Hello,
On Jan 27, I was desperate and I wrote:
Hello,
I am trying to compile gcc on a Solaris 9 machine. I configure gcc
with the following script :
../../gcc-4.2.2/configure \
--prefix=/usr/local/sparc-solaris9-32 \
--with-gnu-as \
--with-gnu-ld \
--with-as=/usr/local/sparc-solaris9-32/bin/as \
--with-ld=/usr/local/sparc-solaris9-32/bin/ld \
--enable-languages="c,c++,ada" \
--with-gmp=/usr/local/sparc-solaris9-32 \
--with-mpfr=/usr/local/sparc-solaris9-32
I compiled and installed binutils-2.18.50, gmp 4.2.1, mpfr-2.2.0.
The current version of gcc (the one I use to compile) is 4.2.0
Configure runs fine. The I do "make" and everything works fine until
it enters the 'gcc' directory. Then it fails because there is no
Makefile in it.
The content of gcc/ is :
-rw-r--r-- 1 paul staff 0 janv 27 14:21 config.cache
-rw-r--r-- 1 paul staff 248871 janv 27 14:22 config.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 paul staff 522 janv 27 14:22 configargs.h
-rwxr-xr-x 1 paul staff 508808 janv 27 14:21
configure.lineno
-rw-r--r-- 1 paul staff 24 janv 27 14:22 gthr-default.h
I do not understand why the Makefile in 'gcc' is not generated. So I
need help, and I thank in advance those who will spend their time to
help me.
Eventualy, after some days of search, I found the problem.
I compiled binutils (I had to do so since Solaris ld had alignment
problems).
Using these binutils, "as --version" replies :
Assembleur GNU (GNU Binutils) 2.18.50.20071204

Cet assembleur a ?t? configur? pour la cible ? sparc-sun-solaris2.9 ?.
How did I generate this message in French ? I do not know! But this is
the source of the problem
When gcc/configure runs, it checks this version to see if it is >
2.11. It does that at line 14023. In the following lines, it tries to
extract the version.
at line 14025, we get as_ver=Assembleur GNU (GNU Binutils)
2.18.50.20071204
then as_major: Assembleur GNU (GNU Binutils) 2
and as_minor: 18
At line 14028, there is an error: test: too many arguments
so gcc/configure aborts ; the Makefile is not generates. The "make"
continues its processing (so the message disapears in a lot of output).
I modified a little my gcc/configure so that it parses correctly the
major version (but that is a quick and very very dirty fix).
I hope this will help some others...
Paul
