make bootstrap and make not working for gcc-4.4.1

make bootstrap and make not working for gcc-4.4.1

[Margaret Doll]

I need help in installing gcc in /usr/local.

After configuring gcc in /usr/local/gcc-4.4.1/objdir using

../gcc/configure --prefix=/usr/local/ --enable-threads=[osix --enable- 
shared --enable-languages=c++,java --enable-bootstrap

I try

make bootstrap
make:  ** No rule to make target 'bootstrp'.  Stop
make
	ends in

/bin/sh:  line1:  build/genmodes:  No such file or directlry
make:  ***[s-modes-h] Error 127

I need the gcj compiler for some software that I am trying to install.

The system is a RedHat system running:  2.4.21-58ELsmp

I have installed redhat-java-rpm-scripts-1.0.2-2
	gcc-3.2.3-59
	texinfo-4.9
	mpfr-2.4.1
	gmp-4.1.2-6

The output from the compile is:

Evidently, you misspelled bootstrap as bootstrp. Also,
--enable-bootstrap is the default in your case, and just make is fine. I
can also see a typo posix as [osix, and, again, that --enable-threads is
redundant, is the default, likewise for --enable-shared.

Paolo.

Last but not least, from your build dir you should invoke the toplevel
configure, that is the one in gcc-4.4.1, not in gcc-4.4.1/gcc.

The [osix  was a typo.  My email system is not on my server.

I added the --enable-bootstrap because I was not getting a bootstrap  
option

I was following the instructions on the build from http://gcc.gnu.org/java/build-snapshot.html

5. Compile and install gcc/gcj/libgcj
  $ cd compile
  $ mkdir objdir
  $ cd objdir
  $ ../gcc/configure --enable-threads=posix --prefix=/home/joerg/gcc \  
--enable-shared --enable-languages=c++,java \ --with-as=/opt/gnu/bin/ 
as --with-ld=/opt/gnu/bin/ld
  $ make bootstrap
  $ make
  $ make install
Which doesn't work.
cd /usr/local/gcc-4.1.1
./configure
ends in the error that I have the wrong version of mpfr.h.   I am  
using mpfr-2.4.1.   The error log says that I should be using
mpfr 2.3.2+
I will look for mpfr 2.3.2 and try again.

I am still using mpfr 2.4.1 installed in /usr/local

I started with a clean gcc-4.4.1 directory
cd /usr/local/gcc-4.4.1
mkdir objdir
cd objdir
../configure  --prefix=/usr/local/ --enable-threads=posix --enable- 
shared --enable-languages=c++,java --with-gmp --with-mpfr

make bootstrap
	
	goes on for many minutes and ends with

What was I supposed to do to make this work?

Adjust your LD_LIBRARY_PATH to pick up the shared libraries in
/usr/local where gmp/mpfr are installed.

Wrong config.log btw, the relevant one is i686-pc-linux-gnu/libgcc/config.log

  ? I thought we weren't supposed to use "make bootstrap" any more, that it
was the default you got from just running plain "make".  I'd omit the "make
bootstrap" and just go straight to the next line.

  Possibly you have an old version lying around and it's finding it first?
Does it help if you add a suitable --with-mpfr= option?  Otherwise you may
have to reproduce the failing autoconf test to figure out why it thinks you
have an outdated mpfr header.

Re: make bootstrap and make not working for gcc-4.4.1

[Margaret Doll]

With the addition of the definition the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, the  
configuration, make bootstrap, make and make install
worked.

Thanks to everyone that gave me suggestions.
