binutils 2.38 newlib 4.2.0 zasm 4.4 I've been building Doom 32X Resurrection, OpenLara, and everything else using this for a month or two without a problem, so it should be safe to up...

The source can be put anywhere. Most people I know have a Projects directory on their main drive where they keep everything they're working on, usually in subdirectories. For example, that archive on my drive is at (linux system) /home/jlfenton/Projects/toolchains/. It installs to /opt/toolchains/se...

You need my development toolchain. Either the predone archive in the tools section, or building it from source as described in a number of places. The very latest archive of the source for my Sega MD/CD/32X toolchain can be found here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1C-mTeyLMPlQ6gX7DMarPlfEayTBH312...
