Very Computer

Hi:

I'm trying to get gcc  2.4.3 to build on my 486/33 running the FCS Solaris 2.1 x86.
The configure utility does have a case statement for compiling gcc for this platform
(I'm using: ./configure i486-unknown-solaris2).

However, the first make (make LANGUAGES=c) is failing on insn-recog.c --
the assembler is * terribly. I've viewed the *.s file created and there are alot of
"#" signs within the code that I believe are the root of the problem.

Does anyone know how to get around this?  Has anyone successfully gotten gcc to run
on this platform?

Thanks for any pointers/comments you can think of..

Doug

How do you compile the compiler without a cc to make gcc?

I get the same thing with gcc 2.4.5. Any help out there??

Thanks tunes

I have a compiler -- the OEM release of ProWorks..

BTW, has anyone tried gcc 2.4.5?

I don't know if anyone has ever successfully built GCC on Solaris 2.x for x86.
It is possible that this has never been done before.

If you want to give me an account on your system (setup so that I can telnet
to it from the internet) then I would be willing to try to do the build...
but be warned!  My other projects have to take precedence over this... in
fact, I may *never* actually get time to try to do the build.

Yes,

I'm also running Solaris 2.1 FCS with the FCS ProWorks Compilers, and tried
2.4.5 the other day.  I get the same problem with the insn-recog.c that
everyone else has reported.

   I generated the assembly code, but it's double-dutch to me.  Maybe someone
will be able to spot the problem. ( An extract appears below..).

   Maybe someone has a contact at sun who know's what they're doing?  The
ProWorks compilers are unusable(presently) for anything serious (ie Longjmp's
out of signal handlers don't work).

Cheers
Scott.

It has been done.  We have gcc 2.2.2 in our /usr/local/bin here.
Unfortunately, I don't know who here built it, so I can't provide
any tips.
