compiling gcc 2.8.1 on hpux 10.20

[Brandon Metcalf]

I'm having a couple of problems compiling gcc 2.8.1 on hpux 10.20.
Since -g isn't supported unless I use gas, I configured with
--with-gnu-as and made sure gas is the one found when typing as:

baycat objdir $ whence as
/nms/tools/bin/HP-UX/as
baycat objdir $ as -v
GNU assembler version 2.9.1 (hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20), using BFD version
2.9.1
baycat objdir $


However, when compiling gcc, I get the following:

echo "__foo () {}" > dummy.c
./xgcc -B./  -DIN_GCC    -g -I./include  -c dummy.c
as: "/var/tmp/cca18394.s", line 10: error 1052: Directive name not
recognized - FILE
as: "/var/tmp/cca18394.s", line 12: error 1052: Directive name not
recognized - STABS
as: "/var/tmp/cca18394.s", line 13: error 1052: Directive name not
recognized - STABS
as: "/var/tmp/cca18394.s", line 18: error 1052: Directive name not
recognized - STABS
as: "/var/tmp/cca18394.s", line 19: error 1052: Directive name not
recognized - STABS

Does anyone know what the problem is?

Thanks,
Brandon

You're in luck!  I recently solved this problem.  I asked the same thing
here but just got read the FAQ.  True it was in the FAQ, but knowing the
symptom is not the same as knowing the problem, so it was a bear
to find.

Basically, even though you told configure to use gnu as (--with-gnu-as)
and even though you may have your PATH set up right, it is ignoring it.

Not sure about 2.8.1, but for the 2.95.2 release, there is a
--with-as=/your/path/to/as

You may have to find the HP as on that machine (/usr/ccs/bin/as, I think)

and rename it so configure finds gnu as later in the path.

Read the instructions carefully.  gcc doesn't use your path to choose its as,
it uses its own path, including the directory which you configured in
--prefix=...   so you must arrange to have it appear fully installed there.
