GCJ gen-fib information.

GCJ gen-fib information.

[Me Myself and I]

I have gen-fib located inside

.../objdir/gmp/

It only tells me that it wants

Those error messages don't match the commands you previously said you
used.  In particular there should not be an "objdir" under gcc-4.6.2,
and the build should definitely not be happening in that directory
even if it does exist...

To try to get to the bottom of your problem I've tried to recreate it
using the following steps :-

1. Starting in an EMPTY directory (Test), unzip gcc-4.6.2 - this give
me Test/gcc-4.6.2.

2. cd gcc-4.6.2

3. ./contrib/download_prerequisites - works OK with no errors

4. cd .. - now back in /Test directory

5. mkdir objdir

6. cd objdir - now in Test/objdir

7. ../gcc-4.6.2/configure - works OK with no errors

8. make - works OK with no errors!! :-)

At no point does an "objdir" directory appear anywhere under gcc-4.6.2
(although if it did momentarily I may have missed it, as I ran this
while going over lecture notes and only checked every few minutes).
However fib_table.h and gen-fib.exe were created successfully in
Test/objdir/gmp.

I think, looking through your previous posts, you're either not
entering the commands you should be (or think you are), not running in
the correct directory, or copying error messages from previous posts
instead of the latest run on your machine.

Step 1 above - start in an EMPTY directory - is probably the most
important, as you may have corrupted your source tree by configuring
or buiding within it.  Delete everything and start from scratch again.
 It won't take long, and will save a huge amount of time in the long
run.

Please, take a step back, clean off everything you've done - it isn't
working, and may never work - and go through the process slowly and
carefully again.

David P.

GCJ building

[Me Myself and I]

I'm right with you all the way up to step 7:

#7) 

cd objdir;

./../gcc-4.6.2/configure;

[completes with no problem]

#8) make;

[gives me the same error messages]

Any ideas about what's happening?

Do you mean it failed on step 7 (configure) or step 8 (make)?

I get the impression that configure succeeded and make failed - but
whichever failed,
can you copy and paste the error messages you're now getting.

It can't be exactly the same errors, since your directory structure
must be different
if you've followed the other steps I listed in my previous post.

If you're still getting a message about FIB_TABLE_LIMIT then I may not
be able to
help, since I'm not getting this error, and I'm not knowledgable
enough about the GCC
build process to really help with that.

Let's have a look at the new error messages and see if there are any
clues.  If you can
find the relevant config.log section too, that would also help...

David P.

If these are *still* the error messages you get, then you are *still* 
putting the object directory underneath the source directory. Rather 
than posting snippets of what you did, we need to see the exact, entire 
sequence of commands you issued in order to show you where you are going 
wrong.

And please show us more of the make log: show us the command that fails.
As previously requested.

This is really just an exercise to see how long you can keep stringing
this on, isn't it?

RE: GCJ building

[Me Myself and I]

But the thing is that I havn't, my objdir exists one cd ..
step back, outside my gcc-4.6.2 directory, despite what this error message says.

Do I need to use --prefix  ?  What aught I set it's value to?

Is there anyone else out there who knows what has been happening?

If not, is there anyone out there who has succeeded in building gcc with gcj?

Could they throw me an internet link if they have?

You're either lying or you didn't run the same commands that you claim
to have run.

Only you know which of those is true so everyone else is just wasting
their valuable time helping someone who is either intentionally being
difficult or is simply a lost cause.

OK, against my better judgement, I'll try one more time.

You're either copying messages from older posts, thinking the say the
same as you see on your screen, or you're not typing the commands you
should be (and think you are).

"Feel free to follow along with my simple step-by-step instructions. I
make building FUN!!"
"To begin draw an S, for snake. or GCC. Er, whatever."

Erm, sorry :-)

Anyway, try the following commands :-

    $ cd ~

You should now be in your home directory...

    $ mkdir alice

    $ cd alice

    $ pwd
    /home/davidp/alice

OK - now unpack GCC into this directory.  DO NOT COPY from your old
build attempts - unpack / unzip the original download.
If you copy the old source tree you will probably get errors again, as
it's probably corrupt.

    $ ls
    gcc-4.6.2

Get the other bits you want to build

    $ cd gcc-4.6.2
    $ ./contrib/download_prerequisites

Return to the previous directory

    $ cd ..
    $ pwd
    /home/davidp/alice

NOTE - if you are not in directory "alice" then the following steps
will not work, and you will likely get the same errors as before

Now create a directory to build in

    $ mkdir bob
    $ cd bob
    $ pwd
    /home/davidp/alice/bob

    $ ls
    bob  gcc-4.6.2

NOTE - double check the directory you're now in.  It should NOT be
anywhere under gcc-4.6.2.

Now we can build...

