[ECOS] Redboot for i386 won't compile

[Trenton D. Adams]

I get the following error when trying to build Redboot for an i386 PC
target.  I would have expected the config tool to not pass to many files
to gcc!

GCC 2.95.2
GUI Config Tool 2.04
Windows 98

No, it's an odd symptom of a different problem. You moved your tools from
the location in which they were originally configured to be installed. They
don't like this :-). If you can't keep them in their original location, you
can set GCC_EXEC_PREFIX, e.g.

export GCC_EXEC_PREFIX=/foo/bar/H-i686-pc-cygwin/lib/gcc-lib/2.95.2

Note that this will screw up any other gcc's you have, including native
ones, while this is set as it will make them *all* look there for their
files.

GCC 3 doesn't need this any more so it'll be gone in future.

Oh, cool.  Thanks! :)

Could I put "export GCC_EXEC_PREFIX=/foo/bar/mygcclocation;sh-elf" in my
"Global command prefix" of the GUI Config tool?  That way I wouldn't
have to worry about it screwing it up for my other gcc compiler!

No, but you could do:

cd /where.sh-elf-gcc.is
mv sh-elf-gcc sh-elf-gcc-tda
cat >sh-elf-gcc
#!/bin/sh
export GCC_EXEC_PREFIX=/whatever
`basename $0`/sh-elf-gcc-tda $*
^D
chmod +x sh-elf-gcc
