Subject: GCC does not build gfortran !!

Dear all,
When I try to build my gcc (version 4.2.2) it does not
build gfortran.

when I run:
.../gcc-4.2.2/configure --prefix=/usr/prog/gcc
--enable-languages=all

I get the follwing config.log file:

checking for any version of mpfr.h... no
The following languages will be built: c,c++,java,objc
*** This configuration is not supported in the
following subdirectories:
     target-libada gnattools target-libgfortran
    (Any other directories should still work fine.)
____________
You need that header.  It should be installed with the development version of mpfr libraries. It's easy enough to build and install mpfr from source, if you aren't sure of finding the right version. I too miss the point of having mpfr builds with and without mpfr.h.

This is the part in configure.ac that you are trying to trigger:

if test "x$with_mpfr$with_mpfr_include$with_mpfr_lib" = x && test -d
${srcdir}/mpfr; then
  gmplibs='-L$$r/$(HOST_SUBDIR)/mpfr/.libs
-L$$r/$(HOST_SUBDIR)/mpfr/_libs '"$gmplibs"
  gmpinc='-I$$r/$(HOST_SUBDIR)/mpfr -I$$s/mpfr '"$gmpinc"
  # Do not test the mpfr version.  Assume that it is sufficient, since
  # it is in the source tree, and the library has not been built yet
  # but it would be included on the link line in the version check below
  # hence making the test fail.
  have_gmp=yes
fi

And similarly with gmp.

Are you sure that you put the gmp and mpfr directories in the right
place?  ie, $(srcdir)/gmp?

I finally found some to time to try it. Only - ./configure still tested the 
pre installed version of gmp and failed. Since I am not root I can't remove 
the pre installed version. So another dead end in the battle with gmp / mpfr.

It think that when GCC 4.3.0 goes live this group will be swamped with gmp / 
mpfr related posts. Mark my word.

No problem.  I don't have much to offer, but where I can help, I do :)

FYI, the way that I understand it from previous emails I sent to the
gcc list is that when done this way, gmp and mpfr will be compiled
with an extremely compatible set of options, so it will definitely not
be optimized for yoru specific platform.  It'll work, though, which is
the important part.

Thanks for the hint - especially mentioning the need for "mv". I heard about 
this option before but then this "minor" detail not mentioned.

Thank you for the hind - maybe I give it another try. But it does prove my 
point that GMP/MPFR combo is a pain in the arse - At least on a 
non-mainstream (i.E. Linux) platform.

If you put the gmp and mpfr source in subdirectories of the gcc tree,
gcc will build them automatically for you and you don't have to worry
about anything.  I do this on 5 different build platforms, and it
works superbly.

You can put this in a script:

cd gcc

wget -qO- ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gmp/gmp-4.2.2.tar.bz2 | tar xjf - &&
mv gmp-4.2.2 gmp

wget -qO- http://www.mpfr.org/mpfr-current/mpfr-2.3.0.tar.bz2 | tar
xjf - && mv mpfr-2.3.0 mpfr


The rest is seemless.  You don't even need to use the --with-gmp and
--with-mpfr options.  It's wonderful.

Note that in gcc 4.3, all languages will require GMP and MPFR, not
just Fortran.

The issue on Solaris is that GMP defaults to building a 64-bit library even when the rest of your toolchain is 32-bit. Force GMP to build as 32-bit and it should work; I think you can do this by passing --host=sparc-sun-solaris2.10 (i.e. not sparc64) to configure.

In the past The GNU Ada Project created Fortran just for the fun of it  
- but we have given up on it - not because we don't like Fortran or  
compiling Fortran is troublesome.

No it's because of GMP and MPFR. Fortran now needs those two libraries  
to be installed. And those two are a real pain in the arse. If your  
distribution hasn't got them I pity you.

Here an except from my latest Solaris compile:

And even if you manage to compile them both the trouble does not end.  
No guarantee that GCC will like the freshly compiled libs. Not  
dynamic, not at the right place - the list of problems is endless. I  
regret the time I wasted on it.

In the past Ada was the most difficult language (self hosted - you  
need a working Ada compiler to create the Ada compiler) - but now it's  
Fortran with it's insistence on GMP and MPFR.

This is the problem: gfortran depends on MPFR. These two lines mean that you have the MPFR headers installed but that it can't link against the MPFR library. You may not have it installed correctly or it may be in a path that the linker isn't searching.

You can find the actual link error in config.log if that helps you debug this.

Good luck!
Rup.
