I can build GCC with "make bootstrap" however I am unable to get good results from the test suite. Using the method documented in this e-mail, I am getting this from the test suite: % egrep '==|^#' ../make_check.log | grep -v "tests ===" === gcc Summary === # of expected passes 24948 # of unexpected successes 1 # of expected failures 72 # of unresolved testcases 5 # of untested testcases 7 # of unsupported tests 312 === g++ Summary === # of expected passes 8419 # of unexpected failures 1117 # of expected failures 71 # of unresolved testcases 14 # of unsupported tests 67 === g77 Summary === # of expected passes 1115 # of unexpected failures 617 # of unresolved testcases 14 # of unsupported tests 6 === objc Summary === # of expected passes 822 # of unexpected failures 530 # of unsupported tests 8 === libstdc++ Summary === # of expected passes 1409 # of unexpected failures 1287 # of expected failures 6 === libffi Summary === # of expected passes 77 # of unexpected failures 77 # of unsupported tests 2 === libjava Summary === # of expected passes 1486 # of unexpected failures 900 # of expected failures 5 # of untested testcases 907 =================== =================== When I compare this with "http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2004-07/msg00258.html"; I see that I have passed the first set of tests pretty well (those summarised under "gcc Summary") however all the other tests fail a lot more than expected. The methodology I used to build and test the software is as follows: Log on to "Server" after ensuring that your ~/.cshrc is similar to the attached file to ensure a clean environment. Download the source archive for GCC 3.4.1 from the following location: ftp://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/gcc/releases/gcc-3.4.1/gcc-3.4.1.tar.bz2 Download binary packages for GCC version 2.95.3 and gmake 3.79.1 which have been built for a prefix other than /usr/local (to not interfere with users). Binaries built for prefix /opt/sfw are available from: "Solaris 8 2/02 Companion Software individual packages download" at: "http://wwws.sun.com/software/solaris/freeware/pkgs_download.html";. These packages also require "gcmn-1.0-pkg.zip" which is available from the same location. Put the downloaded archives "gcc-3.4.1.tar.bz2", "gcc-2.95.3-pkg.zip", "gmake-3.79.1-pkg.zip" and "gcmn-1.0-pkg.zip" in your home directory. Run the following build script (as yourself not root but remember to prep your sudo first): #!/bin/sh # Make a temporary directory and change to it TMP_BASE=/var/tmp/$USER mkdir -p ${TMP_BASE}/SCIS_Change_$$ cd ${TMP_BASE}/SCIS_Change_$$ # Unpack the GCC source archive using GNU tar bzcat $HOME/gcc-3.4.1.tar.bz2 | /usr/local/bin/tar -xf - # Unpack and install the binary packages (those prefixed with /opt/sfw) unzip $HOME/gcmn-1.0-pkg.zip unzip $HOME/gcc-2.95.3-pkg.zip unzip $HOME/gmake-3.79.1-pkg.zip sudo /usr/sbin/pkgadd -n -d SFWgcmn all sudo /usr/sbin/pkgadd -n -d SFWgcc all sudo /usr/sbin/pkgadd -n -d SFWgmake all # Now configure GCC # Set necessary environment variables CC=/opt/sfw/bin/gcc CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/ksh export CC CONFIG_SHELL # Configure in a separate build directory mkdir objdir cd objdir ${TMP_BASE}/SCIS_Change_$$/gcc-3.4.1/configure --with-gnu-as --with-as=/usr/local/bin/as --with-gnu-ld --with-ld=/usr/local/bin/ld --with-tune=ultrasparc --enable-languages=c,c++,f77,java,objc --disable-nls >../configure.log 2>&1 # Build using the binary GNU make I installed earlier /opt/sfw/bin/gmake bootstrap >../make_bootstrap.log 2>&1 When the build script completes, the software needs to be tested in accordance with the testing plan which is included below: In order to complete testing, additional software being "DejaGnu 1.4.1 or 1.4.3 or later" is required. The source code for "DejaGnu 1.4.3" can be obtained from: "ftp://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/gnu/dejagnu/dejagnu-1.4.3.tar.gz";. This downloaded archive should be placed in your home directory. DejaGnu 1.4.3 requires Expect which requires Tk which requires Tcl. All of this software will need to be installed under a prefix which is not being used by clients. Expect, Tk and Tcl are all available prebuilt for the prefix "/opt/sfw" from: "Solaris 8 2/02 Companion Software individual packages download" at: "http://wwws.sun.com/software/solaris/freeware/pkgs_download.html";. The files to be downloaded are: "expect-5.31-pkg.zip", "Tk-8.3.3-pkg.zip" and "Tcl-8.3.3-pkg.zip". Install the dependencies for "DejaGnu 1.4.3" first as follows: Log on to "Server" after ensuring that your ~/.cshrc is similar to the attached file to ensure a clean environment. % cd /var/tmp/$USER % unzip $HOME/Tcl-8.3.3-pkg.zip % unzip $HOME/Tk-8.3.3-pkg.zip % unzip $HOME/expect-5.31-pkg.zip % sudo /usr/sbin/pkgadd -n -d SFWtcl all % sudo /usr/sbin/pkgadd -n -d SFWtk all % sudo /usr/sbin/pkgadd -n -d SFWexpct all Then build and install "DejaGnu 1.4.3" as follows: Unpack the source archive for "DejaGnu 1.4.3" as follows: % rehash % gzcat ~/dejagnu-1.4.3.tar.gz | tar -xf - % mkdir dejagnu-objdir % cd dejagnu-objdir % setenv CC /opt/sfw/bin/gcc % /var/tmp/$USER/dejagnu-1.4.3/configure --srcdir=/var/tmp/$USER/dejagnu-1.4.3 --prefix=/opt/SCIS sparc-sun-solaris2 % /opt/sfw/bin/gmake CC=$CC % sudo /opt/sfw/bin/gmake install Now run the GCC 3.4.1 test suite as follows (NOTE the number "18746" will need to be substituted with whatever your directory is as a result of the Build phase): % rehash % cd /var/tmp/$USER/SCIS_Change_18746/objdir % sudo /opt/sfw/bin/gmake -k check >& ../make_check.log When the test suite has completed, run the following command to summarise the test results: % egrep '==|^#' ../make_check.log | grep -v "tests ===" Compare the output with the result published at "http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2004-07/msg00258.html";. Can anyone explain why I get these results? Would it help to install the compiler and then use itself to build itself?
