RE: I need help in installing gcc

[Adolfo Giannasi]

Dear people:
 
I may say I am new in compilers. 
I downloaded gcc-3.4.2, I configured by creating an objdir directory and using:
 
../configure --with-as=/usr/ccs/bin/as --with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld
 
Then I make bootstrap and the following error came up
Make: fatal error in reader: Makefile, line 64: Unexpected end of line seen
*** Error code 1
Make: fatal error: Command failed for target 'bootstrap'
Can someone help me?
Thanks,

It seems you're not using GNU make, are you?! You need GNU make version
3.79.1 (or later) as the prerequisites demand.

Btw, you may download binaries for Solaris from www.sunfreeware.com.

Also note, that it is HIGHLY recommended that your objdir should NOT reside
within GCC's source tree.
