Compiling 2.95.2 on Solaris 2.6 x86

Compiling 2.95.2 on Solaris 2.6 x86

[Quentin Bennett]

Hi,

I came across two problems doing this.

My first attempt was

cd /data/src/gcc
gzip -d gcc-2.95.2.tar.gz
tar xf gcc-2.95.2.tar
mkdir gccobjs
cd gccobjs
../gcc-2.95.2/configure
make bootstrap

This resulted in the system.h header not being found for texinfo/makeinfo,
because it was looked for in /data/src/gcc/gccobjs/texinfo/lib, when in fact
it was in /data/src/gcc/gcc.2-95.2/texinfo/lib. i.e. the -I ../lib pointed
to the object directories, not the source directories.

So next I did

cd ../gcc-2.95.2		# go back to source
./configure
make bootstrap

This was more successful until doing a make compare in ./gcc, when the
following command:

case "compare" in compare | compare-lean ) stage=2 ;; * ) stage=`echo
compare | sed -e 's,^compare\([0-9][0-9]*\).*,\1,'` ;; esac; \
for file in *.o; do \
  tail +16c ./$file > tmp-foo1; \
  tail +16c stage$stage/$file > tmp-foo2 \
    && (cmp tmp-foo1 tmp-foo2 > /dev/null 2>&1 || echo $file differs >>
.bad_compare) || true; \
done
case "compare" in compare | compare-lean ) stage=2 ;; * ) stage=`echo
compare | sed -e 's,^compare\([0-9][0-9]*\).*,\1,'` ;; esac; \
for dir in tmp-foo intl ch cp f java objc; do \
  if [ "`echo $dir/*.o`" != "$dir/*.o" ] ; then \
    for file in $dir/*.o; do \
      tail +16c ./$file > tmp-foo1; \
      tail +16c stage$stage/$file > tmp-foo2 \
        && (cmp tmp-foo1 tmp-foo2 > /dev/null 2>&1 || echo $file differs >>
.bad_compare) || true; \
    done; \
  else true; fi; \
done

failed with:

Bootstrap comparison failure!
cppinit.o differs
g77spec.o differs
genattrtab.o differs
cp/decl.o differs
f/data.o differs
f/target.o differs
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `compare'

Any suggestions anyone.

Thanks in advance.

  That's strange.  Are you using GNU make?  Building when objdir != srcdir
requires a make utility that understands the VPATH macro, I don't know
whether the solaris make does or not.

  I don't have any immediate guesses to offer about the comparison 
failures.
