Some notes on building talos-op-build

Required packages on gentoo

When building on gentoo, the following packages need to be installed:

dev-perl/XML-Simple
dev-perl/XML-LibXML
dev-util/cscope
sys-libs/zlib[static-libs]

host-libopenssl-1.0.2m builds in 32-bit mode

If a compilation error complaining about the lack of <gnu/stubs-32.h> appears, this is because the libopenssl package is trying to compile in 32-bit mode and no 32-bit CRT is installed.

To fix, set the environment variable KERNEL_BITS to force a 64-bit build:

export KERNEL_BITS=64
rm -rf output/build/host-libopenssl-1.0.2m
op-build

Broken hcode reference

The Makefile for the hcode package (openpower/package/hcode/hcode.mk) specifies 37069e1756e2b8e70e8e185d28609414033dbc02 as the version to checkout. However, no such commit exists in the git repo (https://scm.raptorcs.com/scm/git/talos-hcode). Current master is at e45e1293f43a534fc180133ec588733035cd2dc8. Maybe Raptor forgot to push something?

As a workaround, change the value of HCODE_VERSION in the Makefile from 37069e1756e2b8e70e8e185d28609414033dbc02 to e45e1293f43a534fc180133ec588733035cd2dc8.