    $ ../gcc-4.6.2/configure

followed by

    $ make

Follow these steps, and if the build doesn't work (again) then copy
the error messages from your console window, not from previous emails.

With these steps there should NOT be any occurence of "objdir"
anywhere in the source or object trees.

Regards,

David P.

Slight error here... that 'ls' should be 'ls ..', or the output will be 
empty.

I'd just noticed that myself :-)

Too much copying and pasting and rearranging the message to make it as
clear and simple as possible, and of course something's bound to go
wrong...

Yes, if you mean this being the goal :

C:\opt\cross\bin>i686-mingw32-gcj-4.6 -v

Producing libgcj from the gcc-4.6.[23] sources doesn't currently work,
the (1st) error comes from compiling 'jni.cc' so basically the problem
is some C++ related problem. But my C++ skills are rusty so although
the problem might be simple :

it isn't so simple to fix without refreshing my C++ memory...

Maybe your question is: "is there anyone out there who has succeeded in
building gcc-4.6.x with gcj for MinGW-host/target on MinGW-build 
platform?"  As seen a partial answer for "is there anyone out there who
has succeeded in building gcc-4.6.x with gcj for MinGW-host/target?" is
"yes"... (It will succeed without the 'libgcj' library, requiring
'--enable-libgcj' in GCC configure)

My build directory is named compiler.

The only thing I can think of is a possible issue with the java related source code.

I use the files

gcc-core-4.6.2.tar
gcc-java-4.6.2.tar

I paste the extracted java files and directories over the gcc files and directories.
It says that there is some replacing involved, so I let it replace them.


Aside from this, I'm not sure what else to do.  If there is no help for my situation here,
could someone give me a URL link for a successfully compiled mingw esque or otherwise,
from source code built, gcj for Windows to just download?

You shouldn't need to paste anything, you should be able to just
extract them to the same place.

What are you copying, in order to paste them?  Is it a directory
you've already built in once?

Try just extracting the files from the tar ball to the same place,
don't copy or paste anything.  At no point has anyone suggested
pasting anything.

Perhaps you could try

answering

our

questions

?

At this point I don't understand how to distinguish you from a troll.

You can, but there are collisions.  That just what I'm saying.

Is this as it should be or not?

Sorry, but you obviously haven't followed the step-by-step
instructions.  You may think you are, but you appear to be building in
the wrong directory - there's no sign of a "compiler" directory name
in the error messages, and the build should not be happening in the
source tree.  This appears to be just a copy and paste of messages
from previous emails.

We've asked you several times to paste in the commands you're using,
but you haven't done that.  I have no idea what you're doing, but it
certainly isn't what everyone keeps telling you to do.

But did you extract gcc into a clean, empty directory?  If you're
still using the same, corrupt, source tree, then of course you'll get
errors.

Try building gcc WITHOUT Java, to see if that works.  If it does, then
perhaps there's something wrong with the Java build process.  If it
doesn't then there's something wrong in your commands / directories.

One major problem is that you're not providing the information needed
to help you.  Until you answer some of the questions people keep
asking, I doubt if we'll ever figure out what's going wrong...

Here is a list of instructions that even my cat could follow:

1. Open a MinGW shell.
2. Type: rm -rf /g; mkdir /g
3. Download the following files from
ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/infrastructure/ :
  gmp-4.3.2.tar.bz2
  mpfr-2.4.2.tar.bz2
  mpc-0.8.1.tar.gz
4. Place these files in the g directory you just created. If you just
accepted all the defaults that the MinGW installer supplied, this will
be at C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\g .
5. Download the following files from
ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/releases/gcc-4.6.3/ :
  gcc-4.6.3.tar.bz2
  gcc-java-4.6.3.tar.bz2
6. Place these files in the g directory you created.
7. Go back to the MinGW shell window.
8. Type the following:
  cd /g
  tar jxf gmp-4.3.2.tar.bz2
  cd gmp-4.3.2
  ./configure --prefix=/mingw
  make && make install
  cd /g
  tar jxf mpfr-2.4.2.tar.bz2
  cd mpfr-2.4.2
  ./configure --prefix=/mingw
  make && make install
  cd /g
  tar zxf mpc-0.8.1.tar.gz
  cd mpc-0.8.1
  ./configure --prefix=/mingw
  make && make install
  cd /g
  tar jxf gcc-4.6.3.tar.bz2
  tar jxf gcc-java-4.6.3.tar.bz2
  mkdir build
  cd build
  ../gcc-4.6.3/configure --prefix=/mingw --enable-java
  make && make install

If this doesn't work, you sodded something up: either you typed
something wrong, or you did something else not described here. Start
again from step 1. If it still doesn't work, you probably broke your
MinGW installation. Uninstall it and reinstall it using the defaults,
then start again from step 1.

This results in a working gcj on a clean Windows XP SP3 for me.
