Folks;
I'm trying to install gcc-3.4.6 & install SWIG tool on Solaris 10 (Sparc), but when i try to run make for gcc i got this error below:

make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `all-gcc'

and when i try to run "make install" to install swig, i got this error:


*** Error code 2
The following command caused the error:
for lang in gcj typemaps tcl perl5 python guile java mzscheme ruby php4 ocaml pike chicken csharp modula3 allegrocl clisp lua cffi uffi std; \
do \
echo "Installing language specific files for $lang"; \

Are you trying to build gcc, if so why?

Find the script causing the errors and add a "-x" to the starting part...

#!/bin/sh

to

#!/bin/sh -x

i was trying to build it from scratch.
is your answer for the first question or the second one?

i added -x to the file i think was causing the issue with no luck

Get gcc from sunfreeware or similar, or even better get Studio11 from Sun. Life is far to short to be rebuilding gcc unless you really want to. Anyway, you need a compiler to build gcc, so you'll have to install something like, oh, gcc.

What it should be doing is expanding all the variables and displaying the commands and arguments so you can see what bits are failing.

ok, i will give up on building gcc, i'm still having issues with using "make install" for swig with the error i have above in this thread.
any help?
