Unable to compile "contrib" from github sources

Hi All
I'm new on this forum and i want to explore the possibility to port some software for AROS.
In last months i followed the developing of this interesting Amiga like OS, i have created an USB disk with
the latest release 2.4 of AROS-One, and try to compile with gcc integrated inside but had problems linking also on the shell the message didn't say much of what are the error, but the most important thing for me is cross-compiling.
So i started creating the Toolchain and the other things following your guide https://www.arosworld.org/infusions/forum/viewthread.php?thread_id=1201&pid=4162#post_4162 (i'm on Linux).
Toolchain and alt-abiv0-linux-i386 are building fine but i need SDL libs so i try compiling also "contrib".
So following your guide i downloaded (under AROS) and copied inside "alt-abiv0-linux-i386" next typed "make contrib".
But compilation stopped with this error:

Hope someone could fix this so i can continue on my AROS adventure.
Thanks

Hi and welcome to AROS

Looking at the output the problem seems to be that you are building master branch of contrib. Please switch to alt-abiv0 branch and hopefully this will fix the problem.

If you have other questions about development, let me know - I'm happy to help onboard new developers.

Cio Farox and welcome to the forum, what kind of problems you had on the Shell, can you give an example or a screenshiot ! I on my AROS One 2.4 do not encounter any problem compiling sorgrnti with GCC from a Shell ...

Before running GCC you gave the stack !

Thank you i followed the guide and i didn't noticed that i need to select the abiv0 branch.
Now i used "git clone -b alt-abiv0 https://github.co...ontrib.git contrib" to get the sources.
But compilation failed, most probably because of mixed compiled files.
So i restarted building alt-abiv0-linux-i386 and when it ends i'll recompile the "contrib".
I'll let you know if go well or not.

Ciao AMIGASYSTEM (I'm Italian too) and thanks for your Distro. The problem is not on you distro, but in how gcc is showing linking errors (or best is not showing). On Linux when you compile and link you have messages of warning and if you have an error the shell tells you what is gone wrong...in this case i received only a generic error. But this was only a test as i prefer to cross-compile.
Next time i show you a shot of the message.

This was missing in the guide. It's fixed now, thanks for reporting.

Please note that native compiler and cross-compiler are in same version (6.5.0). It means it's highly likely cross compiler will give you same errors. In case you are still having issues, please post the errors here and I will try to help.
