Hi,

I have problem to build the gcc-3.2.3. I downloaded the source code. Here is what I did.

1) cd /usr/local/src
2) tar zxf gcc-3.2.3.tar.gz
3) cd ..
4) mkdir gcc-3.2.3
5) cd gcc-3.2.3
6) ../src/gcc-3.2.3/configure --prefix=/usr/local/gcc-3.2.3/
7) make

And I received the below errors at the end:

Code:

make[1]: *** [read-rtl.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/gcc-3.2.3/gcc'
make: *** [all-gcc] Error 2

Could someone please let me know what this error mean? I think there is some more errors at the beginning, but I can't copied that error. Also, are those errors log in somewhere? I tried to look at /var/log/messages, but didn't find much.. Please help.

Thanks in advance.

Hey beeloo.. I didn't understood why you created a gcc-3.2.3 directory
and also from this dir why you running the installation...

Untar the tarball in /tmp or in your home directory... execute the configure script with prefix option..

Code:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/gcc-3.2.3/

do everything till 'make install' in the source dir itself

I guess the make is finding object files under newly created gcc-3.2.3 directory that why you are getting this error

What is your SO ?
