'posix_spawnp' error in build

'posix_spawnp' error in build

[Prashant]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1625 bytes --]

Hello,

I'm new to the GCC community, who is willing to contribute and expand my
knowledge on compilers. I hope this is the right forum I'm asking for help.

 I'm trying to build the gcc repository. Based on the instructions given on
the SummerOfCode - GCC Wiki (gnu.org)
<https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/SummerOfCode#Before_you_apply> and GCC for New
Contributors — GCC Contributors Guide 0.1 documentation
(gcc-newbies-guide.readthedocs.io)
<https://gcc-newbies-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>, I have tried the
following commands.

1) git clone git://gcc.gnu.org/git/gcc.git
2) cd gcc & ./contrib/download_prerequisites
3) mkdir objdir & cd objdir
4) ../gcc/configure --prefix=/home/path/to/gcc --enable-languages=c,c++
5) make -j 4

Running the 5th throws the following error:
'xgcc: fatal error: cannot execute ‘cc1plus’: posix_spawnp: No such file or
directory
compilation terminated.'

I have tried to search Google and take help of ChatGPT but even the
guidance didn't resolve my issue.

Following are the solutions that I tried.

Executing the command:

1) 'sudo apt-get install --reinstall build-essential'
2) 'sudo apt-get install --reinstall g++'
3) 'unset GCC_EXEC_PREFIX'

This is based on the following pages:
php - Compile error: "g++: error trying to exec 'cc1plus': execvp: No such
file or directory" - Stack Overflow
<https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8878676/compile-error-g-error-trying-to-exec-cc1plus-execvp-no-such-file-or-dir>

and ChatGPT inputs.

I haven't been able to find a solution for the same. Any guidance/input
will be appreciated.


Thanks

That is wrong.  Build dir as a subdir of the source dir is not
supported.  It might work in many cases, but that does not mean it is
okay to do.

I don't know if that is one of the weird problems caused by this.  Easy
enough to find out.  First "make distclean", and then "git status".

The error message says that the newly compiled compiler driver ("xgcc",
which will be insbtalled as just "gcc" eventually) cannot execute the
newly compiled actual C++ compiler ("cc1plus"), not from the place it
thinks it put it, anyway.

gl;hf, happy holidays, let us know how it went / what else you find out,

It *is* supported, per discussion at
https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2023-November/638760.html.

But then you should use "../configure", not "../gcc/configure".  Running
the configure script of a GCC component (instead of the top-level
configure) directly is completely unsupported.

Huh, okay.  That changed "recently" then, for some elongated timescale
anyway :-)

Ha!  I didn't even notice that.

Without all the necessary configuration arguments, yeah.  So it is still
easier to just make an actually  separate object dir -- even if only so
you can just blow it away when you want to start over :-)

Hello,

Any solution you have in mind?

The info is not sufficient to diagnose the root cause.

Can you provide more information?

- The exact version of GCC;
- The system type;
- The options given when GCC was configured/built;
- The complete command line that triggers the error (not the "make"
command, but the command which really outputted this error message, i.
e. "/path/to/.../xgcc ...")

and do not cross post to gcc@gcc.gnu.org with no reason.

   - Version GCC: gcc-14-20231224
   - system-type: Ubuntu-18.04 LTS (WSL)
   - options when configured (exact command given, the given are the only
   commands I have given):
   $PWD/../gcc/configure --prefix=$HOME/GCC --enable-languages=c,c++
   --disable-werror --disable-multilib
   - complete command that triggers the error (*I have attached the log
   too, that has the complete set of outputs*):
   make[3]: Entering directory '/home/prashanthd/gcc-install/objdir/gcc'
   .......<some more text>
   /home/prashanthd/gcc-install/objdir/./gcc/xgcc
   -B/home/prashanthd/gcc-install/objdir/./gcc/ -fno-checking -xc++ -nostdinc
   /dev/null -S -o /dev/null -fself-test=../../gcc/gcc/testsuite/selftests
   xgcc: fatal error: cannot execute ‘cc1plus’: posix_spawnp: No such file

   - File system hierarchy(from home directory)
   . (home)

       ├── gcc
       └── objdir

   I have been running the above 'configure command' (Bullet point 3) and
   'make -j 4' command in the objdir directory. Executed the prerequisites
   command (./contrib/download_prerequisites) in the gcc directory before
   executing all of the above.

Getting the same error for Ubuntu versions 22.04, 20.04 and 18.04.

Sorry for that. I've a little less idea on how to use these platforms. Will
take care of the same.

Thanks,
