latest CVS snapshot configure error - mh/mt-frag

latest CVS snapshot configure error - mh/mt-frag

[Albert Cranford]

I found a configuration bug that prevents compiling the latest CVS
snapshot.
I previously compiled 1.0.1 successfully and attempted to try the latest
and see that
the wrong mt & mh types are being used.  I dump the config.status for
your analysis.

In my successful configuration:
#!/bin/sh
# This file was generated automatically by configure.  Do not edit.
# This directory was configured as follows:
../configure --host=i486-pc-linux-gnu --prefix=/usr --enable-threads
--enable-shared --norecursion 
# using "../config/mh-x86pic" and "../config/mt-x86pic"

From the latest snapshot:
#!/bin/sh
# This file was generated automatically by configure.  Do not edit.
# This directory was configured as follows:
../configure --host=i486-pc-linux-gnu --prefix=/usr --enable-threads
--enable-shared --norecursion 
# using "mh-frag" and "mt-frag"

I even tried to force the site to mh-x86pic and mt-x86pic with
site=x86pic
with no change, still get frag as the site.
I looked over the mail archive site and see only Jeff Johnson reported a
similar
problem(i think).

Any ideas?

Can you tell us what were in mh-frag and mt-frag?

I should describe the problem first.  Heres the output:
Bootstrapping the compiler
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/egcs-1.0.1/egcs/egcs/binary/gcc'
make CC="gcc" libdir=/usr/lib LANGUAGES="c "
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/egcs-1.0.1/egcs/egcs/binary/gcc'
cd ../../gcc && autoheader
/bin/sh: autoheader: command not found
make[2]: *** [../../gcc/cstamp-h.in] Error 127
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/egcs-1.0.1/egcs/egcs/binary/gcc'

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/egcs-1.0.1/egcs/egcs/binary/gcc'
make: *** [bootstrap-lean] Error 2

Second your answer:
---mh-frag
PICFLAG=-fpic
---mt-frag
# When using glibc 2 on Linux we must always use vtable thunks.
  CXXFLAGS=-O2 -g -fvtable-thunks
PICFLAG_FOR_TARGET=-fpic

I looked in 1.0.1 and do not see any mh... or mt... files.

PS: Is there anyway to find a version from the CVS snapshot?

It is a time stamp issue. If you want to use CVS for egcs, you
should at least install autoconf. autoheader is in autoconf.

They look ok.

To install autoconf, I had to get and install m4 package.
Wow that makes all the difference.
Thanks very much.
If all goes well, I send you a response to your earlier
posting about success on linux-2.1.85

When you checkout / update, you can use the '-D now' option to get
a sticky date; you can query it with the cvs status command.

When you run into problems later, you can quote this date so that
somebody else can check out the same version.
