Then we should find a good timing for switching to gcc12. My plan is that SLE16. Before this we should still use gcc-7 in 15-SP7.
Finally I choice gcc-12 for building ovmf on 15-SP7: ------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Oct 21 06:26:22 UTC 2024 - Joey Lee <jlee@suse.com> - Update to edk2-stable202408 - Features (https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/releases): ... - We also got image size issue when cross compiling x86_64 FD_SIZE_2MB image on aarch64 environment. So using x86_64-suse-linux-gcc-12 on SLE15-SP7 or Leap 15.4 codebases. Here is the pseudocode in ovmf.spec: ifnarch x86_64 BuildRequires: cross-x86_64-binutils if sle_version >= 150500 && sle_version <= 150700 BuildRequires: cross-x86_64-gcc12 else BuildRequires: cross-x86_64-gcc+gcc_version endif endif - The x86_64-suse-linux-gcc-12 be auto-linked to x86_64-suse-linux-gcc after installed cross-x86_64-gcc12. So we don't need to add any downstream patch for corss compiling x86_64 2MB image on aarch64. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Oct 9 06:10:52 UTC 2024 - Joey Lee <jlee@suse.com> - Using gcc12 for building x86_64 ovmf image: As the item 'Changed the approach for creating the edk2 source code tarball' in 'Update to edk2-stable202405' change log. We modified the folder name in edk2-edk2-stable%{version}.tar.gz source code tarball to avoid the size problem against FD_SIZE_2MB config. (bsc#1230425) We can use gcc-12 to avoid the size problem because gcc-12 supported __FILE_NAME__ macro for reproducing the size of firmware image. So we applied the above 5c8bdb190f6d patch and aldo the following SLE15-SP7/ Leap 15.7 specific patch for setting the gcc-12 as the default compiler for x86_64 ovmf: - ovmf-BaseTools-Using-gcc12-for-building-image.patch 'BaseTools: Using gcc12 for building x86_64 ovmf image' - This patch only be applied to x86_64 image when building on SUSE 15.5/15.6/15.7 codebases. Here is the pseudocode in ovmf.spec: ifarch x86_64 if sle_version >= 150500 && sle_version <= 150700 Patch13 ovmf-BaseTools-Using-gcc12-for-building-image.patch endif endif The main target is SLE15-SP7 and Leap 15.7. The SUSE 15.5/15.6 is for building in Virtualization development project on OBS: -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
