I tried running this last night, and it had at least 5 hours to finish the following command: $ perl ../../gcc-4.1.0/fastjar/../contrib/texi2pod.pl -D fastjar > fastjar.pod and still did not finish it, the fastjar.pod file existed, but was empty. Anyone know what would cause this? between each build, I deleted all the files in the gcc dirs and the build dirs, re-extracted the gcc files (from gcc-4.1.0.tar.bz2 or gcc-4.0.3.tar.bz2 respectively), and reran the configuratior. Trying to build in the gcc soruce dir, I did the following: $ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/i386 --exec-prefix=/usr/local/i386 --target=i386-freebsd-elf Trying to build in ~/i386gcc-build, I did the following: $ ../gcc-4.1.0/configure --prefix=/usr/local/i386 --exec-prefix=/usr/local/i386 --target=i386-freebsd-elf or $ ../gcc-4.0.3/configure --prefix=/usr/local/i386 --exec-prefix=/usr/local/i386 --target=i386-freebsd-elf gcc dir: ~/gcc-4.1.0/ ~/gcc-4.0.3/ build dir: ~/i386-gcc-build my first attempt was a build of 4.1.0 in source, it failed by the texi2pod command above hanging, as described. my second attempt was a build of 4.0.3, in source, it complained about being built in source, and bailed. my third attempt was a build of 4.0.3 in ~/i386-gcc-build, which then hung at the above texi2pod command. my fourth attemp was a build of 4.1.0 in ~/i386-gcc-build, agian texi2pod hung. my fifth attempt, thinking maybe the pod files were documentation only, and I might get away without them (have documentation for the x86_64 build), so I commented out all the lines after the first few that parsed the command line. This time I got an different error, which, given the command line, can be easily attributed to me effectively squashing texi2pod and eliminatng it's output. the last relevant info I can think of: $ perl --version This is perl, v5.8.7 built for amd64-freebsd (with 1 registered patch, see perl -V for more detail) Copyright 1987-2005, Larry Wall Perl may be copied only under the terms of either the Artistic License or the GNU General Public License, which may be found in the Perl 5 source kit.
