Hello Again Taylor,
Once more, much obliged for the instructions. I complete all the steps on the x86 host system without error. However, when I scp the mit-scheme directory over to the odroid and run cd microcode && ./configure, i get the error "checking for native-code support... configure: error: unable to determine host architecture". I have to assume that putting the --enable-native-code=svm1-32le on this command couldn't hurt, so I tried that. it seems to have gotten rid of the architecture error.
Once on the
"make -j4 cross-target" step in the microcode directory, I get this error message "make: *** No rule to make target 'cross-target'. Stop.". The only way to get the make to move forward is to remove the "cross-target" argument. When I enter make -j4, it compiles.
Likewise, "env FAST=y make check" returns a "make: *** No rule to make target 'check'. Stop." error.
Finally, I tried to run the sudo make install command back in the src directory just as a shot in the dark. It returned the error below...
/bin/sh ./microcode/mkinstalldirs /usr/local/lib/mit-scheme-svm1-32le-10.90
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./etc/optiondb.scm /usr/local/lib/mit-scheme-svm1-32le-10.90/.
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./etc/plugins.scm /usr/local/lib/mit-scheme-svm1-32le-10.90/.
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 lib/*.com /usr/local/lib/mit-scheme-svm1-32le-10.90/.
/usr/bin/install: cannot stat 'lib/*.com': No such file or directory
make: *** [Makefile:881: install-auxdir-top] Error 1
This error I have seen quite a few times when trying this process on my own. It at least seemed to happen either when I attempted the install process multiple times or attempted the compile process multiple times. To get it to go away, I would have to delete the mit-scheme directory and re-extract the tar file so I could build in a clean directory again. I'm not sure why this is the case. I also have tried creating empty junk files in the required directories; such as
hack.com in the lib directory just to get by this check. However that method never gets me far.
Also, at your recommendation I am happy to say I have purchased a odroid C4! I'm actually using the xu4 for a physical design which frankly works much better with the placements of the ports on the xu4. While I like the stats of the C4, it will be a bit awkward to change the design around all the usb/ethernet ports at one end of the system. Either way, looking forward to tinkering with it!
Thank you for your time.
