I am trying to build a GCC (version 4.9.3)cross compiler on my windows machine using Cygwin. I am using the source package that came along with cygwin. I have already built binutils version 2.25 and installed, this is through cygwin as well. binutils configuration used: ../binutils-x.y.z/configure --target=$TARGET --prefix="$PREFIX" --with-sysroot --disable-nls --disable-werror I then configured GCC with the following configuration ../gcc-x.y.z/configure --target=$TARGET --prefix="$PREFIX" --disable-nls --enable-languages=c,c++ --without-headers --disable-threads --with-newlib Then the make all-gcc went through fine. I am getting error when I try to run make all-target-libgcc Following is the error that I encounter. # @multilib_flags@ is still needed because this may use # /build/gcc/./gcc/xgcc -B/build/gcc/./gcc/ -B/usr/local/cross/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ -B/usr/local/cross/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/lib/ -isystem /usr/local/cross/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/include -isystem /usr/local/cross/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu # @multilib_dir@ is not really necessary, but sometimes it has # more uses than just a directory name. /bin/sh ../../../../../usr/src/gcc-4.9.3-1.src/gcc-4.9.3/libgcc/../mkinstalldirs 32 /build/gcc/./gcc/xgcc -B/build/gcc/./gcc/ -B/usr/local/cross/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ -B/usr/local/cross/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/lib/ -isystem /usr/local/cross/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/include -isystem /usr/local/cross/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/s si2_s.o _bswapdi2_s.o _clrsbsi2_s.o _clrsbdi2_s.o _fixunssfsi_s.o _fixunsdfsi_s.o _fixunsxfsi_s.o _fixsfdi_s.o _fixdfdi_s.o _fixxfdi_s.o _fixunssfdi_s.o _fixunsdfdi_s.o _fixunsxfdi_s.o _floatdisf_s.o _floatdidf_s.o _floatdixf_s.o _ /usr/local/cross/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find crti.o: No such file or directory /usr/local/cross/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lc /usr/local/cross/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find crtn.o: No such file or directory collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status Makefile:937: recipe for target 'libgcc_s.so' failed make[3]: *** [libgcc_s.so] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory '/build/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/32/libgcc' Makefile:1136: recipe for target 'multi-do' failed make[2]: *** [multi-do] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory '/build/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/libgcc' Makefile:114: recipe for target 'all-multi' failed make[1]: *** [all-multi] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory '/build/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/libgcc' Makefile:11913: recipe for target 'all-target-libgcc' failed make: *** [all-target-libgcc] Error 2 Why am I getting this error. What could I do to overcome this problem? Thank you, Sindhu
