Built and installed sparc-sun-solaris2.5

[John DelSignore]

Everything went smoothly, except for a minor autoconf/m4 snag.  I
didn't have a GNU m4 installed on my system as "m4".  Make produced
the following error:

cd ./f/runtime && make srcdir=. -f Makefile.in rebuilt
rm -f libU77/config.cache && cd ./libU77 && autoconf && rm -f config.cache
Autoconf requires GNU m4 1.1 or later
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `libU77/configure'
Current working directory /nfs/vinnie/u6/home/tv/bld/jdelsign/src/tools/egcs-1.0.2/gcc/f/runtime
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `f/runtime/libU77/configure'
Current working directory /nfs/vinnie/u6/home/tv/bld/jdelsign/src/tools/egcs-1.0.2/gcc

Current working directory /nfs/vinnie/u6/home/tv/bld/jdelsign/src/tools/egcs-1.0.2/gcc

I dropped a symlink to the GNU m4 and added it to my PATH, and that
made autoconf happy.

Cheers, John D.

Did you upgrade via diffs from 1.0.1 to 1.0.2?  That's the typical
reason for generated files like "configure" being out of date
(which is why autoconf was run in the first place).

The same thing happens when upgrading from one snapshot to the
next via diffs.

What I did was import the 1.0.2 sources into our CVS repository, then
I checked it out into a separate build hierarchy; maybe CVS didn't
preserve the dates.  I also did the "no-no" of building in the same
hierarchy as the checked-out sources instead of the recommended
"objdir" method.  I'm not sure which of these may have caused the
problem.

Cheers, John D.

This is probably the "problem".

You might look at this URL to find out what files you need to
make sure are "touched" to deal with these kinds of problems:
