Compiling gcc-4.1.2 on 64-bit Ubuntu machines

Compiling gcc-4.1.2 on 64-bit Ubuntu machines

[Olumide]

Hi all,

We are trying to compile the gcc compiler a 64-bit Ubuntu machine -- 
because that is the version of gcc that Autodesk Maya 2011 is built with 
and therefore plugins must be compiled against the same version of gcc.
See: 
http://download.autodesk.com/us/maya/2011help/index.html?url=./files/Setting_up_your_build_environment_Linux_compiler_requirement.htm,topicNumber=d0e677620

Following the instructions in this link we ran

configure --prefix=/opt/gcc412 --program-suffix=412 --enable-shared 
--enable-threads=posix --enable-checking=release --with-system-zlib 
--disable-libunwind-exceptions --enable-__cxa_atexit

followed by

make -j 2 bootstrap

Unfortunately, the process build with the error

/usr/include/gnu/stubs.h:7:27:/usr/include/gnu/stubs.h:7:27:  error: 
error: gnu/stubs-32.h: No such file or directorygnu/stubs-32.h: No such 
file or directory

make[1]: *** [stage1_build] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/oaina/Downloads/gcc412/gcc-build/gcc'
make: *** [bootstrap] Error 2

We've tried linking the file stubs.h in /usr/include/gnu/ to stubs-32.h 
and tried rebuilding, but this time we get the error message:

/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/../lib/libc.so when 
searching for -lc

make: *** [bootstrap] Error 2

-----------------------------------------------------------

Update:
We've set the CFAGS environment variable to m64 and tried rebuilding, 
and this time the process went much further but did eventually fail with 
the error message:

/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/../lib/libc.so when 
searching for -lc
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/../lib/libc.a when searching

Thanks,

- --disable-multilib or install the glibc.i686 bits.

The build fails with the following error:

You did not include enough of the make log.  You need to look farther up
to see what the actual error is.

Having scrolled too far, I had to run make -j 2 bootstrap again in order 
to get the following message. (I can do a fresh build if I need to.)

I'd just install the packages.

You'll have to do a clean rebuild again.

try to start all over from scratch, you did a "make distclean" right?
unzip the gcc tar.gz again and start from that clean point
(just a guess, I had that error many times with many software out there
because of a make distclean)

Also, it looks as though maybe you're building inside the gcc source tree:
/transfer/gcc412/gcc-4.1.2/build

Don't do that - the instructions you linked to correctly say to create
a directory next to the source tree and build in there.

I've done a fresh build, this time with the build directory outside the 
source but I'm getting the same error. Here's a much longer error dump. 
BTW, what am I missing? makeinfo, Texinfo or both or something else?

You keep not telling us things.

So, does "makeinfo" do anything?

I've now installed texinfo.

oaina@temp2:~/Downloads/gcc-build$ which makeinfo
/usr/bin/makeinfo
oaina@temp2:~/Downloads/gcc-build$ makeinfo
makeinfo: missing file argument.
Try `makeinfo --help' for more information.

Surprisingly, the build still complains that makeinfo is not available!

I've also tried running make after installing texinfo. I've put up a 
copy of the output on google docs, at: http://tinyurl.com/6bf4fnm .

Some older versions of GCC were broken with versions of texinfo with two 
digits in part of the version number.  I suspect that is the problem you 
are seeing.

What is the output of 'makeinfo --version'?  If it is 4.10 or later...

Good news.

Build was successful -- I think, here's the log file http://goo.gl/SnKsP

(I had to compiled and install textinfo version 4.9 and install the 
latest version ncurses in order to compile texinfo.)

I've also to compile a sample plugin following the instructions here 
http://download.autodesk.com/us/maya/2011help/index.html?url=./files/API_Writing_a_simple_plugin.htm,topicNumber=d0e657386 
, but I got the error message:
error: CPU you selected does not support x86-64 instruction set

I was able to compile and link sample plugin after I removed 
-mtune=pentium4 flag.

You can't use -mtune=pentium4 when compiling a 64-bit object, which is
the default on x86_64.  If you want to compile a 32-bit object tuned
for pentium4 you should use -m32 -mtune=pentium4

I would like to roll out the build to other machines (several dozen

IMHO getting the 'info' docs nowadays isn't in any way important, but
getting PDF-format manuals would be. Years ago I manually did them
using 'pdftex' on some old RHL7.3 or 8.0 but whether that would succeed
somehow nowadays is unclear :(  Maybe I'm living in a totally different
planet when needing (printable when needed) PDF docs for everything...

> I would like to roll out the build to other machines (several dozen

If I remember right, the goal was to get "plugins" for some AutoDesk
(Maya?) system which was made on/for RHEL4 which had gcc-4.1.2 as its
"system GCC". So the ultimate goal would be a (cross) "toolchain for
RHEL4 target with gcc-4.1.2".

But the original RHEL4 glibc etc. target libs are not freely available,
so what on earth to do?

   - try the "native" glibc etc. in the own development platform?
or
   - build a crosstoolchain with gcc-4.1.2 and with some freely
     available "very near" RHL4 target libraries like some CentOS
     ones? (Which ones for this case? CentOS5.x has gcc-4.1.2 and
     glibc-2.5 that I know...)

I myself would choose the latter and then produce the crosstoolchain
once, as "self-hosting" - built for the virtual "RHL4" host with the
"stage1" GCC built first using the native GCC on the development
platform. And then make a tarball for this "gcc-4.1.2 for RHEL4" and
install it onto all those several dozen platforms...

The problem is that "make install" checks if it needs to rebuild, and
notices that system headers and other things have changed.

Don't do it that way, instead use "DESTDIR"

http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/DESTDIR.html

This allows you to copy the entire installed tree (not the source and
build trees) to a temporary staging area, from where it can be
packaged up into an archive, then extracted on the destination
machines.

Thanks Jon. One tiny question tho' (I'm total newbie at this). When do I 
do make DESTDIR? At the stage, make -j 2 bootstrap, in which case the 
command would be make DESTDIR=/transfer/gcc-build-archive -j 2, or at 
the final make install stage? (The latter doesn't work.)

If the former is the case, then I would simply copy 
/transfer/gcc-build-archive to the target machines and run make install 
on each, right?

Also, do I have to install texinfo and ncurses on the target machines?

Thanks.

Read the link I sent, which says "DESTDIR should be supported only in
the install* and uninstall* targets, as those are the only targets
where it is useful."

You use DESTDIR with "make install" as in the example on that page.

No.  You do not run make on the target machines.

# configure gcc
make
make install DESTDIR=/tmp/stage

"If your installation step would normally install ‘/usr/local/bin/foo’
and ‘/usr/local/lib/libfoo.a’, then an installation invoked as in the
example above would install ‘/tmp/stage/usr/local/bin/foo’ and
‘/tmp/stage/usr/local/lib/libfoo.a’ instead."

So then you package up all the files under /tmp/stage, which are
arranged in a directory hierarchy exactly as you want in their final
installed location, but under /tmp/stage not /, so you just package
that directory tree up and then extract it on the target machine

cd /tmp/stage
tar czf /tmp/gcc.tar.gz .
# copy archive to target machine and extract

No, because all you do on the target machine is extract an archive.
