I build gcc on OpenSolaris everyday. It definitely works. The trick is following the platform specific build instructions on gcc's web page.
Common gotcha's: 1. make sure to set CONFIG_SHELL to something like ksh, Solaris's sh won't do 2. don't build in the main gcc directory, make one instead 3. use Solaris ld, but use Gnu's gas. ie. --with-gnu-as --with-as=/usr/sfw/bin/gas --without-gnu-ld --with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld Brett Albertson brett.albertson at stratech.com 919-379-8449 ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:tools-compilers-bounces at opensolaris.org] On Behalf Of Ajishrao.r Sent: Saturday, November 17, 2007 8:30 AM To: tools-compilers at opensolaris.org Subject: [tools-compilers] How to rebuild GCC? Hi, I have downloaded the GCC from the gcc.gnu.org. I am getting errors in solaris platforms to rebuild. Can any one tell the procedure or settings to recompile the gcc? -- Thanks Ajeesh -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
