Hi Folks, tonite I tried to compile the new version of binutils (2.16.1) on various SUN-Workstations without success.
(1) First of all, there saemas to be a bug, if you use "./configure --prefix /usr/gnu" I got errors when typeing "make" in the sub directories "bfd" and "libiberty". I tried to work around that by going directly into the sub dirs and type "./configure --prefix /usr/gnu" there (2) Question: Why is'nt there an uninstall feature, to get rid of previous releases? Here are the details, and failures: SUN OS 4.1.4 ============ SS5, 170 MHZ with gcc 2.95.3 (/usr/gnu/bin/gcc) Failure, see enclosure (BinU_SunOS414.gz)! binutils-2.16 -> I gave up with the "--prefix" in the config. The problem is reported above! binutils-2.15 -> I gave up with the "--prefix" in the config. The problem is reported above! binutils-2.14 -> succeeded! (As already before in 11/2002!!!) Solaris 5.8 =========== With the following hacks arround the "--prefix" bug I finally succeeded: cd bfd ./configure --prefix /usr/gnu cd .. cd gas ./configure --prefix /usr/gnu cd .. cd gprof ./configure --prefix /usr/gnu cd .. cd intl ./configure --prefix /usr/gnu cd .. cd libiberty ./configure --prefix /usr/gnu cd .. cd opcodes ./configure --prefix /usr/gnu cd .. ./configure --prefix /usr/gnu Solaris 5.9 =========== With the following hacks arround the "--prefix" bug I finally succeeded: cd bfd ./configure --prefix /usr/gnu cd .. cd gas ./configure --prefix /usr/gnu cd .. cd gprof ./configure --prefix /usr/gnu cd .. cd intl ./configure --prefix /usr/gnu cd .. cd libiberty ./configure --prefix /usr/gnu cd .. cd opcodes ./configure --prefix /usr/gnu cd .. ./configure --prefix /usr/gnu OpenBSD 3.4 =========== binutils-2.16.1 -> I gave up with the "--prefix" in the config. The problem is reported above! binutils-2.16 -> I gave up with the "--prefix" in the config. The problem is reported above! binutils-2.15 -> I gave up with the "--prefix" in the config. The problem is reported above! binutils-2.14 -> succeeded! OpenBSD 3.6 =========== Ultra5, 270 MHZ with gcc 3.3.2 (/usr/bin/gcc) Failure, see enclosure (BinU_OBSD36.gz)! binutils-2.16 -> I gave up with the "--prefix" in the config. The problem is reported above! binutils-2.15 -> I gave up with the "--prefix" in the config. The problem is reported above! binutils-2.14 -> succeeded! (As already before in 11/2002!!!) (This is already included in the original OBSD 3.6 delivery) Strange Question: ================= When will there be a stable verion arround? May I help you on the way to that? Kind Regards from bloody Old Germany Peter Klein
