Hey, > I modified the sfe1.c as you suggested. previous error disappears > but I get 2 other errors generated while calling make bootstrap okay, that's not good. Usually, when working on a front-end, I disable the bootstrapping (using --disable-bootstrap) option to accelerate the build to get the new front-end as fast as possible. Even though the Make-lang.in of sample_fe isn't complete, it should be able to handle the bootstrap case But this error doesn't currenlty look like a problem to the bootstrapping. Which version of GCC are you using for your tests? Still 4.1.0? If you're still using 4.1.0, then the sample_fe might not work/build properly because it was "developped" and tested for 4.4.0. If you face these problems although you switched to 4.4.0, I need to re-check the bootstrapping case. If you however insist on using 4.1.0, I could prepare sample_fe for this version? > /usr/lib/crt1.o: In function `_start': > ../sysdeps/i386/elf/start.S:115: undefined reference to `main' > collect2: ld returned 1 exit status > make[2]: *** [gsfe] Erreur 1 > make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/charfi/Desktop/gccobj/gcc' > make[1]: *** [stage2_build] Erreur 2 > make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/charfi/Desktop/gccobj/gcc' > make: *** [bootstrap] Erreur 2 The linker is missing the 'main' function which isn't - as of 4.4.0 - not provided by the driver code, but by the GCC infrastructure (IIRC, gcc.c). So, I assume that just a different object file is missing for the final linking. Andi
