installing egcs

[Claude Barrouil]

Hi,

I work on a sgi/indigo2 with irix6.2, I just gave up trying to install
gcc-2.7.2.3 because irix6.2 cannot accept this release (see
http://reality.sgi.com/knobi/gcc-2.7.2.x-on-irix-6.2-6.3 ), and looking some
help on the news, I discovered egcs. I downloaded all tar files from the
closest site :

egcs-1.0.tar.gz            egcs-g++-tests-1.0.tar.gz
egcs-core-1.0.tar.gz       egcs-objc-1.0.tar.gz
egcs-g++-1.0.tar.gz        egcs-tests-1.0.tar.gz

I choose egcs-core-1.0.tar.gz, as it seems logical to begin with the "core".

./configure... good. make... good. There are some WARNINGS, but they seem to
be minor. Check by compiling one of my programs (C): it works! GREAT!

Now, I need to complete the work... I tried to un-tar.gz egcs-g++-1.0, but it
seems the unpacked files are mixed with those of egcs-1.0 ...

I'm not sure what to do now. And what's the difference between
egcs-1.0.tar.gz and egcs-core-1.0.tar.gz ? I've found no installation info.

Are they some guidelines available ?

Thank you in advance

From the README in the ftp dir:
  * egcs-1.0.tar.gz             --  Full distribution in gzip format
  * egcs-1.0.tar.bz2            --  Full distribution in bzip2 format

  * egcs-core-1.0.tar.gz        --  C & ObjC compilers only in gzip format.
  * egcs-core-1.0.tar.bz2       --  C & ObjC compilers only in bzip2 format.

  * egcs-g++-1.0.tar.gz         --  G++ compiler and C++ runtime libraries
                                    in gzip format.
  * egcs-g++-1.0.tar.bz2        --  G++ compiler and C++ runtime libraries
                                    in bzip2 format.

[ ... ]

So, if you picked up egcs-1.0.tar.gz, you got everything.  You wouldn't need
any of the other pieces.

If you wanted just the core & C++ compiler you would pick up
egcs-core-1.0.tar.gz & egcs-g++-1.0.tar.gz

Unpack them in the same directory.

Hi Claude,

egcs-1.0.tar.gz includes EVERYTHING: C, C++, Objective C, Fortran, you
name it!  Since it's such a large package, the egcs developers decided to
break it down into pieces: egcs-core-1.0.tar.gz, egcs-g++-1.0.tar.gz, and
so on.

So, all you need is egcs-1.0.tar.gz if you want to build all languages.

I hope this helps.

What exactly does you mean by "no not works"?

installing egcs

[Glen R. Salo]

I installed egcs-1.0.1 on a DEC Alpha running RedHat Linux 5.0 with all of the
latest glibc updates.  My only problem is that f2c (fort77) no longer works. 
Any ideas?  I've tried reinstalling f2c and I did touch gcc/f/f2c-exists-ok
before make bootstrap, but neither seemed to help.

Thanks for all of your efforts.

Glen
