compile error building a snapshot

compile error building a snapshot

[russe]

I'm trying to build from a recent snapshot on an Intel box running
Redhat 6.2.  (The reason I haven't used the head of the CVS tree is
because I haven't figured out how to ssh through my employer's
firewall yet).

Has this been adressed yet?

Hi Russ,

I build and test the head of the CVS tree once a week.  On 2001-02-11
it built for me on Red Hat Linux 6.2 and Red Hat Linux 7.0.

I use the head of the gcc CVS tree for my compiler.  I'm sure that's
not an issue here though.

I'll assume that 20010124 is a date.

Yeah, J. T. Conklin added an argument to this interface on 2001/01/24.
Please try a more recent weekly snapshot.  If that still fails,
then please post the new errors plus the "config.status" file in your
build directory.

You don't need ssh to check out the CVS head.  Basically you need:

  CVSROOT=:pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.cygnus.com:/cvs/src
  export CVSROOT
  cvs login
  cvs -z 9 co gdb dejagnu binutils

Here's the script that I use.  I regularly do this on an unprivileged
machine outside the Red Hat firewall (running vanilla software from
a retail boxed set).
