Re: Should I expect a gcc as the output of the build?

[Pavarotti]

Hello,
I read the gcc installation guide again and realised that I should have used a separate subdirectory, something like objdir, for the output.

I did this and used the following commands

$../srcdir/configure --enable-languages=c,c++ --target=i686-pc-linux-gnu
$make

I still cannot generate a gcc. Please advise.

Hi Paravotti,

Do you have all the prerequisites, as per <http://gcc.gnu.org/install/prerequisites.html>?

For instance, to compile GCC, you need to have a C90 compliant compiler installed?

Do you have GNU binutils built & installed?

Et cetera, et cetera.

Hi Pavarotti,

>1. I believe I have met the prerequisites. I have been programing and compiling other applications, drivers, and kernel images without problems. What else could I have missed?

I don't know.

>2. My output has an xgcc. What is xgcc? or where I can find the info about xgcc?

You are intentionally building a cross-compiler, correct?

>Is xgcc just the gcc but with a different name?

I believe xgcc is GCC built as a cross-compiler.  You did add the cross-compiler --target flag, which is for creating a cross-compiler (as per <http://gcc.gnu.org/install/configure.html>).

Is xgcc just the gcc but with a different name?

Hi Pavarotti,

As I understand it, the steps you took won't work.

Follow the GNU GCC instructions:
http://gcc.gnu.org/install/

Should I expect a gcc as the output of the build?

[Pavarotti]

Hello.
I am new to gcc and need your help.
I downloaded gcc-3.3.x.tar and tried to build it myself. The commands I used are

$./congfigure --enable languages=c,c++ --target=i686-pc-linux-gnu
$make

The compilation seems to be successful. I expected a gcc among other tools as the results of build.  I could not find any file named gcc as the output of the compilation, although I see cc1, cc1plus, g++, etc. Should I expect a gcc? what is the xgcc in the ./gcc subdirectory?

My host system is i686 GNU linux and my OS is Fedorea Core 2. My host gcc is version 3.3.3 which comes with Fedora core 2 installation.

Thanks.

Pavarotti
