I'm trying to install gcc (c & c++ only) on a PowerPC running yellowdog Linux. Currently gcc 2.95.4 is installed for everyone. I want to install a newer version only for me and here's what I did:
-downloaded and installed (only for me) DejaGNU; then I executed "runtest -V": Expect version is 5.32.2 Tcl version is 8.3 Framework version is 1.4.4 -downloaded and installed (only for me) bintuils version 2.16.91.0.1 (2.15 or newer is required according to http://gcc.gnu.org/install/specific.html#powerpc-x-linux-gnu); -I get the following unexpected failures when I execute "make check" in the binutils obj directory (all other results are as expected): FAIL: ELF weak func first DSO FAIL: ELF weak func last DSO FAIL: ELF weak data first DSO FAIL: ELF weak data last DSO FAIL: ELF weak data first DSO common FAIL: ELF weak data last DSO common Questions: Are these failures fatal? What problems could they lead to later? How can I fix these failures? -downloaded and unpacked (in "GCC/Source/Unpacked") these files: gcc-core-3.4.4.tar.bz2 gcc-core-3.4.4.tar.bz2.sig gcc-g++-3.4.4.tar.bz2 gcc-g++-3.4.4.tar.bz2.sig gcc-testsuite-3.4.4.tar.bz2 gcc-testsuite-3.4.4.tar.bz2.sig -changed to "GCC/Build" and executed "../Source/Unpacked/configure --prefix=$PROGRAMS_DIR/GCC --enable-threads=posix --enable-languages=c,c++" -executed "make bootstrap" -executed "make -k check" to test the build and got a lot of lines like these: FAIL: gcc.c-torture/compile/20031023-4.c -O0 (test for excess errors) FAIL: gcc.c-torture/compile/20031023-4.c -O1 (test for excess errors) FAIL: gcc.c-torture/compile/20031023-4.c -O2 (test for excess errors) FAIL: gcc.c-torture/compile/20031023-4.c -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer (test for excess errors) FAIL: gcc.c-torture/compile/20031023-4.c -O3 -g (test for excess errors) FAIL: gcc.c-torture/compile/20031023-4.c -Os (test for excess errors) -I also got a lot of compile failures. And here's what's bothering me now: Are these failures fatal? How can I fix them? Here's some more info about the system: kernel kernel version: 2.4.19-4asmp glibc version: 2.2.5 machine: processor : 0 cpu : 7400, altivec supported temperature : 35-37 C (uncalibrated) clock : 450MHz revision : 2.9 (pvr 000c 0209) bogomips : 894.56 processor : 1 cpu : 7400, altivec supported temperature : 35-37 C (uncalibrated) clock : 450MHz revision : 2.9 (pvr 000c 0209) bogomips : 894.56 total bogomips : 1789.13 machine : PowerMac3,3 motherboard : PowerMac3,3 MacRISC Power Macintosh detected as : 65 (PowerMac G4 AGP Graphics) pmac flags : 00000000 L2 cache : 1024K unified memory : 512MB pmac-generation : NewWorld Any help is welcome. _______________________________________________ Help-gplusplus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gplusplus
