[Flightgear-devel] Internal compiler error

[Clarence Bakirtzidis]

Hi all...   I hope this is not a repetitive question (I tried looking through some of the archives and found a similar question, but the answer didn't help me).   When I try compiling either plib, simgear, metakit, or flightgear I keep getting "Internal compiler error" at seemingly random points. If I re-run the make, sometimes it successfully compiles the file it failed on and then fails again on a different file.  Occassionally it takes up to 10 reties before a file will compile.  On one occassion I managed to build everything using this tedious approach but flightgear would not run, it kept generating segmentation faults.  When I download the pre-built binaries for flightgear it runs without any problems.   The strange thing is I get the "Internal compiler error" when compiling under Windows 2000/Cygwin and under Red Hat Linux 7.3!  Does this mean it is a hardware-related problem?  I have no problems running any other software.  My setup is Pentium III 600EB 512MB PC133 SDRAM 60GB HDD, Leadtek GeForce 2 64MB, SBLive.   Here is a sample run in plib which generates the "Internal compiler error"   ---- SAMPLE RUN START ----   Administrator@ZELIOS-PENTIUM3 /usr/local/plib-1.4.2 $ make Making all in src make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/plib-1.4.2/src' Making all in util make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/plib-1.4.2/src/util' make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all'. make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/plib-1.4.2/src/util' Making all in js make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/plib-1.4.2/src/js' make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all'. make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/plib-1.4.2/src/js' Making all in sl make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/plib-1.4.2/src/sl' make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all'. make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/plib-1.4.2/src/sl' Making all in pui make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/plib-1.4.2/src/pui' make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all'. make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/plib-1.4.2/src/pui' Making all in sg make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/plib-1.4.2/src/sg' make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all'. make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/plib-1.4.2/src/sg' Making all in ssg make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/plib-1.4.2/src/ssg' c++ -DPACKAGE=\"plib\" -DVERSION=\"1.4.2\" -DWIN32=1 -DSTDC_HEADERS=1 -DHAVE_GL_ GL_H=1 -DHAVE_GL_GLU_H=1 -DWIN32=1 -DGLUT_IS_PRESENT=1  -I. -I.  -I../../src/sg -I../../src/util  -I/usr/local/include  -g -O2 -O6 -Wall  -malign-double -I/usr/ local/include -L/usr/local/lib -c ssgSimpleState.cxx ssgSimpleState.cxx: In method `void ssgSimpleState::setTexture(char *, int = 1, int = 1, int = 1)': ssgSimpleState.cxx:632: Internal compiler error. ssgSimpleState.cxx:632: Please submit a full bug report. ssgSimpleState.cxx:632: See <URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/bugs.html> for instructions. make[2]: *** [ssgSimpleState.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/plib-1.4.2/src/ssg' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/plib-1.4.2/src' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1   Administrator@ZELIOS-PENTIUM3 /usr/local/plib-1.4.2 $   ---- SAMPLE RUN END ----   I have tried several things to get this error to go away, including:   * Removing the -O optimisation flags * Removing the -g debug option * Using -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -DNDEBUG for CXXFLAGS as suggested in an old post   Sometimes even ./configure abort and generates "Signal 11".   The code versions I am using are:   plib-1.4.2 SimGear-0.0.18 FlightGear-0.7.10   Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am trying to make some small modifications to FlightGear for a university project.  I have been trying to compile flightgear on and off for a few weeks now.  I have managed to get it to compile on Windows 2000/Cygwin on my PC at work without any problems, it's just my home PC which has this problem.   Regards,   Clarence.
