successful build gcc-3.2.2 solaris x86

[Robert Hoffmann]

Hello,

I just finished building gcc-3.2.2 on a Solaris 8 x86 box. I noticed 
that sunfreeware only copied 3.2.1 over, to 3.2.2, so I decided to make 
it myself.

the machine had gnu make and gnu binutils, and there was a package 
installation og the SMCgcc (3.2.1).

The only thing I changed in the machine to make it work, is:

I added the following line in /usr/include/stdlib.h (was an easy place 
to put it)

    #define DEFAULT_PCC_STRUCT_RETURN    0

I ran gmake bootstrap, then gmake, and then gmake install, and the 
following is what I get:

./config.guess  
i386-pc-solaris2.8


gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 3.2.2

The programs seem to compile fine, I made a little hello world proggy, and
gcc aa.c -o aa
bash-2.03# ./aa
Hello da world

cheers

I forgot,

the gcc -v output is:

bash-2.03# gcc -v

Configured with: ../gcc-3.2.2/configure --with-gnu-ld --with-gnu-as

nice, but a some software don't compile properly on solaris under
gcc 3.2.x or compile but not work properly - for instance reformime,
which is a part of maildrop software. So, I must in this case replace
this software with compiled on gcc 2.95.3 and this do it working.
This is also great question to answer if I should compile new gcc on
Solaris or leave 2.95.3. This second way remains be still better

Hello Steven,

well, some mirrors must be out of date, cause if you look here:
ftp://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/mirror/opcom.sunfreeware.com/intel/8/

you can see both: 3.2.1 and 3.2.2  having the same size, and after 
installing the 3.2.2 it is actually 3.2.1, try it ! hehe.

About the DEFAULT_PCC_STRUCT_RETURN, shoite, I guess for ELF I do have 
to put a 1, ok then, I will put a 1, and remake it. I think it will work 
fine too.
The only problem was that it was undefined to begin with.

Maybe we should figure out a way to run fixincludes in the solaris 
install, and fully replace the old stuff. Actually, even better, maybe 
solaris should come with a "old" and a "gnu compatible" installation of 
the header files. I will suggest that to the Sun guys hehehe.

cheers

Bob

No, in fact I did not copy gcc 3.2.1 to gcc 3.2.2.  To make sure
I have tested the package I have an also recopied it to sunfreeware.com.
The package there should be correct.

Note also that as far as I can see 3.2.1 has

#define DEFAULT_PCC_STRUCT_RETURN    1

and so this should be set in 3.2.2 rather than a 0.  Correct or not?
