by Before I get started: yes, I've read the GCC-FAQ, various other HOWTOS and
FAQS, READMES and a couple of linux books. And I'm actually more concerned
about the libc libraries.
I installed linux on my PC because I wanted to learn and to have some fun.
Yesterday, out of sheer boredom, I decided to upgrade from gcc 2.5.8 to gcc
2.6.2. From sunsite I picked up:
binutils-2.5.2.6.bin.tar.gz
binutils-2.5.2.6.man.tar.gz
extra-4.6.27.tar.gz
gcc-2.6.2-p1.tar.gz
gcc-2.6.2-p2.tar.gz
image-4.6.27.tar.gz
inc-4.6.27.tar.gz
libc-4.7.27.tar.gz
libg++2.6.2.1.bin.tar.gz
tools-2.16.tar.gz
and the appropriate release.* files.
I followed all of the directions in the release files and then I decided to
compile the libc package myself. I compiled the tools archive using my
newly installed gcc-2.6.2. I then unarchived the libc package and did the
typical:
./configure
make clean
make depend
make
Beforehand I also ran a make configure in my /usr/src/linux directory. To
play it safe I redirected stderr and stdout to separate files before I
started the compile and then went to bed. When I got up this morning I
found the stderr file to contain 3500+ lines. This doesn't sound right to
me! I ran a grep -vi 'warning' on the file because I figured warnings
weren't of much concern. As it turns out only about 750 lines aren't
directly warning related.
Point is: I have a WHOLE LOT of errors along the line of "File Not Found".
That doesn't sound right. I can overlook a few errors granted but 3500 or
even 750 is still enough to worry me.
Does anyone know if I'm doing something wrong? I would be happy to email
the stderr file to anyone who would be willing to help. I'd post it, but
you get the idea about the file size. I would REALLY like to reduce the
number of errors here. I'm afraid I'm a newbie to C programming (although
not to programming in general) and I don't want to have to mess with the
source too much.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
Incidentally, gcc seems to run fine. It's just these libraries I'm concerned
about.
