soalris 8/9/10 target of gas

[sting sting]

Hello,
I had downloaded latest binutil tar file frrom redhat.

I want to configure gas on a linux mavhine,with target as solaris 8/9/10  on 
x86(for
cross compiling).

Now , according to the readme under gas

" The `configure' script accompanying GAS does not provide any query
facility to list all supported host and target names or aliases.
`configure' calls the Bourne shell script `config.sub' to map
abbreviations to full names; you can read the script, if you wish, or
you can use it to test your guesses on abbreviations".

well , I had looked at that comfig.sub under gas.
searching for solaris gives:

i*86sol2
sun4sol2
solaris1
sunos5*
sunos6*

I did not find no solaris 8/9/10.

Does it not support solaris 8/9/10 as a target?

regards,
sting

The canonical names are solaris2.8, solaris2.9 and solaris2.10 .

Does anyone have any objections if I make the changes to config.sub to
canonicalise solaris{x} solaris2.{x} for x >= 8?

I believe Zack had it summed up pretty well.

If I remember correctly, the thread some weeks ago was about making
changes to config.guess, which I naturally would agree cannot be made.

It was some weeks ago and I don't really remember now :)

--prefix is what you are looking for. It can be used to install to any
arbitrary directory, e.g.:

../binutils-<version>/configure --target=i386-sun-solaris2.8
--prefix=/opt/i386-sun-solaris2.8

No. --prefix is what you are looking for.

Hello
Thnxs Eric.

Well, you're right. I am really sorry .I did succeed with (from a separate 
directory)
../binutil-ver/configuer --target=i386-sun-solaris2.8
and afterwards make.

Now : I don't want to do "make install" because I want to keep use the
binutils on this platform also for non-solaris target (linux targets).
I want to run ./configure of gcc so that it will use the binutil with which
I performed make  (with target=solaris.)
Is there a way to do it ?

(When typing ./configure --help (from gcc)
the only thing which seems to me relevant is
--with-FOO=BAR. Is it this?)

I am quite newbie in this field of cross compilers so I
aplogoze if this seems trivial to some.

sting

That's not what I wrote.  You need to pass --target=i386-sun-solaris2.8 to 
the configure script and run 'make' from the _toplevel_ object directory.

Thnxs all ;

well I had tried it all from scratch again.

Now I had realized what happened:
the target i386-sun-solaris2.8 does not exist as I understand.

the ./configure target=i386-sun-solaris2.8 displays error messages
but **DOES** create eventually a Makefile; because I was n a haste and it 
was
quick I had missed that.

Any idea what target is valid for solris 8/9/10 ? (if exists at all?)
Here is the log of ./configure


../binutils-2.14/configure target=i386-sun-solaris2.8
configure: warning: target=i386-sun-solaris2.8: invalid host type
loading cache ./config.cache
checking host system type... Invalid configuration 
`target=i386-sun-solaris2.8': machine `target=i386-sun' not recognized

It looks like you ran make in the gas directory.  Don't do that.  Run
make in the top level of your object directory.

Also, never run ./configure.  Instead, run configure in an empty
directory.  I recommend that you delete your current working directory
and start again.

Thnks.
I had follwowed Eric Botcazou advice and tried:
./configure--target=i386-sun-solaris2.8 .

./configure succeeded, but make failed.
here is the log; I 'll appreciate any help.

The standardized names used by the GNU project.

> but  solaris2.8, solaris2.9 and solaris2.10 don't appear in config.sub.

Config.sub uses regular expressions and the likes.

Try to configure with --target=i386-sun-solaris2.8 .

First Thnxs;
second:
I don't know exactly what "canonical names are"
but  solaris2.8, solaris2.9 and solaris2.10 don't appear in config.sub.

should I understand from it that there is no support for new versions?
