I am attempting to build the gcj for Windows in a unix-esque shell
Trying again with gcc-4.6.3.
I have downloaded a program called mcpp, which is apparently a c preprocessor that works.
./contrib/download_prerequisites; works okay.
./configure; works okay.
make; does not work okay:
I am told that my C preprocessor /lib/cpp fails sanity check.
How on earth am I supposed to get past this?

AKAIK, configure in the source tree is stringy discouraged and not well
tested. Read the "Installing GCC: Configuration" again.

OK - I give up on this case as well :{
Me Myself etc., we've tried to help, but you keep ignoring the advice
we're giving you.
It explicitly says in the installation guide "do not run ./configure,
this is not supported..."
and links to the following FAQ - http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/FAQ#configure
You need to start from a clean, empty, NOTHING IN IT, directory.
Unzip, untar or
whatever the GCC sources, then create a NEW build directory NEXT TO GCC :-
anemptydirectory
|
| > gcc-4.6.3
|
| > mybuilddirectory
Then :-
cd mybuilddirectory
../gcc-4.6.3/configure
make
Other people have no problem with this, and I use it all the time to
build cross compilers
for the project I'm working on.
I can't understand why you have such a resistance to doing it as
recommended by the
GCC build instructions - they are there for a reason and ignoring them
will likely lead to a
build failure, as you've already discovered.
Regards,
David P.

You will never succeed in getting help if you are unwilling to answer
people's questions.
Please stop asking for help and ignoring the replies. There must be
better and more interesting mailing lists for you to bother.
