egcs-1.1b and gld/gas build problems on Solaris

egcs-1.1b and gld/gas build problems on Solaris

[Marat Boshernitsan]

Hi,

I can't figure out how to force egcs to use gld/gas on Solaris.
Granted, gld/gas are not installed in the usual place (under
$egcs-prefix/sparc-sun-solaris2.6/bin), but they are in the path, and I
even tried making them symlinks to as and ld that are found before
/usr/ccs/bin.  

Oh, and, of course, I am configuring with

configure --prefix=/usr/misc --enable-shared --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Marat.

Please let us know if this does not work for you. Clearly any suggestions
for improving this FAQ entry are welcome! :-)

Ok, that worked, thanks.  I did look at the FAQ, but missed this entry
because I was looking for gld-related info (since that's where my gcc
was dying).  May I suggest that this FAQ entry be rephrased somewhat
along these lines:

    GCC can not find GAS/GLD

    If GCC was configured to use GNU assembler (--with-gnu-as) and/or GNU
    linker (--with-gnu-ld), you need to ensure that EGCS finds them. 

    One way to do that is to configure the GNU assembler/linker with the
    same --prefix option as you used for EGCS. Then build & install the GNU
    assembler. After the GNU assembler has been installed,proceed with
    building EGCS.

    Another alternative is to create links to GNU as and ld in any of the
    directories printed by the command `gcc -print-search-dirs | grep
    '^programs:''. The link to `ld' should be named `real-ld' if `ld'
    already exists.

Thanks again,

Marat.

You could try putting symlinks called real-ld and as in
$egcs-prefix/sparc-sun-solaris2.6/bin
that MAY work.

Good point!

Thanks for your hint. I have just installed the following update to our
FAQ. Would that have helped you in your original search?

(Clearly any further hints about the FAQ are most welcome!)

If you're using the 19981005 snapshot, they broke the old scheme
unintentionally.  Use the -with-ld=<full path> and --with-as=<full path>
