Hi, I have Ubuntu linux and I am trying to install Linux from scratch (LFS). I have a pc with intel 686 cpu. I follow instructions from page : http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/development/chapter05/gcc-pass1.html So I downloaded the latest gcc from gnu.org directory. It is version 4.4.1. Then I created gcc-build directory. Then I run : ../gcc-4.1.1/configure --prefix=/tools \ --libexecdir=/tools/lib --with-local-prefix=/tools \ --disable-nls --enable-shared --enable-languages=c this runs ok. I run : make bootstrap then I got this error after some time : make[1]: Entering directory `/mnt/lfs/sources/gcc-build/gcc' make CC=" stage1/xgcc -Bstage1/ -B/tools/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/" CC_FOR_BUILD=" stage1/xgcc -Bstage1/ -B/tools/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/" \ STAGE_PREFIX=stage1/ \ ADAFLAGS="" CFLAGS="-O2 -g -fomit-frame-pointer" LDFLAGS="" WARN_CFLAGS="\$(GCC_WARN_CFLAGS)" STRICT_WARN="-pedantic -Wno-long-long -Wno-variadic-macros -Wold-style-definition -Wmissing-format-attribute " libdir=/tools/lib LANGUAGES="c gcov gcov-dump " MAKEINFO="/mnt/lfs/sources/gcc-4.1.1/missing makeinfo --split-size=5000000" MAKEINFOFLAGS="--no-split" MAKEOVERRIDES= OUTPUT_OPTION="-o \$@" \ CFLAGS="-O2 -g -fomit-frame-pointer" WERROR="" make[2]: Entering directory `/mnt/lfs/sources/gcc-build/gcc' stage1/xgcc -Bstage1/ -B/tools/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ -O2 -g -fomit-frame-pointer -DIN_GCC -W -Wall -Wwrite-strings -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -pedantic -Wno-long-long -Wno-variadic-macros -Wold-style-definition -Wmissing-format-attribute -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../../gcc-4.1.1/gcc -I../../gcc-4.1.1/gcc/. -I../../gcc-4.1.1/gcc/../include -I../../gcc-4.1.1/gcc/../libcpp/include -c insn-attrtab.c \ -o insn-attrtab.o cc1: out of memory allocating 13495072 bytes after a total of 30965760 bytes make[2]: *** [insn-attrtab.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/mnt/lfs/sources/gcc-build/gcc' make[1]: *** [stage2_build] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/lfs/sources/gcc-build/gcc' make: *** [bootstrap] Error 2 I guess this a bug, so should I use oldest version of gcc ? And should I report this bug ? ( I am new to this, sorry).
